mmmmmm never heared of any of these fighters haha mma news has been slow this weekend
I have JOHNBOY , although Its been mostly just reading about them . Thats the problem ….. there just isnt enough exposure yet . Oh well
Guess Travis wasn’t in shape…
@JohnBoy u have probably seen some of the fighters actually fight yet don’t realize just based off the names
Yuki Kondo, Nakamura, Schultz, Santiago,Masvidal, “Cyborg” Santos, Wiuff, I believe u have most likely seen these fighters fight in the UFC,IFL, or PRIDE at one point or another….
If you haven’t heard of Xande Ribeiro you will. He’s a two time world jiu jitsu absolute champion
I feel bad for guys like Travis Wiuff. A lot of heart but when you look at him and some others you just know they’re gonna lose. Diesel is another. Baby face another. They’ll just never be at the top but they still go in there and hammer it out.
Good post
I think this was decent for a sengoku card that didn’t feature the likes of Gomi,Cro Cop, or even Barnett, a lot of young fighter, but also a lot of talents fighters
Xande Ribeiro is solid in BJJ…
