This is a striking drill to deal with/counter having your back against the wall.

 

My prediction: Rory MacDonald will be the one to beat GSP.

Another prediction: Griffin will beat Rua again.

Rory McDonald and Jon Jones are the new gods of UFC.

 

Ok. Well, Fedor, unless he drops to 185 or at least 205 is done. Period. I hate to say it. But that is reality.
Rahni Yaya - I do not see him ever being a force. Teaching these high level jits people to learn how to wrestle is damn near impossible. It requires such a mental shift that it is almost mind blowing.
Tito - good try. Good night. Take one more fight and retire dude.

 

Every jujitsu dojo I have been in has a LOT of wrestling. They usually have specific classes or days where they ONLY go over wrestling even. Wrestling is also extremely important in No-Gi tournaments, those points you get for a takedown are crucial, good wrestlers win all the time (Not as much in gi, because wrestling becomes much less effective, although its still pretty important). A good 25% of the people I met at jujitsu dojo's also come from a wrestling background, having done it in highschool.

Maybe in brazil or w/e its different but from what I've seen no one really learns jujitsu purely, they simply learn GRAPPLING. I have no idea why that bjj guy has bad takedowns, I don't think its that common either people like Maia(took down and quickly subbed sonnen) and Jacare(strike force champ, REALLY good) have awesome takedowns and often dominate their opponent.


Also I can't believe ebersol lost considering he took the guys back in the first like 10 seconds. It was pretty early stoppage too, your supposed to have a COUPLE unresponded strikes... Especially when its from guard.

I think Jones will have a much tougher time with Rampage than Rashad because of Rampage's awesome takedown defense but he will still probably beat them both. Also Griff will most likely win.

 

Ebersol won on Saturday. Hallman was knocked out by the ground and pound elbow strike. Fight ended right there. I thought that was great reffing.

 

Oh my bad got there names swapped. I would have just liked one or two seconds wait is all, better closure... it wasn't a bad call but not my ideal one.

 

Hardy BUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Thank you Lytle. You are the embodiment of "do work."

 

Lytle vs Hardy was an awesome fight!
Is Hardy getting kicked out of the UFC now? Its his forth loss in a row... Hes pretty awesome to watch so I wouldn't mind him staying.

 

Nope, he stays.

 

I hope Hardy stays as long as he wants. He sure adds to the UFC. Ever since he fought GSP for the title and met L_A in a grocery store in LA, I've found respect for the man.

Lytle vs. Hardy was awesome. All those fights were pretty damn awesome. Ben Henderson looks good as does Cerrone.

Fucking Hardy with his "ENNGLLLAAND!" to the camera = bwaahahahahahha YEAH! Way to hype the crowd, man.

 

Yeah, but he needs to get his shit together. If he looses the same way again, he is done.

 

ya he needs to get some wins under his belt. He seems talented though I think he has potential. He lost but he didn't lose THAT badly.

 

Dopey's half butterfly guard sweep.

 

part of a strength and conditioning circuit

 

so is it safe to say that no one can beat him? Not that I was pinning any hope on Okami but still...

 

I would give Mousasi a chance.

 

Anderson Silva vs Tony Jaa (a.k.a Jaa Panom)

That's the last hope.

 

Nothing is sacred to you. No post. No subject. Nothing.

 

LOL. Kind of like Aids...
Anderson Silva and Ali comparison. The anchor punch

 

Daniel Cormier is the shit!! Holy hell. Man, the GP over the weekend was awesome.
I am sad about Jacare, he fought like shit.
