Finally got that ADCC Gold! I actually think Cobrinha has the better no-gi pedigree.Quote:

-------------------------------------------
I watched most of the matches from yesterday besides the absolutes and some from the first day, anyway some thoughts
The finals matches were not good, I guess you can't pull in the finals? Made the matches really bad wrestling and judo matches, I really was looking forward to some amazing ground work and didn't get it in the finals
If you train you need to learn heel hooks, so many matches ended by them
Big Rafa fan, but against Cobrinha he plays it to safe, Cobrinha imposed his will more and probably should have won earlier but didn't get takedown points
Joao Miyao dominanted the action and pace against Radar and lost because of the guard pulls, Radar did nothing but defend and disengage while Miyao almost had his back multiple times
Keenan should have beat Barral, but I believe he lost with a guard pull, Keenan is a beast
Galvao may be the best No Gi right now, amazing match with Estima
Kron is a straight killer, all sub wins, Souza wanted nothing to do with him and the guillotine waa so fast after Souza finally did something, would have loved to see Kron do the absolute
I will post some more later after I get to watch some absolute matches if I find some
Oh, the set up was an embarrassment, the mats splitting, guys falling in the hardwood, no crowd, was not what this event should be IMO, looks like they mailed it in
Buchecha looked gassed in the absolute final, Cyborg got some takedowns, passed easily multiple times, when Buchecha did shoot Cybrog stuffed him easily, great win for Cyborg

Any of Rafa's fights?
That's all I could find for now :)
Rafa's first round fight with Takahito is on Bjjfights.com but its not youtube so I cant throw it up here
Cyborg wins the whole thing! Awesome. He is one of my favorite guys.

Glad to see Kron finally win a World Championship... by submitting ALL 4 of his opponents!
I mean I know I wouldn't be happy if I spent the past 2 years training for that moment and came up short. LolQuote:

People don't like there game, but my favorite match was Joao Miyao vs Radar
Miyao controlled all the action, Radar was just defending and disengaging the whole time, won from negative guard pulls, Miyao almost had his back a couple times
The negatives for pulling guard ruined the finals matches IMO

Yeah, that's hell to defend, as soon as you touch a Miyao they are spinning on you, lolQuote:
