    the kid is being pushed waaay too hard by his dad, he's afraid of letting him down so he's under a ton of pressure, and when he talks I imagine there his dads words coming out of his mouth, like "I gotta keep my hands up, if I get hit it's my own fault". Can't imagine that will end up too well!

    He's clearly got skills out his ass... but he should stop all that boxing crap : P he needs to be sparring progressively in pure MMA if he's gona be an MMA fighter! methinks his dad would just love him to make the US Olympic team much more so than an MMA fighter... he'll make a nice amateur FW if he's 5'2'' at 13.... or MMA 155er in 6 years time lookin at his dads height.

    World FW JJ Champ/kick ass 155 lb MMA fighter beats FW Olympic Gold any day in my book ; )

    I've seen a few MMA prodigies like this.
    The worry is though, with all the competitions and fights at those ages, he might burn out by the time he's old enough to fight at any major level.

    Are you saying BJJ world champ is better than being Olympic Boxing champ?
    If you are the that is just silly-Boxing Olympic Gold is 1 of the most prestigious medals in sport.

    Not saying either is harder that each other I'm talking about prestige, not near close.
