Re: ~The possible future of MMA~ (Must See)
Well...let's see. I'll start with the Blair kid. This kid really looks like a young BJ Penn. He's got pretty good striking, but I have NEVER seen a kid with his grappling talent at such a young age. Some of his stuff seems a bit gimmicky, but that usually doesn't stick around, as once he gets older, it won't work as well (e.g. the turtling into a kneebar thing, or that cool little cartwheel type thing into north south).
The other kid can strike like a demon. He's got amazing form for anybody, let alone a child. I only wish they could show him in action against a real opponent. I tend to be very wary of focus mitt/training sessions. I could get a good trainer with some mitts and he'd make me look like god had decided to throw some 4 ouncers on if he wanted to. That being said, I'm not saying that at all about this kid. His striking speed is great and technique is just as good in all forms. I even like that they are training him for the MMA groundgame, with GnP into subs and whatnot.
If both these kids keep it up and don't get their physique messed with during puberty, they could make some huge waves in MMA. I really hope they do.
Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is like a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. I could never say no to a handjob, but which would you rather have?
