Chael Sonnen vs Andre Galvao Metamoris Headliner (Rumor)

[Jerry Walker]

Fox Sports is confirming Chael-Galvao: http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/c...fscom:ufconfox

On a side note. Andre Galvao is having a seminar around me in the future. However, its only a gi seminar. Ive never worn a gi and have no interest in competing in one. Think its worth going to? Anyone else attend one of his seminars?

A seminar with Galvao is def worth it even in the gi. I imagine you would be able to learn something that you could translate no gi.

I'll just wait until the official press release from Metamoris.

Can't wait!

yes. You'll be bale to apply most of it to nogi anyways. He doesn't have a super grip dependent game. It's a chance to learn from the current ADCC Absolute Superfight champion which makes a strong case for him being the best nogi grappler on the planet. Certainly top 3 pund for pound by any standard. Even if it's a gi seminar it's worth it.

You think he would run in a sub only comp?


mmmmm.....yeah, maybe you're right. Braulio Estima played foot in gi for 20 minutes then threw his hands up like he won. So you're probably right. Sub only only works if you have guys who like to go for subs.

That was bizarre, because it's literally the only time I've ever seen Braulio go out there and not try to murder the other guy.

Looks like the rumors are panning out, Barnett-Lister also confirmed by Ariel: http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/6/20...is-4-in-august
Awesome.

[David Rosado]

Go figure. While I"m not excited for the match, I'm looking forward to what Chael does to hype this up.

[Jerry Walker]

And Henderson is officially out.

And Henderson is officially out.

I don't blame him. I think BJJ is one of is loves, but MMA is what pays the bills. He gets like six figures for a fight. I doubt Metamoris is paying him that. And he has a fight coming up from what I've read. Still has the potential to be a great event. Why not?
