I also had an obsession with tornado kicks lol. I landed a couple in tournaments, but wouldn't throw one in an mma fight. I have sustained one head injury too, when I was around 8-9. I fell off from the desk in the class and landed forehead first on the asphaltish floor but strangly it didn't crack or open up, and as a result I have a bump on my forehead but not too pronounced like Van Damme and not as cool. I was little so... yeah I hope it won't be significant in my later life.

In terms of technicality, Tornado Kicks covers a lot of distance not to mention the speed required to throw the kick. As far as I figured it out, I can steer my opponents into tight spots with it or sneak a back kick with it or vice versa. Need to figure out more after recovering from minor knee injury :)

Good for you man. Most Burmese people here are just catching up and we only got Aung La N'Sang as champe in ONE FC. Maybe if Aung La came to UFC and went successful, we might get an event for sure.. (on a second thought, many foreign fighters might got sick due to... conditions of our country :P )

Combat Sanshou is legit for sure. The way they blend takedowns with strikes is something to be amazed. So, on paper, that Mirked guy shouldn't be dominated like that... maybe his Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling) is weak lol. Fun Fact: His first name is Muslim... sounds real hardcore.

The last time I got hit in the head was when I was holding pads for my friend while drilling and instead of Roundhouse Kick, he threw a Brazilian Kick thanks to miscommunication I guess. Landed square on my chin and got confused for a while... damn. Another time I got really hurt was when I was sparring with a guy who is a head taller and (obv) stronger than me. I parried his punches as usual but I got lazy at one and the body punch (we are in Kyokushin Dojo) became a punch to the jaw and while I wasn't concussed, my lower jaw went quite stiff for a few days.. it sucks.

Fun thoughts: How did Aldo gassed really? His output in previous fights sorta changed too after USADA. Maybe, Brazilian fighters are on something after all. :D
