Alex Lewis vs Ryan Hall, 2009 Pan Ams

Interesting fight to watch - though it reminded me in some ways of what I don't like so much about some no gi grappling.

I'll also be the odd man out on the music. I think classical music can work, but this selection did nothing for me. It just seemed "pasted" on. Nice idea, though.
 
Wow, didn't realize that was Hayliks, very cool win. I was there watching this match and Alex definitely turned some heads. Major props also to Eddie Fyvie, who eventually won the division. Eddie is a very talented MMA fighter, but he proved he's got elite level BJJ too.
 
Whoa I do remember speaking to hayliks and him saying that he could beat Hall... quite amazing to see an e-thug back up their world lol!

I saw all of Eddie Fyvie's matches as well, he has a serious ground game, dangerous being on top of him.

I took some cool photos of Eddie choking out the guy in his first or second fight, I'll see if I can figure out how to post a photo on here.
 
Alex Lewis is my BJJ instructor at Florian Martial Arts Center. All of us are really proud of him for beating Ryan Hall and placing 2nd at the 2009 Pan Ams! This video is a pleasure to watch. I love the classical music! It makes it easier for me to share with people who don't have any idea what jiu jitsu is. It's clean and technical just like Alex.

Congrats to Hayliks. Sucks to lose a good forum member, even though like 95.64% of the time he as a sarcastic asshole.

Good work man!

I just picked up on this and had no idea alex lewis was hayliks, I made a comment about hayliks vs ryan in another thread still being a fantasy match up - doh!

Yeah hayliks was a miserable so and so on sherdog, but he derserved much respect for that performance. Noice Juan.

That explains why he was bashing BJ Penn and hugging Kenny's nuts for the last few months he was posting, haha.

Still wish he'd come back.
