I didn't say people referring to MB, because I haven't talked to anyone who is in video on their website outside Coop. I wasn't talking shit on MG at all, I don't think I've ever seen a negative comment about MG or MB. Coop himself was ecstatic about training with MB, you could tell by how much he was smiling and his Facebook comments after. I doubt Coop is upset that the video got posted because of his personality, but as a fan of his I am upset that people draw conclusions without knowing the facts of the roll. (Coop being injured, not knowing about the video being released, etc)

We ain't mad at ya, brother. :) We all have our fan boy moments.

lol. It'll get worse as the Coop vs Hall fight draws closer and Lovato vs Galvao.

I might have to retire from the interwebz to keep myself from starting e-battles.

So do you info that the video was shot without Cooper knowing? You are not really coming across clearly in your posts

I think if Rafa had Bills mentality and competed against guys like Cavaca, Cyborg, etc he would be my favorite jiujitsu guy of all time. But as it stands I am a Coop fanboy lol

I agree Gray. It would be too awesome to see him go in abs division. And yes, I am a big fan of Coopers! He's such a fluid grappler.

He's one of the best Americans of all time. Amazing grappler. Bill was hurt here too I think, so I think comparing what others would have or wouldn't have done is a little silly. It's just a rolling session.

I know Bill. Was talkin bout Jason Manly. Viewing on my phone didnt give me a vid title.

Dont click that. I need a tech guy..

Ah the Jason Manly one my bad. Yeah I asked Rafa about the NS choke and he doesn't really use it. Isn't a big fan of it. Interesting. Yeah MG would have been all over that.

I heard that Rafa did pretty well with Buchecha when he came by too ;-)

Rafa and MG would be nice to see....
