I wonder if he could make Jesus tap…

He obviously attempted to and....

JESUS DIDN’T TAP. Duh.

Without getting into any sort of religious discussion, I wonder how many others thinks that the phrase “Jesus didn’t tap” is kinda dumb. There was a very good reason why he couldn’t tap.

I was at the fight and the announcer said it should be posted on www.Legacyfights.tv tomorrow. He’s striking wasn’t clean, and he got rocked pretty badly. There were some other decent amateurs, a 17 year old won with an armbar and broke his opponent’s arm. And one fighter from Gracie Barra went from a flying triangle choke to full mount and won with GnP.

pretty impressive way to win IMO,

especially since he’s not originally a jiujitsu guy (he’s a blue belt though). I hope they come out with the vid soon. They said HDNet was filming it.

I got stuck on this show for a little while. Some other kids took it to extremes. If you look at my 3rd grade halloween pics, half the class is some color power ranger.

An omoplata is always an A+ finish, especially getting flattened.

while i wish no ill will on the guy

I think it’ll be interesting to see what he does when he gets caught in a submission attempt; will he tap and go against the brand name he created or put his MMA career in jeopardy to show he stands by his slogan.

all that aside, glad to hear he was sucessful

Here's an idea,

Herschel Walker vs Jason David Frank..

Both weigh around 215, both made their MMA debuts really late. Both have blackbelts (taekwondo/karate), both have a strong following cause of their past careers..

Walker looks like he wants another fight, and who else can you match against Herschel right?

Nice job pulling off a sub like that is impressive in a debut fight, hopefully the video will be online soon.

thanks,

I linked the video to the post. Skip to the 1:50 mark folks, you’ll thank me.

i was at the fight. dude got rocked about 2 to 3 times. his stand up is trash considering his credentials. and fighting a guy with no rep at all. the submission wasn’t fully effective before the dude tapped out. he needs a couple more 10 amateur fights before considering going pro.

It's the same problem all veteren fighters have

years of fighting Rita Repulsa have softened up his chin.

Go Green Ranger, Go!

I still say he should have came out to Green Ranger theme. He did all that without having to morph. Good stuff.

As a fan of the show growing up

I always did love the unmorphed fights the best and he and Walter Jones were my favorites to watch.

Went from Green to White. I liked him better as the green ranger though. Giant green mecha-godzilla like thing is awesome!

Green Ranger 101....

Rita put a spell on Tommy the green ranger. She lit a candle and the candle eventually burned down, so Tommy was no longer able to use his powers as the green ranger. On a later episode Tommy came back stronger as The White Ranger which also came with a white tiger. The end.

Stronger?

Nobody would wield Titanus like Tommy. Dragonzord + Titanus combo, ftw. However, after the Green Ranger’s power disappeared, didn’t Jason wield the Dragon Dagger; Dragonzord along with the gold armor long after?

Tommy definently needs to drop down a couple of weight classes. He was dwarfed by the size of his opponent.

I would love to c that match up, not sure if they are in the same weight class, but I would watch it
