Sorry it took so long, you wouldn't believe the issues my computer has had in the past couple days.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Fergus is wearing Red and White briefs, he's got a left leaning mohawk, a goatee and his light gloves are candy apple red. He weighs 250 lbs and is 6'3" tall. His body is very lean, rather than overtly muscular. I need this information for mental image reasons.

Edit: Also, after this Fergus will probably become a mainstay. Might have him learn some kind of pseudomagic to compensate for the difference in ability.

Double Edit: We going for conventional rules or is this an anything goes except for dickshots and biting?

[Skallagrim]

Standard MMA match.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Alright cool, gotta brush up on the rules a bit. Don't wanna accidentally get ya with an illegal blow.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Just pinging to see if you're still with me, I've got no metric on whether you've vanished or are just looming silently.

[Skallagrim]

I am here. My son was sick is all. He is better now so i will resume my posting. Sorry.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Oh gosh I'm sorry, what'd he catch? I always worry about kids, makes me think of my nieces and if they ever get hurt or sick. Worries me to death.

[Skallagrim]

Just a cold but he couldn't sleep and his nose was full of snot so it was bothersome to him.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Colds are the worst, but at least they're over quick(ish).

[Skallagrim]

Sooo you're stepping into a right cross? Is that correct?

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Yes.

[Skallagrim]

Ok

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
I'll be frank, I was not expecting you to go for exactly what I thought you were gonna go for. I had to think of five different other possibilities just in case.

[Skallagrim]

Good. That means you see what I am setting you up for.

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
I at least see one step, probably not the rest.

I'll be home in four and a half hours, I'll post then.

[Skallagrim]

Well. Think about it. There are a limited number of options you have. Extend each one out. If you counter how will I respond? What is the easiest and which requires more set up. If I choose easiest what can I do? If zi choose the more difficult what am I setting up?

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
Well it looks like you're going for a takedown and full mount, using the window after the uppercut to get the upper hand and secure a victory.

But, at the same time you wouldn't leave yourself as open as you did to a guillotine choke(Though an inverted one.), which with the position both of them are in you're totally exposed to.

So I'm left at a loss. You wouldn't have willingly left yourself open without compensating for potential replies.

[Skallagrim]

Guillotine choke. Lol. Go ahead and try it. I had already factored you seeing that out. That is a bait move. If you see an easy move in a realistic fight it is because your opponent wants you to take it. If you do the guillotine there are a few components required. How could I defend and turn it to my favor?

[LeeRoy]

@Skallagrim
I'd have control over your head but you'd have control over my legs. You could pick me up and then slam, the choke would break and you'd have achieved your tackle and mount. The choke would amount to nothing other than a point on the score card really. And since there's no card it wouldn't even matter then.

Though on the reverse I could take the choke into a full slam of my own. Dropping Fergus' weight backwards and pinning your head down. Problem is, his entire stomach and chest would be totally exposed to a beating.
