Edited it for you so the video is actually embeded.
Your a beast scott but you can't beat every black belt you face.;)
Pretty damn good for goin up against a guy that has his own Gracie school.
Considering he had size and weight. Matt also had his blackbelt over a year when this match happen. I'm sure this loss has made you better! We need to get Scott, Red, and Mike Dewitt to represent 10th PlanetJJ in th nogi Worlds in November!!! All three are different weights in the purple belt division. It would put the jiu jitsu community on notice of 10th Planet JJ future dominance!
Arroyo's a great guy. I stayed in Tampa for a week and he was gracious enough to let me train at his gym letting me into his advanced classes and even giving me a glimpse into his competition class. Definitely no shame in that loss. His shoulder pressure from his top game is devastating and he's always hitting the cross face to open you up in mount. Being underneath him or any of his guys is no fun.
I thought you won :)
Dude is a black belt and way bigger than you, there's not much you can do about that until you get your black and rematch, way to go out there and rep Scott, I'm very proud of you :)
Great match Scott, way to rep, that's a big dude !!
as far as no-gi worlds. i'm not sure thats gonna happen this year. I had to cut back on my hours at work to train for my fight tonight, so i have a lot of stuff to caught up on. Plus I got a wedding pay for in july so cash is kinda tough right now. Maybe I can get the future wife to let me do a honeymoon where ever its being held.
Good luck with the fight. Hopefully you get to bring another heel home with you as a souvenir.
