Had a few fights again earlier on today, well, three to be exact, and both went swimmingly well.
For my first fight, my opponent chose Machida, so I chose Forrest. My opponent came out by spamming the fight buttons when close togther, so after a few hits I just took him to the ground where I definitely got the better of him in the first round. I soon defeated him in the second round, after noticing he was somewhat gassed after we rolled about for a bit - I stuck him in a rear naked choke and got the tap. Victory was sweet.
Second match my opponent chose Rampage so I opted this time for Thiago Silva. It was the first time I opted for him, but his stats are decent and I compared them to Rampage's and felt I could get the upper hand. I dominated him and and got the full mount, ultimately smashing him into a knockout win after just 1 minute 27 of the first round. Booyah!
Last fight was slightly more even, he opted for Rashad Evans so I went Thiago Silva again after thoroughly enjoying using him last fight. The stand up was fairly even although I was picking my shots better I feel, and when I managed to take him down I was in control - my transitioning, blocking and reversals are getting slightly better which is nice to know. It went to the second round, until we were both relatively gassed. I went for the kill and locked in the kimora armbar submission and made him tap, such immenseness. The match was quite laggy throughout which was slightly annoying, I even contemplated quitting after a minute or so because it was just frustratingly laggy. I held on though and glad I did as a victory is always pleasant.
My record is slightly more respectable now though:
26 wins
12 losses
I should be on 31 wins mind if it wasn't for the quitters, but out 5 quitters out of 42 fights isn't too bad - I imagine some people have had it way worse than me so I won't groan too much now.
