Askren's scrambly style also plays directly into marcelo's strengths. Assumably askren would do better now after a few more years of training, but its hard to predict what better would mean

And lets not confuse BJJ with MMA. Once you are able to punch the other person, some black belts turn into white belts.

Maia actually does ok, which is understandable because he is a world class BJJ guy himself. This is one of the best ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRWUatsDRzE

He expended too much energy and got tired

There's a 20 minute video of Shields sparring with Rafael Mendes that went up on YT a few days ago as well. Not quite as action-packed as the Marcelo ones but it is funny watching Shields turn several shades of Ken Shamrock purple while Mendes stays pretty chill throughout. Also that arm-drag at 5:20  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFDsgucTGzA

^^^^^^^^^^ That whole arm brag to anaconda scramble rules. Also I've always loved the Mendes bros all white layout. We should honestly have a Marcelo Garcia Appreciation station. I think everyone can understand a nice little man tooling skilled opponents twice his size. Dangersim fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Dec 4, 2013 |

Also, while I would never want Rafa to transition to MMA full time, I think it would be cool to see him fight some really bad fighter on a Z-League show to see if he could do something like pull off an MMA berimbolo.

Just so LobsterMobster knows, I'll be re-editing this into an  post to help with the Invicta GDT for at least like 90-150 minutes or whenever I run out of , to help with the Invicta 7 GDT.*this post is subject to continuous edits* For use in the Invicta 7 GDT:  Invicta FC 7 Saturday, December 7th Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City, Missouri Prelims start at 8 PM Eastern/5 PM Pacific/Midnight GMT Prelims are airing free wherever you can purchase it on cable and satellite, as well on https://invictafc.com's front page. Main Card starts at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific/1 AM GMT You can purchase the main card for $14.95 on PPV on Direct TV, DISH Network, and many American cable providers, as well as on the internet here. If you purchase it on the internet you can watch it at https://invictafc.com's tablet-tastic new front page.  Weight-In Results: Main Card: Barb Honchak () vs Leslie Smith () Carla Esparza () vs Claudia Gadelha () Lauren Murphy () vs Miriam Nakamoto () Felice Herrig () vs Tecia Torres () Joanne Calderwood () vs Katja Kankaanpää () Julia Budd () vs Charmaine Tweet () Vanessa Porto () vs Zoila Gurgel () Prelims Sarah D'Alelio () vs Tonya Evinger () Munah Holland () vs Nina Ansaroff () Background: Invicta FC is the first serious attempt outside Japan to develop Women's MMA in its own league, and has concentrated by far the most top WMMA talent of any promotion to date, and done so across the five competitive weight divisions in WMMA. Even disregarding the women who recently left to compete on TUF 18, Invicta currently has under contract 23 of the 50 Top 10 ranked women in the Unified Women's Pro-MMA Rankings. Finally, Invicta's first six shows have all been generally excellent barring the first show's main-event, and Mauro Ranallo. Originally planned for October and then November 2nd, Invicta 7 was pushed back as a result of scheduling conflicts and of original co-owner and match-maker Janet Martin having a falling out with the company. No, there probably wasn't any sex involved, it appears to have been an embezzling thing. As such Shannon Knapp is running the company almost single-handedly with several assistants. Invicta 7 will be 9 fights with a 7-fight main-card headlined by a triple main-event with three title fights, a result of a fairly sparse schedule that supposedly will ramp up to 8-10 events next year. The top match is Iowan wrestler and medical student Barb Honchak making her first defense of the Flyweight title against former Top 10 Bantamweight Leslie "Diaz" Smith, a striker out of Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu who comes to gently caress poo poo up. The co-main features Strawweight Champion Carla Esparza returning after being out for nearly a year defending her title for the first time against Brazilian riot cop Claudia Gadelha. The other co-main is improbable Alaskan Lauren Murphy (nee Taylor) fighting Muay Thai World Champion Miriam Nakamoto for the Inaugural Bantamweight Title. Also on the card are arguably two more Title Eliminators and multiple debuts of high-profiles signings including Tonya Evinger, Felice Herrig, and Munah Holland. Not on the card is Thug Rose, so sorry 'bout that. Julie Kedzie will also be absent from announcing, since she will be in Australia the day before fighting for the UFC, and Mauro Ranallo, who has a scheduling conflict announcing boxing. Announcing Team: Miesha Tate, King Mo Lawal, and Michael Schiavello Ring Announcer: Joe Martinez History of WMMA Female Empowerment Video Invicta Female Empowerment Video Short Invicta 7 Promo Main Card: Barb Honchak  (8-2) vs. Leslie Smith (6-3-1)Carla Esparza (9-2) vs. Claudia Gadelha (11-0)Lauren Murphy (7-0) vs. Miriam Nakamoto (2-0, 1 NC)Felice Herrig (9-4) vs. Tecia Torres (3-0) (7-0 amat.)Joanne Calderwood  (7-0) vs. Katja Kankaanpää (8-0-1)Julia Budd  (5-2) vs. Charmaine Tweet (4-3)Vanessa Porto (15-6) vs. Zoila Gurgel (12-3)Prelims: Sarah D'Alelio (7-4) vs. Tonya Evinger (11-6)Munah Holland (5-2) vs. Nina Ansaroff (5-3)Chrom1um fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Some b-league news! Ulysses Gomez hospitalized while cutting weight, Cage Warriors 62 headliner off. Rumor is going around that Horwich landed in Poland looking like a hobo and was detained for 3 hours by the customs officer. Holly Holm is close to signing with the UFC. Leonard Garcia fights for a god drat title today.

The fact that the Polish, a people so loving outrageously jaded by their treatment by the universe, deemed him hoboish is spectacular. I'm pretty sure you could snort a bunch of ketamine, throw your girlfriend down in the street, and gently caress while hooting like an owl and no one would care. The Polish completely don't give a gently caress.

Miriam Nakomoto was offered a UFC contract but turned it down (which is smart because she'd get wrestlefucked by anybody), but if the UFC can sign Holly Holm they should try to get Miriam for a fight. Their styles should line up pretty well.

He'd be a lock for at least one of those cards, probably as co-main but hey, that's still network TV. WSOF owns and I hope Zuffa is secretly funding them and funds them forever

Fight Night was cool, I got to see Alistair's big bro tap to strikes. Also Soukodjou is about to fight. He's walking out to the lion king theme being sung live by a black lady in a tiger dress That's not me being racist, this is reality His opponent has an obese russian in a fur coat singing some opera poo poo while an entourage drags a sled w/ the fighter in it out to the cage. Now that he's out to the cage, they're having some russian folk dancing to a cheerful piano tune  Soukodjou lost of course Yuriy fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Dec 7, 2013 |

In case you haven't seen it Invicta has put the entire card from this weekend up on Youtube for free. If you haven't watched it you really should. Not their greatest card, but some pretty fun fights there. Torres is fantastic.
