My Fight Result: Marcus Aven

For my second MMA fight I was matched up with Marcus Aven out of San Diego. He is a wrestler who happened to me making his MMA debut. The fight started off really good. I was able to tag him with some really good shots on my feet including a head kick that rocked him really bad. After I gave him a few combinations he shot on me and took me down. I was able to sweep to mount but with seconds left in the first he managed to pull off the armbar.

I am very pleased with my performance because I felt that I have improved a lot since my first fight. I have a few things on the ground I need to work on but I am coming back strong January 8th.

Book Review: Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game

Book: Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts

Authors: Greg Jackson and Kelly Crigger

Book Type: MMA Instructional

Price: $23.07 (Amazon)

Rating: 9/10

There are a lot of instructional MMA books out there today but Greg Jackson’s book has two features that make it stand out above the rest. There is a “How To Guide on Making A Game Plan” which Jackson is famous for and there is a section on “How to Survive a Street Fight”.

As a fighter I really enjoyed reading the very detailed game plan section of the book. I even used some of  his suggestions for my last fight. Jackson breaks down everything you need to do in order to create a successful game plan and defeat your opponent. As a young man who lives in Las Vegas and promotes at a few clubs, I really enjoyed the street fight sections because you would be surprised how many drunk guys like the start fights here in Vegas, I know crazy huh lol.

The rest of the book is very well done also. There are hundreds of full colored pictures that illustrate every single stand move you could possible think of. Jackson also did a good job of explaining step by step how to execute each move.

I really enjoyed reading Jacksons book and I use it often as a reference. This book would be a great addition to any up and coming fighter book shelf.
