I just heard a Dana White interview saying that a 16 year old girl who's competent in jiu jitsu could choke you the f*ck out and you wouldn't stand a chance.

Is that really the case? Like against a 30 year old man who is in decent shape, is that possible?

Depends. What ruleset? What's competent, and how well rounded is the girl? What's the weight difference? Does the male have any training? Somebody with zero combat sport training but in decent athletic shape against a girl that's competent will probably get choked out if they're using bjj rules. If the girl only pulls guard, doesn't have good wrestling or takedowns, and hasn't trained any striking might lose against a fit male with some amount of combat sport training in an MMA match.

Thankfully, we weren't dumb enough to gamble on the secondary market for tickets and we'll still have some good father son time.

You can still see Jordi Alba play, maybe :badpokerface:

Go buy a black wing or a z06. The new 911s are no longer the death traps of old and thus lost what makes them so great. At least nothing special until you pay 300k for a lousy GT3 beetle.

That and the 4s versions are wayyy too tame.

Please go to your nearest bjj gym, approach a coach and request to challenge a 16 year old girl in a choking contest, ensure they aren't a white belt. Also request for permission to record it, then post results here.

if he's referring to 16yo, dana white is probably referring to helena crevar, she's like a one in generation prodigy and tourny champ. she was taking on black belts and stuff

I've got an opportunity to get my almost F U money out now but I'm inclined to only take a little bit out and let the rest ride for a few more years. The reality is that I don't really have the time right now to enjoy a new Porsche and I've also seen how painful luxury car taxes are so I think I'd just rather buy used anyways. My wife is also pretty incredulous that I would consider spending $180k on a car

So my thinking now is to just take $25-60k out, buy an older Porsche for the next few years and let the F U money grow bigger to the point where wifey doesn't care what I do with our money.

So what's like a 2006 Boxster like (like this one: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...11%7D%7D%22%7D) or something a bit newer like an early base model 981?

If you can stretch the budget a tad, get a 997.2 C2S. Or 987.2 Cayman S if not.

Both have the traditional porsche charm, but with the modernity that you can still bag on and enjoy daily without worry.

Delaying for another few years only to buy a vacuum powered 992.2 whatever for 200k+ makes no sense to me. Life's short and the depreciation hit of that would easily cover a few 987s in the meantime.

“Fuck you money”

“2006 Boxster”

No no no no

The interview was about what sports you should put your children into and Dana said BJJ is the only sport that will have a life long impact for children. Especially for girls as this will help protect them against men growing up.

Then he said any 16 year old girl who is competent in BJJ would be able to defend herself against a man.

To me this means that in a street fight a 16 year old girl would be able to choke out a grown man and get away.

I know in BJJ weight and strength are usually trumped by technique, but i'm having a hard time thinking a 16 y.o girl could take on a grown man in the street. Maybe if she's a black belt in BJJ, but I have no experience with BJJ at all, so i'm curious. Maybe Dana was just being hyperbolic?

EvoFire 05-24-2024 09:57 AM

I don't think he means that she'll be able to choke a man out, but given a chance where she's not completely knocked out or hurt on the encounter, she'll be a stickler enough that the assaulting side may find it not worthwhile.

It's a good defense against crimes of opportunity. If it's targeted though it will probably be a lot harder.

Hondaracer 05-24-2024 09:58 AM

Dana and Joe Rogan always on some bullshit about “winning a street fight”

Ok I pick up a chair and smash your head in from behind, crazy, you lost the street fight

headhunt3r 05-24-2024 10:50 AM

Eh, the original question was a sport for life long impact, not about street fights. I don't think BJJ is a bad answer.

A lot of grown men w/ fragile egos are going to overthink his comment.

Gumby 05-24-2024 10:55 AM

Any reputable martial arts instructor would tell you that standing your ground to fight is your last option.

PeanutButter 05-24-2024 10:58 AM

I just talked to a co-worker. He said his wife got runner up at provincials in highschool for wrestling.

He said that he's wrestled her before and she can totally take him to the ground. He said she would hook his leg and throw him to the ground. She doesn't know any BJJ, but he said it's not easy to wrestle with her. He did say he can out muscle her on the ground, but he thinks if she knew submissions he would be out of luck.

Hondaracer 05-24-2024 11:34 AM

Not like a fight is anything you’d ever want to actively engage in, but in highschool there were a couple groups that always had beef, and specifically with one or two guys

One of the guys in question was a boxer, I’m sure totally amateur nothing even competitive but he definitely knew how to fight. Watched this guy beat the shit out of guys twice his size with some basic fighting experience.

Definitely an asset either way, and especially for women unfortunately these days

Manic! 05-24-2024 11:57 AM

I think this 16 year old would be able to defend herself vs an average man.

Skill as way more important then size and strength.

This video is a classic. A 150 pound bbj black belt ver a 250 pound body builder who had the title of mr Utah.


headhunt3r 05-24-2024 12:31 PM

While skill is important, size and strength matter enough that all the serious BJJ competitors are all roided up to the gills. Helena is a Danaher prodigy and definitely not your average 16 year old BJJ girl.

Razor Ramon HG 05-24-2024 12:40 PM

This Helena girl looks jacked enough to probably beat the shit out of most of the 16 years in my high school (myself included)

The double ponytail also throws me off because she looks so masculine otherwise, lol

Has anyone used Walmart's curbside pickup service recently?

I'm visiting tomorrow and have an order to pick up. I thought I could just walk in to pick it up, but apparently I have to park my car in a designated pick up zone? Could anyone confirm their recent experience? Thanks.

unit 05-24-2024 01:09 PM

i think that's how it works, you park in the spot, you call or use the app to say you're here and which stall you're in, and someone brings it to your car. it's been a while since i've used it but that's how it works.

bcrdukes 05-24-2024 01:17 PM

Thank you! I had a few people tell me it was a royal pain in the ass and takes forever, but could not verify how recent their experience was.
