    You were second only to a PROFESSIONAL MMA FIGHTER! That's not nothing! I suspected that Jeff Chan would win the competition, but I had ZERO idea of who else would make it on the podium, and I was extremely proud to see you get the silver medal. With that said, I'm a competitive dude that hates losing, so I can understand why you're so hard on yourself, even though I respectfully disagree with the "loser" label. Still, USDC is one of the best events I've ever seen on this platform, so I'm glad your overall experience was a positive one.

    After seeing how Jeff evaded Rokas by rolling out of all of the arm bars and wrist locks, he is completely comfortable waiting for you to screw up your grapple from any direction. He never breaks composure.

    Just barely losing to a professional fighter that fought in frickin' ONE FC??? Brother, you realise the only reason you felt that type of way is because you had a VERY legitimate chance and nearly WON against someone who fought at arguably the top level of martial arts, right? ONE, as a whole, take the grappling away (where Jeff is obv a stud) and it's just as if not more elite than the UFC. Who doesn't spar regularly with Jeff and is able to stuff his takedown like you did? I haven't seen it. 1A and 1B in that competition was you guys. There was just 1 belt, arguable decision making process (no shade, just that it was clearly not based on rules set in stone). Off by a second, can't ask you not to be both sad and angry about it. It sucks. All that aside, you're an incredible athlete, inspiring to 100s of thousands of people out there. Many more that would love all you're about are yet to discover your channel. Much more out there for you to conquer. I've been entertained and educated by you and Mike over the last 3-4 years, but especially the past 18 months of nursing injuries myself, your content is sth I look forward to and hypes me up for a future where I can do those things again myself. You have a positive impact on people around the world every day. 💐💐💐💐
    PS: You better be joining season 3! With Mike in your corner, if not participating (that knee of his locking up on the bus - I felt that 😅). With you this upset I am confident that you'll consider it 👊

    I really love how you strategized through out the entire competition. The head kick on the bus and the punch right out of the door are both amazing. Hopefully you will be a part of season 3 in any manner. I also don't get how this isn't being picked up by a TV network. This is like myth busters for martial arts and self-defense.

    1. Seth is a good advert for breadth of attacks (constantly unpredictable) also strength and size, 2. Jeff is a great advert for MMA fundamentals (constantly predictable but he does what he has done every day for years and years - the sheer efficiency of his double leg!) 3. Mike and Seth legit need to do an upkick exploration video. Great stuff

  • @Antioche
    @Antioche 6 месяцев назад +2

    Dude, that entire show was super cool. SO glad I found all of ya to follow through Season one.
    Your best line? "I'm competitive when I win, but if I lose I'm like "Ah, nah whatever." ...Man I spit coffee on my keyboard!!
    The most disheartening thing about the show? Was the reality of the (third?) no-retreat scenario. *Open your eyes, knife to the throat* ..It sucks to think that at that moment? My BEST option is to give them my money, & hope they aren't into cold blooded murder.
    Oh, that & the knowledge that all my hours of self defense training & work on disarming a knife wielding opponent are SO situational in effectiveness. The number of sewing machine marker strikes on everyone was a shock, & a wake up call.
    Strength & Honor from the Greatland Seth.

    Commiserations on the narrow loss. But it's obvious you're one heck of a talent and competitor.
    You said you won't compete for Series 2, but it would have been great to see you and others from Series 1 appear again to provide problems for the new contestants. Like a "Rival Team" kind of idea. Of course that would also be expensive to fly out an accommodate everyone extra, but just throwing the idea out there.

It's the same for the other competitors I know, but I also feel like if everyone was going full blast you would've came out on top convincingly. I hope you can feel proud of this amazing series you helped create, and how much entertainment and happiness you brought the viewers.

    You did incredibly well don't beat yourself up too much about not winning it just means you really cared.

It was pretty surreal to see exactly where you guys were, I can see why you guys all sprinted to the tree as soon as you got outside as the tree wasn't that far from the exit.

    Seth man, I really think you proved a lot with this series. Jeff Chan is a human wrecking ball, it's no shame to lose to him, but for a huge chunk of the challenge I really thought you were going to get that belt. That combination of Karate and Sumo was working really well. Mike was his usual wild self, and it was sad that Ramsey arrived burnt out with covid and jet lag, but the USDC has been hands down one of the things I've been entertained by most recently.

    • @Alkis05

      I would say rokas is the real surprise of this whole thing. It is amazing how much he progressed. Also a advert for MMA on how much a difference even a couple of years can make. Of course, he has the advantage of being tall, but considering he is probably the greenest of them all, he did pretty good.

    • @naughtybynature999

      Am I the only one who's been annoyed by Ramsey's response to the season online? He's been making a list of excuses for why he didn't do as well as he thought he would. It started off with the knee, covid, then jetlag, then he's talking about how his vision was messed up, they didnt explain the rules properly to him, Rokas was favored that's why he got more points, and that the Western Combative guys were biased against him, they judged his fights wrong. Respect all these guys for everything they put out, but Ramsey just turned out to be a hater; even lightweight mocking icy Mike in his review smdh.
