Was a great card tonight, especially for a freebie (if you count your current bloated cable rate as free ).

When the biggest most physically impressive guy shits himself mid-fight, you just know you have a winner .


Just for the record;

So... Any of you guys in Northern VA?

I'm looking for a school.

I'm interested in learning the following styles in no particular order:
-Capoeira
-Muy Thai
-Jiu Jitsu

I'm not sure if I spelled any of those correctly...

And now that I think about it... That's the exact order I'd prefer to learn them in. I lied...

If you're looking for BJJ in Northern Va., 50/50 BJJ is tough to beat.

50/50 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Who's watching the fights on Saturday, Henderson/Thomson is the main event. I think that will be a close fight, I'm picking Henderson.

 

[wowspare]

I'm thinking Henderson will edge it out as well

 

[SoItGoesRVA]

I hope Thomson pulls it out, but the smart money is on Bendo.

Fvck it, Thomson by 3rd round submission.

Also, my background is in Judo and Shorin Ryu, and I just started with BJJ about a month ago. I'm in love with it.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Bendover will win but I hope not.
Also I see Gonzaga getting his ass handed to him just prior to the main event.

Speaking of a Henderson, Hendo vs Shogun 2 is now slated for March 23 on a FOX1 card UFC fight night 38.

Where are you taking BJJ??

Where are you taking BJJ??

Revolution BJJ in Richmond. Real class acts over there

 

[Sofos]

I know i'll probably get yelled at for trying to sell my crap in here, but seeing as the discussion has gone to people interested in BJJ, I figured I'd try: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/ge...jiu-jitsu-gi-blue-size-a1-top-pants-belt.html

I did GB BJJ for a while last year until I jacked up my wrist (Sprained in 3 different places, also sprained elbow). After a 2 month healing period I made the choice to stick with guitar, and have no use for the gi any more

 

[wowspare]

I don't like Bendo but he clearly won against Josh imo. Sucks that Josh broke his thumb but I had Bendo winning 48-47. There's only won round that Josh won clearly and that's the first

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Another case of Bendo doing just enough to get the decision, although to me it was still very close. Were it not for the hand I think JT would have won handily(p.i.).
Even though Josh was clearly on the defensive most of the fight I still think the grappling exchanges were about dead even if not in Josh's favor.
Striking, which there sure wasn't much of, went to bendo I'm sad to say.

 

[SoItGoesRVA]

I disagree. Josh just beat bendo with one hand behind his back.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

I disagree. Josh just beat bendo with one hand behind his back.

I was crossing my fingers he'd get the call.
I honestly don't think Bendo (or bendo fans) would have had any right to complain had it gone the other way. Same as when he fought Gilbert M.

 

[wowspare]

I honestly don't see any case for thomson winning that fight

 

[SoItGoesRVA]

Anyone see the weigh ins last night? Lamas looks like a man on a mission.

Anyone see the weigh ins last night? Lamas looks like a man on a mission.

It's just the hair . Like a wild crazed part-indian warrior .
Here's to Lamas and Faber earning their place in UFC champion history tonight.

And here's to Meh and Overeasy knocking each other out in the opening seconds and both being cut by Dana . It's about time.
Actually given who they've both fought in the past 12-18 months the bad records really are not bad.
It's just the way they've both caved in in those fights.

 

[SoItGoesRVA]

I think Overeem takes that one by way of decapitation.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

I think Overeem takes that one by way of decapitation.

Yeah, I agree. I'm saying the same in round two or even round one.

 

[bobbybuu]

I think Overeem takes that one by way of decapitation.

Yeah, I agree. I'm saying the same in round two or even round one.

I don't know. Overeem been off his game last couple of fights, and you can never count-out Mir.
