What was the last lesson you learned via a punch to the face?

12 comments

1. Be more aggressive or more aware, to avoid future punches to the face

2. If they are two, you are alone, it is dark and no cameras, just walk.

3. I’ve never actually been in a fight. Not sure what that says about me.

4. Never make fun of a kid with special needs. It happened when I was in 7th grade. Yes, I was an AH, yes I deserved it, and yes I have changed in the subsequent 40 or so years. It was a great lesson TBH. I probably deserved more than a bloody nose and lip.

5. I cut 30 lbs in 30 days for a fight. Got rocked at the end of the 1as round.

   I do not cut weight anymore

6. Everything is in reverse when you fight a southpaw.

7. Two lessons:
   1) getting punched I the face sucks
   2) 35 is not a good age at which to start an MMA career

8. Keeping your hands up is important.

9. Don’t leave your lead hand extended after throwing a jab.

10. A punch to the nuts in retaliation is the way to go

11. I’ve never been punched in the face. I’ve never been in a fight actually.

12. Duck, next time
