purple belt match?

one of the matches i saw, some guy was standing in his opponent's guard, his hand was pushing against the guy's chin/face, and it looked like a slam. i know there was a collective "ooohhhhh" when it happened. the guy got dq'ed.

I saw that, didn't know that was you
I was the dude with a red shirt, and holding a hoodie all day. Also if you were anywhere around Mat 7 I was the guy screaming "3 in a Row" "And he's done" If anyone was wondering lol.

yup i was the guy getting slammed - it wasn't fun - i saw it on video after it looked awful I'll try and post it on youtube
 
why didn't marcelo compete?

would have liked to see him against pablo

If Marcelo would have competed they wouldn't have fought. Pablo was fighting at Medium heavy, Marcelo fights at Medium. Pablo only goes down to Middle once and thats for ADCC, but it's not like he'll be able to do that anymore with the rule change.
 
If only they had a division where grapplers from all weight divisions could compete against each other.
 
That was Max McGarr, program director at Renzo's. He's a monster and his passing WAS really on point in that match. It was a variation on one of John's favorite passes, which I was impressed to see used so well without the gi.

what was the pass??
