my main thought:
wrestling is awesome, but you cannot shun BJJ like Chael Sonnen has and expect to get to the top. it’s kinda mirculous Chael got this far, be he’s probably the only guy with good enough wrestling to get this far without any BJJ or awesome KOpower.
as Ben Askren and Phil Davis are showing, and Jake Shields before them, a great wrestling base plus starting dedicated JJ training (especially from top) sometime before age 25 is a dangerous combo.
a life: it's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come -Lester Freamon
I know it was technically a submission...
But he really just said “Uncle” from the pain Guida’s shoulder pressing against his busted jaw, right?…. I haven’t re-watched, but I thought it was more of Guida controlling position than a legit submission…
