HORNBUCKLE! MY MAN!
Had the pleasure of watching this guy fight live twice and grapple in BJJ tournaments 3 times. Used to always bump into him in the northern indiana bjj scene.
The guy is super dynamic and creative when he fights. Seen him get submitted a couple times, but who knows how good he is now. I’m shocked to see him fighting such high-level guys now, but not THAT shocked. I always figured it was a matter of time.
by the way, horbuckle is like 6’4" with arms like inspector gadget. Gono should stop working on that jab and go buy a ladder.
Tamdan McCrory would say otherwise.

Agreed.
