Eddie Bravo Breaks Down the Korean Zombie's Twister From UFC Fight Night 24

Eddie Bravo is the man credited with bringing "the twister" to MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from amateur wrestling where it's known as the guillotine. Before Saturday night the hold had been used to end five professional MMA matches, but never a UFC match. Chan Sung Jung changed all that by forcing Leonard Garcia to tap to the painful spine lock in the 2nd round of their UFC Fight Night 24 bout. In the video below, Bravo breaks down the hold as Jung used it and also talks about some alternatives to use against opponents who recognize that the move is coming.
Bravo even manages to work on some wing chun references into the video. He also features his bunnies and his kitty kat and accuses the woman working the camera of blocking the view with her fingers (she's not).

Eddie is mental.
Great grappler, but the dude is batshit crazy. Always fun to see him nerding out about his system though. Can’t imagine training under him though; every move he showed would be like an hour long dissertation.

Also, I'd now like to domesticate a rabbit

But imagine potty training them is out of the question

their poop isn't gross at all

but their piss is beyond horrific — it’s like thick yellow toothpaste that reeks of grass.
you can’t housetrain them but you can put a litter box down where they usually go and minimize the mess. what you can’t do is have any electric cables anywhere near the floor.

We have a “store bunny” at our work. I get to clean out his litterbox. Nate speaks the truth – that shit looks like battery acid.

They can be trained to the litter box instead of just putting the litter box where they want to go. My mom would always pick up the poop in the cage and place it in the litter box that was in the cage. After a while the rabbit would just do it’s business in the litter box. This was the small litter box that fits in a rabbit cage. It’s definitely possible to just have litter boxes around your house and then make sure the rabbit knows they’re there. And if they’re cat sized litter boxes you’d really have minimal mess.

swedish?

What is Swedish about it? I’m Swedish and was hoping I could tell =(

totally

I was just thinking how much it must suck to be picked to be the demo partner in class. Just being held in between his legs in awkward positions for hours while he expels his knowledge and bong hits. Dude seemed to be experienced….

That kiss with the bunny got weird.

You guys seriously haven’t seen anyone do that? Or anything even similar at all.

It just awkwardly went on longer than I would have imagined.

for a card that got so much heat for lay and pray

this card featured some brilliant technical grappling. KZ twister, Amir locking up DJ arm and blasting him with elbows, and Rumble who got tons of heat pulled off a brilliant headlock/kimura combo and a nice arm triangle.

Rabbit is delicious. Cook it up with some roasted carrots and potatoes, maybe a little gravy.

Just sayin’.

In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that layed him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains

I've learned some handfighting from the back from Braulio

…that actually reminded me of Wing Chun.

Still don’t think Wing Chun works in punching range, though.

The Swedish was great control

Will be hard to pull off trying to squeeze your hand in there with the gloves.

I can't hear the audio because I'm at work

but what’s the name of that second alternative leg lock move, just making up names, but is it a crucifx kneebar or some shit?

I know I'm in the minority here and flame away...

…but I really don’t like Eddie Bravo. I think he’s a self-important bore.

I like the fluffy orange cat(there my fav kind) and the bunny. They were just chillin when he was on the mat showing the twister stuff. If I started grappling around my cat it would run.
