I hope Barnett can pull off a figure four or something outlandish like that.

I'm impressed, that's like 40kg weight difference?

Even still if Barnett gets a wrist lock or leg split or something on him I would laugh until I vomited.

It's Extremely Cool that one of the biggest Pure Water Gracie Jiujitsu propagandists put together a sub only grappling tournament to showcase jiujitsu and the second it had a heavyweight title it went to a fat guy in a speedo doing Dusty Rhodes promos, and now his brother's going to get camel-clutched.

I guess that's why Ralek went around telling everybody that Metamoris is now officially no gurlz aloud in a move of PR mastery.

Are you allowed to release German suplex your opponents off of the platform at Metamoris?

Or is there no more platform because now it's Ralek Gracie Apartment Wrestling PPV

Maybe since Barnett is the champion, he has a clause that allows him a stipulation, and he went with an Empty Arena match?

Just found an old tape of @nickdiaz209 TKOing my cousin Ralek for doing "spinning poo poo". Let me know if I should share it

Ok let me figure out how to trim the video and I'll post tomorrow night. It is hilarious. Classic

Watch their body language. After Ralek throws the spinning backfist and then follows with a one-two, Nick is pissed. His output goes to nothing, he's just covering up and stalking Ralek until he sees an opening. When he feels like it, Nick pumps the jab into Ralek's face, feinting not to hurt but rather to put the glove in his eye, and while Ralek is blind Nick lands a nasty left hook to the liver. Ralek doesn't go down, but he doubles over and he's basically dead on his feet. Nick has proven his point and he lets it go, but he was in a position to do anything he wanted and his partner was helpless.

Diaz's technique certainly isn't good boxing but it's actually pretty functional for MMA. There's a lot of very good MMA fighters who'd get murdered under any given pure striking rules.

Once Barnett subbed there was a really awkward pause at the commentators desk and in the room. Felt like you could hear a pin drop.

i am trying to avoid spoilers. Which is hard. Was tonights Metamoris worth buying? I was pleased with my purchase of the last EBI. I am on a tight-ish budget and Metamoris is kinda 50-50 for me on watchability, especially when they have gi matches.

Edit: This is an old match, but it pretty much encapsulates the dynamic between these two.

I don't think he was in any advantageous position during the whole bout, Barnett was dominating most of the time.

Other than the opening few minutes where they were hand fighting on the feet and a brief moment when both were going for leglocks, the rest of the match was Josh on top, in at least half guard
