So far, I've been to these sparring events three times. Pretty even matches with family and friends there to show support.
Rico runs a good environment at R-1 and fills the void for a place where amatuer MMA fighters can get some experience.
The rules are very conducive to keep the sparring matches as a learning experience: TKO, Submission or Draw.
Thanks for the commentary, Glen!
Will the fame 'sucre oso' be competing?
If only the Sucre had stepped up to the plate. He did compete in a prior open sparring event. Many spectators were hugely impressed by the prowess he displayed in his first and last minute. Seriously. He lost, but he made a good showing against a much more experienced opponent. Sucre Oso later brushed away the praise by claiming he got into the ring as an afterthought as he was winding up a long partying binge from the night before.
Management at R1 says Sucre is always welcome in the ring as long as he signs a waiver releasing them from liability for any injury (or heart attack) he might suffer from competing in a cocaine-fueled state of excitement.
i heard that the baby shark was on his way back down? - any word?
Baby Shark is coming back? I had not heard that, but I will try to find out. His last known fight is preserved for posterity at www.FightVOD.com . It would be great to see him in the ring again.
