Congrats to DENNY and JAKE! What a grind.
Ouch that Heel Hook from Pallhares, Interesting entry and he almost had an x break type control on the torso. I noticed in his entry he pulled the leg in under the knee which reminded me of Zogs entry to the clamp/wedge. I havent seen that X control before.
Yeah def looked Zogish, he is watchin Coaches YouTube :cool:
That was ridiculous. Paul Harris was looking right at the ref and still cranking it. I knew he was either going to win big or lose big. Good win against a tough guy. I just hope Pierce is ok. Knee injuries are no joke.Quote:

Seems like Paul Harris likes to hold on to submissions, then act like his opponent is being an asshole for not giving him a hug after the match...

Thats what I expected him to do. He almost froze the first time Palhares dropped down for the heel hook. I was terrified for him.Quote:

Shields with the twister pass attempt.
Shields has his hands all over the ground, if only Maia had a guard attack that took advantage of this...
Shields has Great reversals, and more twister side.
I seen denny in jakes corner nice
Attachment 2343 denny
Shields looks tired this round.
Jake looked good
But in brasil you need a k.o or a submission
Way to go jake
I didn't think jake won that fight...Denny and jake better get out of town fast.
Well I could have lived without watching that card...A couple good ones but ehQuote:

Do you think he does that shit to his training partners?
Impossible, he would have no training partners left. Chute boxe showed the world you can't train like that..Quote:

I honestly think Paul Harris is mentally retarded...the dan miller fight where he climbed the cage, when he hurt that guy in adcc, and tonight? Wtf man lolQuote:

Perfect! Im so glad to hear that. Good move Dana!Quote:

Palhares is just going to loose fans with his conduct. It's not the first time he holds on for too long. Kind of reminds me of Royce in that respect, actually. lol
I see what you did there...Quote:

But should Mike Pierce be talking crap about a guy that is known for jacking legs, no that would be unsportsmanlike. It is a fight and if Paulhares wanted to send a message to the other fighters: Don't take me lightly.Quote:

This sport is too macho for dudes to just say they wont fight Pallhares but something needs to be done. I blame the reff, Russimar and the UFC since this clearly isnt the first time this kinda thing has happened.
Was it cool when Dan Henderson jumped on Bisping after the KO (sorta) but these kinds of unsportsmanlike conduct make the whole organization look bad. If they would show PPV of underground blood sport with fights to the death or KO, I might watch it, but thats not the UFC. There are rules, Russimar, this isnt Nam.
P.S. Nathan and I tried out that entry to the heel hook / finish, that shit is tight. No way they can counter heel hook you if you use the belcher techniques and extend your legs like and x break.
Think you meant Dan Henderson my brother
Dana should give the sub of the night bonus to Pierce to get thru knee surgery
I think Rousimar just joined the same shit list as Paul Daley
He is fucking his career up with that shit. I mean he has done it twice in the ufc now, twice on the local circuit, plus he done it in adcc too. You couldn't blame the guys in that division for saying 'I don't want to fight him, he has a track record' etc etc.Quote:

Thank you guys! I'm super happy that Jake won. Demian is very good and it's a big victory for Jake. It was a very technical match and I defiantly think that Jake proved that without a doubt he is one of the top Jiu Jitsu/ grapplers in the MMA.
Huge congrats to jake and Denny!
Looked to me like Pierce was trying to avoid the grappling. Palhares was just bulldozing into the clinch.Quote:

A lot of bad decisions.
I gave TJ Dillashaw the decision over Assuncao.
I scored 4 rounds for Maia.
I fast forwarded through the Maldonado/Beltran match.
I still can't get over how fat Thiago Silva looked.
On the positive side:
I most enjoyed watching Yan Cabral's match.
The Chris Cariaso and Santos fight was getting good, but was possible stopped too early.
A few good knockouts: Don Hyun Kim & Alan Patrick
And Toquinho, he is who we think he is.
Using the same entry to the same submission.
Holding on way too long, time after time.
