two guys Strikeforce need to use more often. Jacare and Kid Yamamoto. Jacare is one of the best bjj practitioners in all of MMA and is going to twist Smokin Joe up something fierce. I almost feel bad for Joe. Kid Yamamoto is action packed the guy should be on the main card. Just a shout out, Lyle Beerbohm is my boy, the guy is so strong its crazy. Just playing around, I have rolled with him and he is the strongest guy I have ever seen at 155. He made Bang Ludwig tap with a headlock. No shit. Just squeezed his head. Ludwig said after the fight he was blacking out.
Shaolin is fighting my boy Lyle Beerbohm. He's undefeated, I think 11-0, but this is a huge step up for him. Lyle fought on Elite XC and now with SF. He's a wrestler/ground and pounder with badass elbows. Rick Little is the trainer, he's a black belt BJJ from the Royce Gracie camp. Rick has trained Lyle more in defending BJJ rather than using it in offense. I know it doesn't look like shit on paper, but it should be a decent scrap.
On paper he shouldn't. And it won't suprise me at all if he does sub Lyle. but it won't suprise me if Lyle takes him down and beats him up pretty good before he does. Lyle cuts guys up with his elbows.
I was hoping that fight would be televised. I'm surprised it's not. Anyway, I'm hoping Fancy Pants takes this one. TFK
We all are up here too! SF told Lyle if he wins they are looking to put him against Josh Thompson. Lyle could really use a big break.
Arlovski is gonna get stopped by Big Foot. I feel bad for Arlovski he's a cool guy but I think he's super shot mentally. He should stick to acting or modeling or something. His losses seem to get to him emotionally.
You are right about AA mentally and emotionally. His chin is so suspect its just rediculous. The bad part is the guy is extremely talented. His stand up is top notch in the HW division and he is world class Sambo. Its just amazing how bad his chin is. I think this fight is a good one for him. I am really pulling for him to beat Silva.
