any video? id like to see vinnys flying armbar
Yes I have posted that in the forum section, com’on man you know its kinda what I do!
breathe deeply here FR…
i didnt check before i wrote that. my apologies i shouldve known better. i will now cut off my pinky as an amends.
well when Jcohl finds out that Jacare beat Drysdale and Jacare trains with Anderson Silva and after Silva sooo disrespected Drysdale in his UFC 101 interview by calling him an idiot, all helll is going to break loose
all in fun guys
O and Jacare is signed with Strikeforce, which means this is all to blame on Fedor
F~Finkledinkle
Whose Robert Drysdale???
Who’s Robert Drysdale?!?!
J/k
I got the results sent to my phone like 10 minutes ago from a friend of mine who knows I’m into this stuff.
Actually, I am pretty bummed that Drysdale lost to Souza, but hey, this is Abu Dhabi, a SuperFight, and he was on the mat with Jacare, so Drysdale’s got nothing to hang his head about.
Although I’m sure he [and I] would have liked to have won the bout by pentagram choke, or some other spectacular finish, but thats how it goes.
As for the Anderson Silva thing, I was probably more upset by it than Drysdale was.
And if they really had a beef, I’m sure we would have heard about Drysdale standing in front of BlackHouse calling out Silva for a grappling match…
check out Jacare v Drysdale over in the forum section
Too bad Baret Yoshida got knocked out so early, was pullin for him. I hear Kron Gracie had a crazy match with Marcelo Garcia.
well kind sir the fight is over in the forum secition if you wish to see it
I need to make my way over there. Thanks fr702.
I’ve posted most of the “main fights” you should enjoy, hey with the K~1 and Strikeforce plus the ADCC its quite a bit of time of MMA and kickboxing and pure grappling in the world
Just to let everyone know that I just posted a bunch of ADCC video’s over in the Forum section and will be adding more when I can or as they become avaliable… For me the ADCC is just super wicked awesome but hey thats just me, I posted some good stuff over there, hopefully you enjoy
All Gracie finals !!!
if you guys cant wait to find out what happend matratz.com has been covering adcc like crazy braulio estima is the man
As have I, I’ve actually even posted video’s of the fights themselves for the most of us that haven’t seen them thx
Can someone explain “superfight” to me? Were they different weights?
Ok “superfight” is usually the previous winner of the Absolute Division versus the previous winner of the “superfight”…
This years “superfight” was suppose to be Drysdale (2007 Absolute Champion) v Gracie (2007 Superfight winner + 2005 Absolute Champion) yet Gracie pulled out due to, well I can’t remember, sooo Jacare stepped in to face Drysdale… O and these two were probably close in weight, but that isn’t always the case…
Next Superfight (as of now) will be Jacare (winner of 2009 superfight) v Branlio Estima (winner of 2009 Absolute Championship)
hope that helped a little
Very much so. Thanks!
You are welcome
