Cael Sonnen has brought on a Jiu Jitsu coach. Will it be enough?

[Blaine Stevens]

I can't say I've heard much about Vinicius Magalhães. Anyone got any video on the dude? What are your thoughts on this? Will it be enough to ensure Sonnen's victory? I think so. Watching Sonnen's wrestling is insane! I think he has an odd style. The way he moves in top control kind of reminds me of Jiu Jitsu in a way. Obviously a different style of grappling but its one I can understand a lot better then Jiu Jitsu currently despite being a geek about it. xP

I'd love to hear your thoughts! And no, no luck meeting the dude yet. With the up coming fight and family stress it'd be unfair to bring it up. Been starting to train now that the weather is getting a bit better in Oregon. Hoping to meet some of the Eugene folks when I can. If your in Salem hit me up!

I've heard that guys name somewhere

[Mike Dewitt Jr]

I think that Vinny guy is pretty good"

[Blaine Stevens]

Is this the 10th planet Vinny? Lol.. I smell trolling. Yep. Damn should have just thrown caution to the wind and searched. When I saw Vinny I was curious if it was the same guy but, lol. I deserved that. Should have checked my sources. You all can flame me xP

[Adamb]

I have trained with Vinny and is great. He has won Abu dabi, was on the tuf show, fought in the UfC, holds the light hw belt it a few mma organizations and is the head bjj coach for extreme couture is game is sick

[Slick Rick]

Yeah that guy Vinny. Name rings a bell. He might be really good.

[Blaine Stevens]

Sorry Vinny! Should have known. To be fair they make no mention of 10th planet at all and I wasn't sure if Cael was down with 10th planet given that he is, supposedly, very straight edge. ((Hes never laid hands on booze)) That was a silly assumption on my part and Vinny's credentials speak for himself.

[Blaine Stevens]

Which in hindsight kinda bugs me but I'm not surprised seeing as its graciemag.

[Mitchell C]

I'm surprised anyone in JJ wants anything to do with Chael after all his trash talking.
Doesn't this kinda make him lose credibility?
I mean...what's left of it?
Saying bjj is crap, now he is training for it.


Of course for me, this gives him more credibility.
At least he can admit he is lacking on the ground through action. (though it'd still be better if he said it)

Vinny has the best jj in mma. Excellent choice.
