Here is both sides of the M3 rule change... makes sense, thoughts?

If Royler's lawyer is speaking unbenounced to him (which I think he is not) then Royler should call him on it. Making a statement to that effect. Otherwise its still a bitch move.

Twister this mother fucker, Eddie.

I was just at Naga 3 weeks back for 9 straight hours before Meg even had her first match. I watched more jiu jitsu than even I care too. Several guys wore gi pants in no gi after their gi divisions were up. I didnt see a single guy grab pants the entire day. If there was an unwritten and in this case maybe a written rule...you would think guys would be grabbin pants all day...but in fact it was the opposite...guys assumed you cant grab pants because its no-gi.

I don't disagree with you. I just happened to be reading this thread and the NAGA rules around the same time and found that interesting. I have never considered grabbing somebody's pants though.

Big ups to Eddie for not making a big deal out of any of it

152 vs 165 pounds - isn't that a big advantage for Eddie?

Jiu Jitsu is Jiu Jitsu. I doubt 13lbs is gonna make that much of a difference. Not all of the Metamoris match ups are at a set weight anyways..they made some of them based on it being a good match up/fight. This is THE match up...The advantage for Eddie is 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu IMO.

I've fought plenty of bigger/stronger people..it may seem like an advantage, doesn't mean they will for sure win. Although, I will say with Eddie's killer technique plus him being in the best shape of his life and the extra weight..he's totally got this one in the bag. :-)

No. Slight advantage.

It's a pretty big advantage if you consider that Eddie had to drop a bunch of weight to make 160...err...165 and Royler is trying to put on weight to fight up. Don't forget, when Royler was in his prime, he fought at 145.

Fair enough.

At this point, I just want the fight to happen.
