Damn you! I just came over to post that photo and the "of the night" honors. You're just too fast for me sir.

I would have tapped to someone rubbing my arm on their "junk" as well!

Do you have a video of the Gono fight? I've been trying to find it but no luck. I want to see the sub and his entrance

I won't post the embedded video, the UFC doesn't like that. So I'll go ahead and link one.

Awesome submission. Thanks for the link Brent. Its good to see the bonuses keep going up. I think its like 3 events in a row the bonuses have increased

What I loved about that sub was that he had just gotten full mount and Tamdan turned. So many UFC fighters now seem to immediately try for hooks and the RNC. Gono snatched the trailing arm and locked that fucker in. He then used his junk as a pivot point, which I found disturbing in a Mr Hands kinda way...
