Ohhh... Yeeeahh.... BLOODY ELBOWS Time! :D

PrintLooks like next round allows for Bloody Elbows... Muahahaha....
First of of all.....
LETS MUTHERFUCKERS!!!!! I hope you all enjoyed the lip read version... like i said MTV2 and cable would not apporive... LOL
Figured you guys could make a moving gif out of it like the one attached here with a text in it... lol
But seriously Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate all the support you guys have given me. Whether it's before a fight, after a fight, after a win or loss... You guys really make what I do seem so freakin awesome when I hear all the positive feedback and support.
It just makes me feel like I'm doing something right... and I am not alone in believing in myself and my dream of becoming a World Champion. This is what makes it all worth it. All the years of blood, sweat, and tears, all my hardwork seems to truly be paying off. Fighting my way back to the top is exactly my plan. I am never gonna give up or second guess my true path in life. I was born for this. I am never gonna stop killing myself every single day until I get what I want... until I feel my life has reached it's peak and all accomplishments on my "To Do" list have been checked off.
I created my "Bucket List" At a very young age... and I'll be damned if I die before succeeding! This sport has it's ups and downs... but even in the most depressing times. I will never lose focus and will continue to push on... my mentality is my strongest weapon... something no man can break. I always believe in myself and my abilities no matter what, and know I have what it takes to make it to the top. No matter what obstacles or draw backs my career has had and may still get hit with... One thing I know for sure is no man alive can break my will to become what I have set out to be.
Thank you all again. You really have no clue how much your support helps fire me up and raise the positive energy in my life and in my fighting journey. You guys all contribute to my career and my performances. I come to fight, win, lose, or draw. I try to keep it aggressive and exciting no matter where the fight takes place. I try my best to stay active and look for the finish every single fight, because in my opinion that's what makes this sport so great. Fights that are like that are why this is the fastest growing sport in the world, imo. I love MMA and want to see it become bigger than Football and bigger or atleast as respected and as big as boxing. If I can contribute to the rise of MMA world wide then I am doing my part. I am contributing to the greatest sport since "Gladiators in the Colosseum". & I've come to realize, That my friends is my purpose in life. =)
P.S. Who knows... maybe the world will evolve into something crazy like "The Running Man" violence sells.... HAHAHAHA j/k =)

YEAH
You’re by far one of the top talents over at bellator. Can’t wait for you to smash Askren. And after you beat this next dude, could you cut his face with your elbow and put it up to the camera? That would be an unforgettable moment, especially if you point at it and mouth “lets motherfukers.” I would cherish that forever.

That was some sick jiu-jitsu against Santos. Can’t wait to see you crush Lima and then Askren!
Thank you for putting on a rubber guard clinic
that was incredibly entertaining (and awesome grappling). How would you rate Santos against other BJJ practitioners you’ve fought or practiced with? I’m trying to get a grip on just how overhyped his skill set may have been or just how damn good yours is.
Also, assuming you think that Santos is actually a very good grappler, do you think that your success against him might be in part because he’s more of a traditional BJJ practitioner and he just didn’t know what to do against the rubber guard?

Beautiful performance against Santos man!
A great fight, really enjoyed it. I’m not a big jitz guy but damn that was awesome work on the ground there, you completely schooled him! I thought it was pretty damn awesome when you had him in that weird position in the first round, and was punching his face through your legs. Pretty funny, and cool. Great job all around, very impressive performance!
Obviously a tough fight against Lima coming up next, he seems like a good guy and he has real solid skills all around (much like yourself). I like Lima too but I will be rooting for you of course. I think you have a real good chance at stopping Askren if you get there, that man should be afraid to go to the ground after what you displayed this saturday.
I love the way you say LETS MUTHERFUKERS while still maintaining the intensity! TAKE THE GOLD!!!

I honestly just want to see Askren get his face completely busted up again.
Also that omoplata control with his leg extended was an awesome move, he really shouldn’t of stepped up with his outside leg like that.
Peekaboo punches through the omoplata to his face = hilarious.

Hey Ben—have you read the recent articles on BE on the relative inactivity of bellator champions and how that affects their bank accounts? Is potentially getting looped into a serious champion’s clause a serious part of your decision making process?
I was also wondering this
Like is the goal to win the belt in bellator and potentially get stuck there or get back in the UFC

On another note, did that Dustin Pague's fighting style (135er from TUF) remind anyone of a mini-Killa B?
KEMvP
"You know Joe, if Keith Jardines last name was Johnson, the nickname 'The Dean of Mean' wouldn't work at all."
Yeah
I was just thinking about Pague too, but Pague’s clinch was a little more slickness. Ben’s is just filthy nasty brutal.
It did indeed,
those knees and elbows were textbook… he used that crossface really well when the plum got broken, and let loose with an elbow whenever there was an ounce of space.

I know, I really think he could be a difference maker in the UFC.
He needs to brush up his ground game a bit, he took a really long time to sink in hooks when he was going for the RNC if I remember correctly, but he’s still going to be a beauty I think.
KEMvP
"You know Joe, if Keith Jardines last name was Johnson, the nickname 'The Dean of Mean' wouldn't work at all."
Definitely needs to brush up on his hands, too.
He was getting tagged quite a bit early by Gaudinot, and a guy of his length needs to know how to jab.

For sure.
It seems like everyone on that show decides to negate their reach advantage, nobody throws any jabs whatsoever. It would have been simple for Pague to win a Bisping-esque decision, imo. Either way. That clinch game could get him through the lower echelon of the FW division.
KEMvP
"You know Joe, if Keith Jardines last name was Johnson, the nickname 'The Dean of Mean' wouldn't work at all."
Couple those Muay Thai skills with some good boxing fundamentals,
and I think he breaks the top 10. Given that his grappling continues to improve.. he seemed pretty solid on the ground though, and stuffed Gaudinot well.
