The commentators never point it out, but I think Irvin was hurt by one of those upkicks before he got submitted.

Yeah… Irvin might have been out for a second.

Yeah, the way his handstrike flops -- dazed...

And after the upkick connected, Irwin remained motionless long enough for Oliveira to grab his arm.

I was thinking that last night watching. Becasue the way he just let himself get subbed and did nothing did not seem right

that was just ridiculous

From back in the old-school WEC days. His fight against Justin Levens was the shit. I seem to remember rumors of him signing with the UFC, but then he got KOd by Glover Texeira (another guy who should be in the big leagues now) and it never came about. Maybe it will now?

anyone know why this was his first fight since 08...

Glover really needs to get his visa problems sorted out, It was stoped him fighting a few times now

some of those camera angles make the cage look so small…. I swear they were fighting in a caged shower stall

Bizarre cage

Those little “pockets” as they called them could be bad news for most fighters.

Best part of the video was Martinez as the ring announcer.

by swells2048 on Dec 3, 2010 12:33 PM EST reply actions

He didn't even have the triangle locked

Must’ve been the armbar then. Not sure if the announcers said it as I’m at work and can’t put the volume on.

It could've

2 months ago, Irvin very nearly got his ass handed to him by some dude in an event that looks it was held in a high-school gym.

poor dude might just have the worst luck in the sport
