I really liked that transition from half to the 50/50. Nokes gotta know to protect that inside heal or at least drop some bombs there...that inside heal hook is straight nasty to get caught in.
I was so pumped to see the 50/50 in MMA. Ryan Hall has talked about how it has many applications for MMA, but there just aren't that many people adept at it yet. Was cool as hellsinki!
That was a beautiful entry and finish. Noke was definitely out of his element it seemed, pushing forward in the 50/50 coming on top, leaving his heel up and exposed. Not sure he knew how dangerous of a situation he was in.
ouch!
Leglocks are some of the most devestating submissions for MMA and no-gi grappling. As people learn more about lower half submission fighting and leg control positions we should start to see some really cool stuff.
evolution baby
I kinda hope traditional schools keep avoiding the Leg Locks so new MMA fighters have some kinda chance against these 10 to 15 year black belts that keep flying over from brazil.
People seem to injure themselves a lot with improper defense, and seem to not know when they are in trouble more and more lately.
I was trying to find a .gif of Herman's 50/50 entry but couldn't come up with one. I'll make a breakdown/gif/loop (à la JasonPlanet) if nothing pops up on the interweb today.

That little gramby spin he did after his half guard was passed was beautiful.
I love seeing "old" stuff from the JJ world make it's debut on the big stage of MMA.Quote:

So what I'm getting at is that JJ needs to keep being unpredictable. Guys need to start going for japanese neckties, trucks, samurai's, and the other 100+ moves that no gi has.Quote:

This is basically the "Backdoor Spin to 50/50" from deep half guard that Ryan Hall shows on his 50/50 dvd. Amazing execution.
very nice, i guess all sport jits guards including x can be used in mma, perfect 50/50
That was beautiful. Ed has evolved into a sub machine. What should Kyle have done?
If it was me I would of probably....Quote:

C.) Dropped bombs on his face and hope for the best.
Watching it back...it also looked like Kyle had an opportunity for an outside toe hold while he was standing or probably should of stayed heavy on that front foot and tried to pass standing (working\pushing Eds legs lower and lower until they were below his knee.)
I see a point in the video where Ed is rolling to the 50/50 and it looks as if Kyle was turning away from the leg lock attempt. I think if he may have been able to turn and donkey kick out maybe.
yep...that's what I saw too Mike...that's what i meant by sprinters stance...Quote:
