@NYA

Ben is such an unknown so underrated in mainstream damn we missed some good fights didnt we lol....he called out GSP sure you heard but did so respectfully ;)

Wrestlers will NEVER catch on mainstream, we all know  most casuals just want blood. I however love all the questions and answers in the octagon and its fun to see if a guy can stop a grinder, the battle of who can impose their will no matter what their style is fun to me. I am not a wrestling 1st guy, I didnt wrestle until later in life I just really started to appreciate and respecte its value AFTER seeing its effectiveness over and over in MMA. Like you said and we discussed, wrestling I saw as effective on the street AFTER I saw it beat high level stikers, Of course nothing is guaranteed in an unfair streetfight but I saw it as the greatest way to increase my chances without using a weapon which I am against unless life or death and its much easier to diasrm a person on their back than standing up. A qucik double leg is usually very unexpected and can end the fight in a hurry and extreme violence can be avoided.

I did hear about "other" guys with more brutal styles who rivaled the Gracies some showdowns in Vale Tudo but did not remember any names. Also know of the legendat Rickson vs Anjo encounter sure you heard about that fiasco lol and also like the Chuck Norris Gracie video where he praises them up and tapped out to Rickson again I think it was in front of everyone. And that BJJ style divide exists within the Gracie clan, some are more in favour of the combat BJJ and feel tournament style is watered down i thinked we discussed before Bravo is running that combat BBJ back again lol......

Anyway pretty good card this weekend here in my home country. Most excited about Ponzi - Perri to be honest lol.....we need to set up the foil to shut up a certain big mouth :)
