    How to Defeat a MMA guy

    What are some of Weaknesses of MMA fighters?

    What are some counters to when they grab you an attempt to take you down?

    Also many say there is no-counter once they gain the submission lock? Is this true. is there away to escape submission lock. Is there a counter or a way one can squirm out of that painful posistion before having to tap out or getting a limb broken?

    What sorta of fighters do MMA guys dread?

    'mma fighters' have the same weaknesses as everyone else.

    depends on where they grab you. lots of factors there. momentum, position, etc.

    again, depends on several factors. the lock, whos doing it, your experience with it, how well is it being applied.

    depends on the fighter

    lubricant. Always cover your entire body with a non-water soluble lubricant, rather than Astroglide, or K-Y. Sweat will increase your slipperyness, and once you add in Gene's secret tickle manuver, you're free to escape and defeat them due to their lack of kicking ability.

    This is not.
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    Actually the 2nd one is true. There's a guy at the gym that you just can't tap with certain subs. But he's a jits guy...not learning jits is stupid.

    1. Every fighter has weaknesses whether a traditional practitioner or sport combat.

    2. Depends on what take down. Is it a real fight or sport? Are we in a ring or cage? From a clinch or shoot?

    3. If an opponent has a solid lock (in competition) you tap or risk your career. In a real fight don't let him/her put a lock on you (I know easier said than done). You don't want an attacker immobilizing you, you don't know what his intentions are afterwards; maybe just to beat you up or rob you, or maybe worse.

    4. The guy standing across from him.

    Not trying to be a jerk in any of my answers, just trying to clarify. There's so many variables to consider to get a more accurate answer.
