Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
I got Story 29-28 so far, and that first round was so close that it could be 30-27 tbqh

Even if Gunnar wins this fight, and I don't think he is, I'm not really a believer

he's miles ahead of everyone he's faced on the ground but his standup loving blows, and it's insane that commentators try to praise it. he will jab or he will throw a straight right from a karate stance, and aside from the occasional kick that's everything

Goddamn Dan Hardy has a hardon for Gunnar

e: like at this point he is basically praising him for eating punches and getting knocked down

yeah the first 30 seconds you see him you think "drat, you know who's cool? lyoto machida is cool". then it's just endless garbage while rick "the neverending" story slowly beats him over 25 minutes

Joe sometimes will get on a fighter's nuts, but I've never seen him get this bad. They're literally going "oooh" for each of the two strikes Nelson lands per round, and spending time while Story is landing big shots talking about how good Nelson is.
