I'm constantly mixing up whether Faber or Hall is the one with the J.

Street Horrrsing posted:After Conor beat Chad, he made a special point to thank his coaches, and that no man is self made. He then promptly went on to do nothing for his fighters beyond appearing for their fights. Like literally the next episode preview shows him training with them and them discussing it afterwards, but definitely take TJ Dillashaw's word for it

Whatever lighting rig they have that puts little gleaming circles in people's eyes for all the interview segments is weirdly distracting to me

I'm interested to see if somebody can make Hall strike with them for a while. A guy with his submission skills can go pretty far in the B-leagues just putting his hands up and bulling forward, I'm curious if he's managed to acquire any level of comfort exchanging.

tesilential posted:I bet McGregor threatened to walk or just half rear end the season when his teammate lost the fight to get in the house and that's why they brought him and the other guy back. They've brought somebody back the last like three seasons, this isn't new.

Le Saboteur posted:Looks like in the promos for tonight's episode Conor has gone from yelling get up! to Stand on your feet from the corner. Evolution! For those who didn't watch, what this actually turned out to be was Conor telling the dude between rounds "You're winning on the feet, stay on the feet!" after which the guy would go out, instantly shoot a double, and pull guard the second there was even a trace of a sprawl on the part of his opponent. It was actually kind of funny watching him relentlessly do the opposite of what he was told at every conceivable turn.

Dantu posted:It was pretty comical. I never really liked Faber before but he seems like a p cool dude. Faber has always been a very cool, classy dude. He comes across worse than usual on this show because he has that habit of "Says a thing" *pause* *other guy hasn't said anything yet* "Says thing again" It's something a lot of people do when they're talking, but when you're talking poo poo on camera it makes you look terrible

I'm not sure how showing up for the morning light practice is going to make the guy not do the opposite of what you tell him to.

That was a really good example of how to use the tripod as a defense against a guy with excellent back control

1st AD posted:And of course the guy who didn't train is gassed. Lol Hanging on the back when someone's tripoded like that is very, very tiring. It's one of the reasons it works as defense even if the guy on the bottom doesn't appear to be doing much for long periods of time.

02-6611-0142-1 posted:How would you deal with that, if you were the backpack? Reach back with the underhooking hand and grab under their leg. Worst case this makes it harder for them to shake you off, best case you can pull forward enough to destabilize the tripod and break them down. I believe you can see Gallicchio trying this once but Marcin was able to step out of it. Iirc you can see BJ doing this a bunch vs Gomi in their fight.

origami posted:I thought he was going for the same knee bar Lauzon hit on Gomi It was probably the other way 'round; Lauzon was going for the leg to hold on/break base, and then when his hands slid down the calf he went after the knee.

I feel like round 1 is probably Mehdi, but I wouldn't be shocked to see the judges have it the other way.

Odddzy posted:He's gonna be much poorer now but I don't know the numbers he made before versus after his contract with the UFC. Some people can make a decent living owning a successful gym and touring doing seminars but from what I understand Palhares is bad at both of these things. You simply do NOT want to train with Palhares. The risk factor is simply too great. Another guy that trained with Cummings, Garry Tonon, was also into leglocks in a very big way and when asked in the past if he would ever train with Palhares he flat-out refused, saying that Palhares is a danger to anyone training with him and hurt multiple training partners. The only person apparently that he would spar and drill safely with is his brother. Fatherdog could probably weigh in on this more than I can since he apparently is affiliated to the school of Eddie and Garry. Garry and I used to train together a lot when we were both purples, but since he opened his own place we generally only see each other at tournaments. He and Eddie train together at Renzo's in New York, which Yuns could give you better details on the times of since he trains there too. I know Steve Koepfer at NY Combat Sambo from way back; he's a good guy who knows his leglocks as well. You wouldn't go wrong brushing up on leglocks at either place; they have different approaches to the leglock game. Renzo's is obviously larger and has a lot more high level guys there in general, of course. If you'd be there for any length of time I'd check out both. In Austin there's a couple good BJJ places but none that I'm aware of that have anybody specifically noteworthy for leglocks. I don't know stuff off the coasts very well, though.
