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.

Is one of th fights a tag-team fihgt like ZST promotion? I say this becuase there are two pictured on both sides of the versus thingy below Omigawa.

That’s winner of Hioki/Kanehara vs. winner of Omigawa/Sandro.

Good card from Sengoku, can’t wait. The card after this should be even better.

by George Lucas on Jun 30, 2009 3:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Mitsuoka

hands down.
He’s too well rounded for French.
