Say it aint so :)

That was beautiful!

Pettis technique is awesome, on the ground and standing. I hope they do the Pettis vs Aldo fight!

Same here, seems Dana wants to see that fight too. I hope they don't let this superfight slip away. Aldo Pettis would be a monster fight now. :)

Easy for Bendo to defend. As soon as Pettis opened his guard, he just needed to posture and stand. Watch how long his feet were open before going for the sub. GSP would have been out 7 times.

Part of it could have been BH not respecting his game as well. I've learned the hard way, when the stakes are high, you had better respect the other person's game- they may just surprise you.

Still a big BH fan! He ain't going nowhere.

This^

I was laughing my ass off!! Came out in his Kimono had his shorts with the black belt on em. Hair braided up no toothpick...and got submitted...hey maybe he needed to get humbled like that...thats all jiu jitsu....Pettis owns him now that stain is deep on his soul now LOL!

Ben should have never been so comfortable...to just stay in his guard like that. He didn't try to stack and wriggle his locked shoulder through, or any other escape. I almost felt like he gave up as soon as his shoulder was locked. It was a well executed arm bar, even if he had his feet crossed and waited forever to get a deep hook, his transition was tight. Good for Pettis. I was really hoping Ben would win, but it just wasn't his day. Pettis was his one lost, maybe he had bad jitters. I hate it for him.

There were several options Ben could have taken to escape, but he never should have gotten caught to begin with. He wasn't fighting smart. He is an emotional guy and I think he let his emotions get way to involved in this one.

With that being said, great sub.
