Sage

[VitorReem]

has the worst ground game I've ever seen. This is seriously embarrassing for mma

If you waited a few more seconds you'd have seen a sweet armbar escape.

Yep. Getting by on athleticism and that's it.

I'd like to know what he's been training for the last few years. Less beach muscles more bloody technique!!!

A better opponent would have finished him easily.

Has some balls

And another one.

 

[Turf Skirmish]

Screw you! This is awesome!

 

[YoungRonniecoleman]

Lots of guys with 3 BJJ classes because they are scared of kickboxing in here, all pretending they could tap Sage right now

 

[Rational Poster]

He's showing a lot of heart.

Can learn armbar defense later, he's only 20. Can't teach heart.

 

[Blayt7hh]

He really needs to take like a year off from fighting and just go hard in the gym with a serious bjj coach. He is almost getting finished by some really slow and obvious attempts.

 

[Steroids**]

what the fuck are you talking about?? Sage is looking awesome in this fight.

 

[SlamMan]

He needs to step up his ju jisu

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Kid has potential, and that "it" factor.

That ground game tho.

I WHITE KNUCKLE it every time this kid hits the ground.

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Credit to him. No quick taps in this fight. If he wanted out he had a few chances.

 

[MurderByExample]

Kid should've gotten to grow in the regional scene. He's too sloppy right now but he's still so young.

 

[CJ86]

Marin is either shit at finishing, or he's being paid not to finish Sage and drop a decision.

 

[Big Mike C]

he's just not that great. i mean come on who the hell is enrique marin?

 

[Weidman]

He got in UFC to quick, he will need 2-3 years off drilling to compete at higher level.

 

[robotsonic]

I'm a BJJ brown belt and I see guys like Sage in the gym all the time, gets by on his athleticism and strength and never bothers to learn good technique. I mean, sprawl, for gods sake...against more experienced guys he is always going to lose in that respect, he's going to get ground out.

TBH his strong point is supposed to be his striking and that kind of sucks too, he never creates enough space for himself, never uses combinations to push people back, let's them control the octagon...He needs to go off and train for another 2 years and then come back.

 

[fearoth]

Who is he training with for this fight?
