Great work. Full guard was a death sentence.

You could tell the brown belt has watched a few of Toms matches. He wanted nothing to do with Tom pulling guard lol
Carbone is a beast, nice guard. Congratulations :)
First off, congrats on the wins Tom. Solid work big fella.
Zog, your cornering is outstanding, bro. Really calm, easy-to-follow instruction. The two of you work well together. Hats off.
Tom, what's your height and weight, both day of and walking around?
YES! Epic win!
Thanks brotha, I have that type of relationship with all my competitors and fighters when they compete. Its a practiced skill just like everything else.Quote:

You can hear his coaching is actual coaching. Not the typical "go get him, come on man!" useless jabber.Quote:

Agree with the coaching comment. Top notch. It takes some practice on your end to respond to it as well. Respect to both of you on that front. Someone could probably scream at me with a megaphone and I wouldn't respond as well.
You're a big kid! I walk around at 6'5" around 235-239 lbs. of out of shapeness. I'm trying to get where you're at! Being almost 300 in dog years makes it tougher.
Love the big man game, dude. Keep grindin'.
