back from the dead. rants about current M3 situation.

Hello everyone. I'm glad to be back. Was out of internet sight, but not outtasight in real life.

I've recently heard of all the crud going on with M3. It's just laughable, the level of wackness(for lack of a better word) that is going on. I mean to force Eddie into a nogi match where he must wear gi pants and Royler gets to pull and tug at them? On the flipside, Royler gets to wear shorts and Eddie can't grab at them. So much for a NoGi match.

What ever happened to:
EB: Hey let's do a NoGi match?
RG: Okay cool.
EB: Ref, set the timer for 20 mins. NoGi rules!


Anyhow, I just wanna see a good, respectable NoGi match between the 2, and the winner wins outright without any asterisks behind their 'W'. Make it ADCC style rules just like the first time.

Peace y'all!
Slick

I used to be all about the rashguards and spats etc, but nowadays I won't wear them. Maybe a rashguard sometimes, but not rash tights. I realized how ridiculous I looked pretty much head to toe in lycra. For combat. Gi trousers and a t-shirt/no shirt for me nowadays. Fair play to those that can pull it off. :)

Agree though 100%.

Hope Royler doesn't back out/get an injury. Eddie is gonna take his arm home. Wont be a triangle this time. :)

It's a ridiculous situation. I hope the fans see this for what it is. I know Royler is a legend and all that. Everyone's been saying if he loses, it doesn't matter. He's still a legend. But for this stunt, especially if any pants grabbing contributes to a possible win, I feel like it's going to tarnish his legacy. Personally, I was never a huge fan of his, but I respected him. But I've lost respect over this stunt.

I wear spats and I DGAF how it looks. It's for function, not fashioon, in my books.

I always find I get my toes tangled up in Gi pants or shorts that are too big. (I have two pair of Melee 34" waist shorts that I can't wear rolling because it's like wearing a tarp now that I have lost weight, so I only use them for lifting now)

Welcome back Slick!

well if I walked round day to day in spats I might consider wearing them again. However gi trousers are much closer to my regular clothing. If I got into an unavoidable streetfight I don't want to be laying there wishing I had my spats on.

lol

Unless you are competing in spats there is pretty much zero reason for choosing them over gi trousers. For similar reasons that Eddie decided to drop the gi. Why train in spats then compete in shorts or trousers? And If you don't compete and you train for self defence etc for example (like I do) then surely wearing as close to what I regularly wear would be the most beneficial for me.
Just my opinion.

WTF.. Whats this?? Who`s making this demand?

To be fair I find spats (Scramble, Origin, and other Sublimated Lycra Brands) aren't good for gripping, but they are great for passing, and pulling your leg out of a submission. Cotton "tights" are great for gripping and really have no drawbacks in my mind. Gi Pants, are cool for the winter in my opinion as that shit gets hot as fuck in the summer, and the grip is insane on those things.

Personally I think tights/spats are lame, but to each their own.

Royler threatened Eddie with legal action if he didn't wear gi trousers.
It even feels ridiculous typing it out. :)

I agree 100%. This is why I train in shorts and t-shirt almost all the time. (If I didn't live where it's 100 degrees for 9 months outta the year then maybe gi pants) but I wear shorts and t shirt for like 9 months a year, so

Back to the main topic. Who would want rules that are not equal on both sides? A coward. May be inappropriate for me to disrespect a legend, but that is a cowardly move, period.

So this is real? Like really for real? Because when I heard this rumour I laughed at how silly it sounded.
But it's really happening, Royler is really bitching out like this?... Really?

Basically (from what I hear) Roylers attorney insists that Royler wears shorts and Eddie cannot grab them, and Eddie MUST wear gi britches (for you bmac) and Royler CAN grab and tug and control and whatever else he pleases with them. If this is all rumors then that's one thing, but it's coming from multiple reputable sources now... So.. Also if it turns out to be false I will whole heartedly take back my previous comments about Mr. Gracie. But again, pretty sure that's the realio dealio.

I 100% agree with you Slick Rick... especially since Royler is a 7th degree fucking Black Belt and part of the most relevant family in the history of Martial Arts.

Just show up and Fight... skip the bullshit.

The page isn't showing up for me! :(

I also think the more we talk about it the more stir we're creating in the system. Fuck it, if eddies wearing pants he's gonna fuck him up wearing pants, if eddies wearing shorts he'll fuck him up in shorts, Whats done is done and the more we keep perpetuating it on the forum of how outrageous it is the more media he's getting on it, the more its on eddies mind. I say fuck the uniform, all that matters is that eddies gonna throw down and whoop that ass. PorCaralho

+1

This is outrageous!!! Legal action? Was there a clause in the contract? I dot get it, why does Eddie have to wear them and Royler doesn't? I just don't get it you should get to wear what you want, nogi is nogi

Hey guys thank you. I'm glad to be back. Yeah as for the Royler thing, it's just ridiculous if you ask me. I know for one that if the rules of the match were posted prior to buying the ticket, I and many other people(10th Planet or not) would have boycotted this event. 700 tix sold in 4 hours is pretty cool! I can't think of any match on the card that would have made people buy these tickets in the fashion we did, other than Eddie vs. Royler. Peace out!

Well said John. I'm sure metamoris is using this to hype up the event even more. More money in their pockets.

It's great seeing 10th Planet on the Metamoris page letting them know how bullshit this is.
