I think that makes for an exciting fight.

but this fight is happening because he was running his mouth about he was undefeated and an awesome MMA fighter. It should be an MMA fight. At what point does he have the nerve to fraudulently sell services as an MMA instructor when he doesn't know anything about fighting on the ground? While it is awesome that you are down to fight when/wherever, the dude is a fraud and a scam artist and should be exposed.

He already said, he's the gym owner, not a trainer. He hires people to run the classes. I do agree though that if he fights it should be full MMA (possibly with a reasonable time limit on the ground).

Christian, I'm going to have to ask some a blunt questions. What's the deal with your cancer? Are you fighting fit? Are you actually signed up to compete in a major MMA promotion? Did you sign up before or after you found out about your illness?

My Number one question is this, Why in the **** would you guys have ever done this fight in a parking lot??? Ridiculous, He has a huge empty warehouse where you guys could have put on gloves, and had someone "ref" or oversee the match or whatever, that way we would have seen this fight already, silly.... either way, I would love to see the next one if thats whats gonna happen!

Here's the part I don't understand. Both Darrow and the Long Island Brothers are being very vague about what actually happened, but as nearly as I can tell, an MMA professional and a high-level MMA amateur had a dispute over the professional's fighting credentials and experience, so the MMA professional sought out the MMA amateur and found him at an MMA gym. These two MMA fighters confronted each other and determined to fight to settle their differences . . . . so they left the MMA facility and went to the parking lot, where the amateur cracked the pro's jaw but the pro refused to strike the amateur for fear of legal repercussions?

This makes no sense to me. Was there a gas leak or some sort of important event happening inside the MMA gym, such that there was no cage, ring, or mat space where the two of you could have sparred with things like mouth guards?

If I sound like I'm missing something obvious, keep in mind that I've only read this thread.

Well, if some big, bald, muscular guy from the internet turned up outside my workplace all riled up and demanding Gong Sau because he thought that I'd been saying untrue things about him and that I'd been getting my buddies to phone him up saying how I was going to kick his ass, the *absolute last thing* I'd want to do is follow him back to his place...

But that's just me. I'm no fighter. :qgreenjum

As I understand it, the MMA gym is James's place of work. Might not go down too well with the boss if he and some angry guy from the internet start railing on each other and cussing each other out in front of the customers...

JFS virus. Strikes at the most inconvenient of times.

OK. I got the impression from Darrow's vague descriptions that you two talked it over and agreed to some kind of wonky one-sided "fight" to prove his defensive skills against you. So this was more of a scuffle between two guys who lost their tempers while talking in a parking lot? Are we to take it that James attacked Christian?
