This is from the absolute divison in the semi finals. I lost to matt by armbar at the end of the match. I fought hard but lost out on position. Feel free to comment.
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!

That sounds like fun, anyone willing to sponsor us for this would not be disappointed. I know I can't afford another Vegas tournament in November, but if we could get some financial help I could be there!

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.
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
