my only succesful berimbolo ever at that point, even in practice. i happened to see a video on here(i forget who pit it up) of the berimbolo from de la riva x earlier that week.
Maybe not my best overall performance, but a couple of things made this cool
1 - I asked this dudes girlfriend to use my camcorder to film the match. I didn't realize it was his chick until after the match
2 - heel hooks are illegal at EGO, so when I went for the position the ref told me no heel hooks, so I had to stop what I was doing and clarify that straight ankle locks were allowed (thus letting opponent know exactly what was about to happen), then subbed him with the ankle lock. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQaPCMyPb2o

My favorite win isn't on video or I haven't found it. Sadness. All my finishes on tape that I know of look pretty sloppy so I am not going to show any of them to you guys. Haha.

Well, this one is one of MY favorite but not the highlight I’d pick to show people because I don’t sub the guy. This is from about a year ago. I win a by something like 13 points against Saulo Ribeiro black belt and head Jiu-Jitsu couch of Roufusport, Omar Choudhury. I learned allot in this match by him surviving allot of my attacks and it’s the match I credit with me finishing many other matches after it (by closing the holes he used to survive my subs).
If you've ever had a hankering for a fat man doing a flyover pass and gogoplata from half guard, here is your chance for satisfaction. I'm not sure about 'favorite', but this is basically the only competition video I could find of myself. I have no idea where the rest of my matches got off to (let me know if you have video of me in competition!).
Anyway, this was fun. I thought the guy said he was a Gracie Barra purple belt (Tim something? Very nice fella.), but it was a long time ago and I've been punched in the head by many fists and beers since. I kept pressuring him off the mat until the ref warned him. As soon as that happened, I knew I could shoot a single. Flyover pass after the restart, but he replaces half guard nicely. Then he underhooks and turns away (usually not a bad idea), and I immediately bring the foot up and clear the head. Gogogogogo!

I'm not a very good rubber guard guy, so I'm pretty happy about this one from Chicago Midwest Submission Challenge about a year ago. This was also the first time I ever hit an armbar from my back. John Meija makes an appearance as the ref!
