sujiro Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 wow! Palhares kneebar Branch, a Renzo Gracie Black Belt..... hope to see a rematch with Nate or an interesting match up with Maia.. but if GSP moves up to MW, i hope Palhares will tests him first.. Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Holy Crap! What a stand-up war between Kampmann and Sanchez.. That was fun to watch! Dana was so happy that he gave both fighters $160T in bonuses alone.. Also, the lighter weight fighters have officially arrived with the Bowles vs Page match.. Page was dominating the stand-up with his phenomenal muay thai until Bowles landed an uppercut and grabbed his neck for the dejavu guillotine on Page.. Munoz won.. Yey! A controversial one but a victory nonetheless.. Oh UFC, please make Palhares vs Maia match.. Let's see who is the best grappler in MMA's MW division..

geneticfreak Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 the guard position is actually an advantageous position, and the person inside the guard is in the least dominant position in BJJtama ba chief gf? Well not really. It's more like the guy on the bottom has 'neutralized' the top person's advantage cause he cannot attach from within the guard. If it's MMA though judges tend to look at the top guy as the one with the positional advantage cause of course in MMA you have the additional option to punch and elbow from within the guard. If ever Palhares and Meia would ever meet in the octagon the thing is both might not actually risk goin to the ground knowing how good both of em are. What we might end up watching is two of the best grapplers in the world trying to decide who among them is the better striker so we might not actually find out who the better grappler is if they're gonna meet in the octagon. The ADCC I think would be a better venue to find that out. Quote Link to comment

thecunninglinguist Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Anyone here has an opinion on Mark Munoz demolition of CB Dolloway? Maybe he should be the one to shut up Bisping. I personally think that would be a good fight. Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 muñoz vs. bisping? not just yet imho Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 ^ So who do you suggest Bisping faces next?? Maia would be one of my top choices... though I think Munoz won't be a bad choice either.. Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) SONNEN! for curiousity's sake, i'd like to see them trash talk their way to the fight Edited March 8, 2011 by ray004 Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 sonnen vs bisping would be a great match, munoz vs bisping would be great too, would love to watch munoz smash bisping's face hehehe Quote Link to comment

The ADCC I think would be a better venue to find that out. then why do Royce-Saku, Saku-Newton all ended up to be a ground game? cause they are not well-rounded during that time? besides, Branch is a Renzo BJJ Blackbelt and we all know what happened.. and it is ironic that when 2 elite strikers fight, they seldom hit the ground (except, when som1 was KO). i heard a story that Palhares submitted Big Nog during training and Eddie Bravo admitted that he tapped to white belts..is this normal? that every1 taps once in a while by a lower degree BJJ practicioner..or it just that the newbies are really that impressive?

Falcao.though not yet in top 10. but that guy is nasty..it will be a good match up for him, since Bisbing is always working and Falcao based on his UFC debut, is a counter-striker.

Yes... and you do have cases when a guy who hasn't been training that long ends up submitting people of a supposedly higher BJJ pedigree. We of course have the likes of BJ Penn and Mike Fowler to prove that. Some teachers will actually let a lower belt 'catch' them from time to time as a teaching method too... The most famous BJJ teacher I could think of who does this is Diego Sanchez's BJJ coach and multiple time world champion Saulo Ribeiro. Quote Link to comment
