"Average" MMA

Finally, some one addressing the hear of the topic. THis is the stuff I wanted. Yeah, that "eye of the tiger" to use a horid phrase of a Rocky movie. Fighting is as much a mind set as it is a skill set. You have to have the heart and drive

I addressed this in my very first post, MMA fighters are no different than other fighters ( technique aside), the fighter mindset is in all fighters, regardless of discipline.
And the only way to understand it and deal with is to fight them, period.

Ohh, sorry. I must have misinterpreted what you were saying.

No worries.

Trying to focus on dealing with a fighters technique is a "first level" or "superficial" stage, where some end up "fighting the opponents fight".
You wanna fight the intent, the mindset if you will.
To understand what it means to fight a MMA, average or otherwise, one must simply fight them.
Yes, technique and strategy are important, but they will vary from figher to fighter, sometimes to a huge degree as you go from combat art to combat art, but the basic mindset remains to be quite the same.
