Right now it looks like I will be fighting muay thai in the first fight of the night, against this guy from NY...if you are going, we can meet up or just say hi or whatever after I fight...I will be in black trunks with a cobra on them...like I said, right now I am scheduled to go first...

Hey Merry,
You know I was talking about kuoshu saturday night...but that night when we were eating we ran into William Varner and he told us he's got a KOTR in may...that's a good show, I think I might do that one...I really enjoyed muay thai...

Good luck man, give em hell.

yah, i said it in MP's thread, but I think it was the "positional dominance" rules in thai. In otherwords, your opponent wanted to pull your head down, you were "supposed" to want to keep your head up, so to them, putting your head down was losing the battle for head control. That's the only reason I can think of for them scoring blatantly blocked knees higher than cleanly landing more punches and side knees.
