I can see the excuses, but right now, that's beyond the point. Good job for competing. Now, what did you learn from this experience in terms of:
1. the quality of these guys vs the ones at the throwdowns
2. The methodology that should be used in training for the ring
3. Him striking your face at will. After watching the tape and reflecting, what was he doing that you weren't catching on to? Or was he just that fast in regards to speed and timing?
4. How effective was your striking, grappling, or the "special something" that your master has taught you? What can you do to hone it so that next time, you break HIS nose with that first strike?
These questions and others can help aid you in training for your next fight, be it in the cage or a ring.
