Liver Punch Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just dropped his third loss in a row in the UFC. Between that and his age, he's probably done in MMA. He's competed in Olympic wrestling qualifiers, ADCC, and is a student of pretty much every form of grappling on Earth. Groin Strike and I had the honor of going through a grappling class with him at Xtreme Couture and the he was among the nicest guys I've ever met in my life. I certainly hope he continues his career in grappling with more ADCC and the like. If you'd like to be entertained and can find his fight with Jamie Varner, you certainly won't be disappointed.

ps1 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sadly, this is often the outcome of sport grapplers. MMA is a sport that is very different than sport BJJ. Because of the various systems of grappling, it doesn't always port well to the cage. This has happened to more than a few high quality grapplers.
