I kind of have mixed feelings on the tournament. I put in a lot of time training and working on my cardio and both my matches ended quickly. I subbed the guy in the championship match in like 5 seconds or so once I got the take down. It was awesome feeling but kinda of a that's it feeling too.

Well, at least you're not letting it go to your head. I guess next time the $100+ could be better spent elsewhere; maybe doing something that may offer you a challenge (just kidding, you're the best at everything!)?

I'm not trying to be cocky about it though. Trust me, I'll be the first to say I don't know anything and I'm terrible at grappling, but...

Right.

p.s. Going to class for a month and riding an elliptical doesn't really translate into "a lot of time training", at least, to the rest of us non-amazing people.

I guess what I mean is I was pretty shocked at the results. I was honestly expecting to get my butt kicked or gas out in my matches and my outcomes were far from what I was expecting. I am very grateful I went, I texted you how I feel about it, guy.

Here's a video of my final's match. I haven't seen the others.
 
I don't think you guys realize what an accomplishment this is for Mr. Moses. This was at the world famous UFC Fan Expo and there were 1,200 competitors, including teams from Ukrain, Italy, Brazil, etc.. Archibald took first place. In his first real tournament. And it wasn't even close.

Rep this man, asap.

He probably wasn't nearly as scared as I was. When he was on his back there he was probably wondering if I broke his elbow. Both guys I faced I submitted with a americana and their elbows both snapped hard enough that I could feel and hear them. I was for sure I broke this guys arm though. He said it started to swell and he couldn't move it very well. It's a terrible feeling actually. I hope he's ok because he was a super nice guy as were everyone else I talked to.

I would have been smashed hard if I had been in any other division. I have nightmares about guys like Troutbum and the dudes he faced.
