A round with Shinya Aoki @HQ during Metamoris week.

Any day you go for 10 mins with Shinya and don't get tapped a dozen times - is a good day. Btw, awesome mount escapes! Seen Shinya use those grapevine-like mount in PRIDE and ONE FC numerous times, and he usually DESTROYS with it.

Thank you!! The one thing I was happy he didn't do was strike. Add in strikes and I could see how any person will fall prey to his wrath! I was telling my buddy that I felt like I got hit by a truck after that roll.

Isaac, hi! Thanks for the reply. I think his game plan for the week was to keep top position. Watching metamoris w him and Kron, I see he did try to do the same.

Great roll...would've liked to have seen Shinya try to move a little more though haha

I have watched this several times and the whole roll seems really strange it seems like he was content to just hold you there not making effort to advance or attack. Even when in side control and mount when you were settled down. Anyway he is a beast congrats on getting to roll with him.

I learned to defend and escape way before I learned to attack. Problem was I could not attack cause he literally shut me down. Combination of being stronger than me and just outright, out-teching me.

Thank you. I was hoping to see what his RG was like, but Eddie had just introduced me to him as the guy that likes to get put into RG. So he stuck to his guns and owned top position.

Great job Slick Rick! I cant imagine how stron aoki must feel on top. Great job keeting those butterflys sticky!

I was wondering, did the meathook feel available to you at all? I know his head and arm contol must have been unreal.

Great mount escapes!
