Wow...perhaps Omega was right about something? :icon_bigg

What do you mean perhaps?

Heaven forbid I should actually know what I'm talking about. Thanks for slowing that down at least it gives my view point some validity.

That wasn't BJJ, that was freaking art!

Warning: opposing opinion, I'm almost cringing at how this might get taken apart but it's just my observation based on memory.

I thought Nogueira's whole game plan for that fight was disastrous, he took a hiding looking for takedowns, which the majority of them being blocked because his posture was terrible. What he did in the OP's video was beautiful, but he absorbed a hell of a lot of punishment in getting there. Had Sylvia's hands been a little heavier or had he been fighting a better boxer he'd have been KO'd in the early goings. IMO.

This seems to be working for Nog, especially after looking at a few of his fights that have gone this way.

CroCop's not a better boxer than Sylvia?
