Keenan deserves this opportunity and if he were able to catch Victor it would be HUGE for him.

Keenan did horrible at Copa Podio by the way. Got smashed by nearly everyone there. I think they respected his game enough to give him the opportunity but against Rodolfo and Xande I think everyone knew the outcome.

are you serious? he's a brown belt who went up against not just dudes with much more experience than him, but guys who are legends at the top of the world of black belt jiujitsu.

Yea, got smashed by Xande and Rodolfo (lost on points, not even bad). Clearly horrible. lol.
Rodolfo sucked ass at the Worlds, did you see him lose in the finals to Buchecha? Who loses to Buchecha?

ANYWAY..
I bet he does very well against Victor.

Yeah but he got smashed by high level black belts by points. Not once was he in danger of any subs.

I thought Cooper failed to file some sort of paper work..Was it really because of that tweet?

I'm glad everyone's sort of coming to my defense about the Copa Podio comment haha. Keenan may not beat Victor, but he's a live underdog for sure.

It's not like Schuab and Cyborg, which I expect to be a mismatch despite Schuab's athleticism. I'm pretty sure Cyborg will get into his head, too considering he was touted to smash Big Nog in Brazil and got KTFO. Not sure if that was mental, but it very well could have been and if that's the case, Cyborg's already won.

Since when is placing first in your division and second in the absolute in the adult black belt level against the clear top ultra heavyweight considered a horrible performance? Rodolfo had an amazing showing after taking a year off. This will be a good experience for Keenan, I feel it will be a Copa Podia situation where it shows him where he is at and will cause him only improve his game. You either win or you learn.

I worked a 12 hour day today. Yeah, fail on my part. I am just gonna go off and apologize I am not out to patronize people or pretend like Keenan isn't a bad mother fucker, because he has proved over and over again he is. I think Victor is gonna present a tough test.

It'll be an interesting test for sure. No worries though. I think there needs to be a sarcasm font to avoid all confusion.

Is this gi or no gi?
