8/18/2023 0 Comments Jake matthews anaconda choke videoI don’t go in there shooting doubles on them. “My Jiu-Jitsu skills are obviously top level, but it’s because all these guys try to take me down. “Yeah, I don’t really watch a lot of football, but if I had to pick a team, I gotta go with the home team, for sure.” Marco Polo Reyes at UFC 211: I haven’t fought in the DFW area, the Dallas-Fort Worth area since before I was in the UFC. I was real confident after I landed the knee, obviously, but I heard him making weird noises and stuff, and knew he was about to tap.” Fighting at home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area: “The second round, I didn’t shoot it quite as deep, and I pulled it back a little better. They’re going to fight it more, and I felt like that’s what happened. If someone gets cranked in class, in Jiu-Jitsu practice, they’re going to tap, but in competition or a fight, they’re not going to tap necessarily. “I felt like I shot the choke too deep, like it was too deep and it was more of a crank than a blood choke. He has a muscular upper body but his neck wasn’t really that thick.” Usually, a lot of muscular guys are easier to choke out because they have bigger necks and stuff like that, but Abel Trujillo was a weird, funny build kind of. Honestly, it’s weird because my arms are so long. “The knee helped, that’s for sure, because he was rocked pretty bad. Did you make an adjustment, or was it the knee that aided the ending? I believe in the system I have, I just believe that I got caught.” UFC Houston saw Abel Trujillo spend almost half of the 2nd round in a D’arce following an emphatic flying knee, you finished with a D’arce in the third. Obviously, we’ve all got holes we need to fix… After that fight, a lot of people asked if I should change this or change that. It was more of what he did right, than what I did wrong. I got hit on the ground several times, and I was never able to recover. I felt like that wasn’t the issue when I got there, it was the ground and pound. He timed a counter punch, right off of a head kick, and just landed with a perfectly timed shot. It’s not worth it.” Experiencing first loss at UFC 199 to Top-10 lightweight Beneil Dariush: So, I have no interest in fighting overseas anymore. I could have literally taken the greatest vacation in the world to Australia, and did whatever I wanted to with 20-extra thousand dollars. They took literally $20,000 of my money, and I never got any of it back. I really don’t, after the way Australia taxes were. I definitely don’t want to fight in any other countries. Yeah, it was horrible.” Not interested in fighting outside of the United States of America: Yeah, I didn’t get any of it back, didn’t get none of it back. It was amazing, until they hit me with that Australian tax, and then that wasn’t too cool.” Uncle Sam is known to get his, but how steep was the Australian tax? I got to just go see the world for the first time like that. I got the bonus, and then I stayed an extra week and went and saw The Great Barrier Reef. “That was probably the greatest highlight of my whole career, and the greatest night of my life when I won that fight. I basically cut the bullsh-t, and go straight to stuff that works for my body type, and it’s worked out great for me.”Įarning a Performance of the Night bonus by choking out Jake Matthews at UFC Australia: I have a lot of catching up to do compared to guys who have trained for years. I don’t really drill or practice a bunch of moves it’s really pointless for me. I just do tons of reps from different angles, and have different set-ups. I have a system, me and my coaches, Master Lloyd Irvin, my Jiu-Jitsu coach back home Master Sina Hadad. I set them up from many different places. “Well, I have a whole choke series, a bunch of chokes my Guillotine, D’arce, Anaconda. He was a 3-time college All American that’s embarrassing, the fact that I could take him down, but it just shows you how I’m much more mentally strong, compared to these guys I’m fighting.” Cutting the ‘BS’ to find an affinity for front chokes: I took him down I shouldn’t be taking down a 3-time NAIA All American wrestler, when I never wrestled a day in high school, or anything, my whole life. Realistically, I shouldn’t be beating that guy. For example, my last fight, I feel like I broke Abel Trujillo. I feel like I break a lot of these guys, no matter how many years of training they have. “I believe I’m mentally stronger than some of these guys. I don’t have a bunch of extracurricular activities.” The secret to success- Part 2: Literally, I live, sleep, and breathe fighting. Every now and then I play basketball or something.
