    Being able to take a punch is one thing, Carwin has wrecking balls for fists. He also gets tired like he's actually swinging wrecking balls.

    This.

    Carwin's punches aren't like other guys' punches. Mir took over a round of Brock's punches. He ended up bloodied and bruised, but he was never out. Carwin OTOH dropped Mir like a sack of rocks.

    It's not that Mir can't take a punch... from most HWs. But from Carwin? There's pretty much only Brock and his freakish neck that can absorb that kind of impact.

    And Olav is 6-6, 220 lbs. He's not built like Brock, more like Kobe Bryant.

    That fight was sloppy, sure. But both guys were giving it their all and trying to win. That's cool.

    I can also enjoy slower-paced fights where both guys display tremendous technique. In fact I probably prefer those fights.

    Garcia-KZ had grappling too. The sequence where KZ took Garcia's back was terrific.

    I think you'll find this was the period of the fight where Garcia showed excellent control in putting KZ in a position where the poor zombie could not throw wild hooks with no chance of them landing.

    That was one of my favorite parts of the fight, out of nowhere Zombie just attaches to Garcia's back gets him down, hits him in the face a few times and secures the body triangle. Then when Garcia trys to turn over into Zombie's guard he stands right back up.

    I definitely agree the fight was sloppy but I love seeing fighters fight, especially when they fight to the bell. The crowd was going crazy, that wasn't a huge crowd on hand but they were LOUD. Also at the end there was a great display of sportsmanship which is awesome to see.

    Why the fuck has this Rebecca Black music video been posted in here twice already? Why have I seen it on Sherdog? What the fuck. I watched the first 48 seconds, and it was absolutely terrible. Is it some sort of joke, like rickrolling or something?

    Er, the one I posted is a parody, not the actual video. It was pretty much tailor made for your (and my own) sentiment, I couldn't sit through 30 seconds of the actual video and instead fast forwarded to the end where there is a practitioner of MMA in the video, IIRC. It really is one of the worst music videos I have ever seen and songs I have ever heard, I found something poking fun at it and thought you might appreciate that.

    Don't feel bad, that video is just a huge meme at the moment, it'll be gone in a week or two.

    I want to be excited to see Einemo in the UFC, but I really just feel bad for the guy. Carwin showed the major hole in his game against Brock, but he's just too heavy handed for someone with no recent fights. Einemo trains with Golden Glory, I think, so maybe he'll be ready for a striker with flash KO power, but even great grappling isn't going to be enough to get past Carwin without a solid gameplan or a diamond chin. Eh, it could be a good fight still, but it was stupid of Einemo to call out Carwin for his first fight in the UFC. I enjoy watching older guys with great technique testing up-and-comers, not so much seeing them get wrecked by a top 5 (UFC) guy. Carwin gets what should be an easy comeback fight at least, though no casual fan will give a fuck about the win, and really they'd probably be right not to.

    The fact that Einemo's 2003 win was against Roger Gracie makes me believe Carwin has a big problem on his hands if this goes to the ground. I don't care if it was 2003. It was Roger Gracie.

    And as mentioned by duke, he trains out of Golden Glory. It's likely he has guys like Overeem swinging punches at him all day, er'day, full power. I think his stand up game will be better than people are predicting. I don't think he'll put Carwin away with a T(KO) or anything, but I'll bet his cardio and speed with be better and he'll use it to get Carwin on the ground eventually and tap him out.

    Yeah he trains with Overeem. I've seen two different videos now where he's hanging out in the gym with Alistair

    $10k base, $10 win bonus. Standard post-Ultimate Fighter contract.

    $70k KOTN bonus.

    So he's definitely not guaranteed $90k!

    I'll go ahead and start preparing one...probably won't post it until tomorrow night or Saturday morning. I'm not going to be in my house most of Saturday (probably right up until the Facebook fights start), so I'll definitely be putting it up before then.

    Might go up tonight if I can work on it while watching The Wire. :D

    What sort of submissions do you like? I think I recall you going for arm triangles in competitions?

    I really like armdrags, though I can't say I'm any good at them. I like the idea maybe.

    Here is a really good video from Daculino, a BJJ coach at a Gracie Barra gym in Texas. He breaks down every little part of the movement, there is a lot to learn from each motion.
