And Chael, well, he's Chael and he always gets subbed in the most embarrassing fashion imaginable by anyone who is even competent at offensive submissions.
It's more likely Chael gets submitted in the most hilarious way we've ever seen in MMA history than it is he......well, doesn't get subbed at all.
Okami is absolutely blackbelt level. He grappled with Maia at ADCC and was very competitive. He lost a close match on points.
Watch the fight again, they may not have spent the full 25 mins but there was plenty of time spent on the ground.
I also made it perfectly clear that I think Chael would lose to Jacare.
Do you guys just not read?
This is a gross exaggeration. Only very good to great submission artists submit Cheal.
Where was I when Forrest Griffin was considered a very good submission artist? Or even Anderson for that matter?
Jacare insanely easy. Chael wouldn't take it to the ground, though, but he'd get knocked down and submitted.
You're telling other people to watch the fight and you don't even know that it was a 15 minute fight, not 25? It wasn't a title fight because Filho came in 5lbs overweight, as well as talking to ghosts because he was battling drug addiction.
The whole fight is on youtube, go watch it. Chael never once engaged Filho on the ground, he just stuffed shots and stood over him.
