I’ve heard a lot of people give examples like Ronda Rousey, Karo Parisyan, Khabib+Makhachev (who weren’t judoka but did train a bit of judo), etc. to say that judoka do really well in MMA. All these fighters were at the absolute pinnacle of both sports, though. do judoka generally perform exceptionally? Do we have any counter examples of judoka who transitioned and fell on their face?
The MMA meta has shifted to favor strikers now that strikers have learned anti-grappling (Van vs Taira is a great example). Shooting for the legs in particular isn’t as good as it used to be (still a core move but not as reliable as it once was) now that strikers can sprawl hard, and getting a striker up against the cage is no longer a guarantee of a takedown. So as a grappler looking to transition into MMA, what takedowns should I focus on? I’ve heard some saying upper-body takedowns like the throws and trips of Islam Makhachev and Ronda Rousey are being redeemed—do y’all think this is true?
the preview for my cover looks fine, but the cover creator keeps telling me my image doesn’t have the right resolution and will look pixelated. Does it issue false alarm warnings? Does the actual printed book look like the preview in the Cover Creator?
Despite there being absolutely no changes in his feeding, within the past 2-3 weeks one of my beardies started losing fat stores and getting skinnier. mind you, this is an already naturally slim and small beardie. I didn’t pay much mind to it at first and simply started feeding him more. but now after all this time with him being fed as much as he’s ever been, he’s still getting skinnier and skinnier. I haven’t the foggiest clue what’s going on.
