Just saw a local MMA fight between a judo champ and a wrestler/kick-boxer (who was also the title-holder for the welterweights). Things were not looking good for the judoka, even on the ground, strangely enough. Then out of nowhere, he landed a devastating kick to the gut and followed it with a massive punch, sending the defending champ to ground and winning the fight. No one saw that coming. Just goes to show what assumptions can do to you. I would never have expected the challenger to do something like that when 1. he came from a judo background and 2. he was facing a kick-boxer. And it seems the defending champ didn't expect it either.
