Hey guys, just found post on facebook that basically says that there’s TV station in Croatia (Europe) that broadcasts UFC 209 event for free to their viewers. I checked if everything from site is correct, and I found it to be as it’s said. They broadcasted May - Pac fight for free (wtf?) Site explaining how to do it... I know this is promotion of VPN service, but I don’t mind that as long as I could watch the event without any worries… I believe they will broadcast event, that’s not what I ask… (was reading about Miocic being big star in Croatia, and having long fighting tradition - Cro Cop, Pat Miletich, Stipe Miocic… even UFC was in Zagreb) My question is is it legal… and what’s your opinion about it?

Hi guys; today I will looking at somewhat of a super fight in the fast rising 280K ID org Just Bleed. The org is based in Los Angeles and is run by Jake Bremner; who is doing an excellent job, Just Bleed is now ranked 25th in the world. This fight will be between Alejandro Scott (283355) and Texas Pete (260356); it is seen as a pivotal moment in the organisation. Make sure you all tune in as it's an extremely interesting fight, between two guys with very interesting stories. When is it? Christmas Eve (24th December) Where is it? Los Angeles The event name? Just Bleed 17 Where can you find it? Here: http://www.mmatycoon.com/eventcommentary.php?EvtID=876187 Background: This highly anticipated match up will be pitting the old guard vs the young lion; or the old lion vs the young dinosaur? (Maybe Vitor Belfort can help me out with that one). http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/14366146262833.png Alejandro Scott Record: 5-2 Wins: 1 TKO/KOs 4 Submissions 0 Decisions Losses: 1 TKO/KOs 1 Submission 0 Decisions Accomplishments: TWGC 11 Division 3 Finalist (265+ lbs) MMA Tycoon's 1st ever The Ultimate Fighter winner The young lion in question; is the winner of the Light Heavyweight TUF tournament; “The Jobless Surfer” Alejandro Scott, I’m guessing he now has a job. The guy may only be 20 years of age; but he started fighting at 16 under manager in exile Moyses Mattos, where he went 1-2, so he has now been plying his craft for a long time. He has now turned into a lean mean submission machine under Tycoon celebrity and long standing member of Vendetta; The C Bomb. He is 4-0 since his change in management, and has seen very little adversity in this time; excluding the TUF finale, where Michael Brophy frustrated him with some decent striking in the first round, before Scott’s clinical submission game took over. He does have a boxing background; something often overlooked recently due to his ability to excel on the mat. He competed at Super Heavyweight in TWGC at one time; where he managed to out-grapple 4 considerably larger opponents, before losing a decision in the final of the competition. Alejandro Scott was dominant in his first fight at Just Bleed; dismantling the considerably smaller Adlet Mayer with his grappling skills. Therefore he is riding an incredible wave on momentum; can he continue it against undoubtedly his most difficult opponent yet? http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/28/28w13.jpg Texas Pete Record: 25-3 Wins: 22 TKO/KOs 0 Submissions 3 Decisions Losses: 3 TKO/KOs 0 Submissions 0 Decisions Accomplishments: Former La Grande Promotions Light Heavyweight Champion (4 Defenses) Former Highland Games Light Heavyweight Champion (4 Defenses) Undefeated in his first 12 MMA fights The older man; who is really getting on in years (In MMA terms) is the 34 year old Texas Pete. Pete is a 17 fight veteran of reputable organisation The Highland Games. He was the HG Light Heavyweight Champion for 4 successful title defences, flooring everyone in his path, until the now champion Jake Theodorou stopped him in his tracks. Texas Pete has been fighting 10 years but his fighting style has almost always been the same; excellent striking diversity, deadly punches and kicks. His striking defence has got better over time undoubtedly, along with his ability to defend the takedown; which was really highlighted in his Highland Games 205 fight with Ludko Struja. Whilst Pete was taken down by Struja; he was able to thwart all but 3 out of 24 total attempts, sapping Struja’s energy, and allowing Pete to tee off on the feet, taking a close unanimous decision win. He also showed that even though his preference is to fight at kickboxing distance, he has some serious strikes in clinch if his opponent wishes to take it there. He teed off with some big punches to the body and head, going a long way to stopping opponents being happy to clinch up with him. It is arguable he is still improving even at this late age, as he did begin his MMA career later than most. Texas Pete has now been looking for a new home since the dormancy of The Highland Games, and has decided to settle on Just Bleed for the moment, which gives us the opportunity to breakdown this incredibly interesting fight. Bleacher Report Style Head to Toe Breakdown Striking: A look at their records would suggest that Texas Pete has a large advantage in this department; however the records do not tell the entire story. Texas Pete has an excellent finishing instinct and can floor opponents with a variety of strikes. Nobody should be sleeping on the striking of Alejandro Scott though, especially his boxing. Boxing of course was his original background when he entered the MMA Tycoon world aged 16. It was said that Scott could choose either professional boxing or MMA, and he chose MMA. He does not have the pure power of Pete, however of his most recent 4 fight winning streak, only Michael Brophy who was 8-0 at the time has actually out-struck Scott. This proves that his ability in boxing is still very much present and will be there for him if he needs it during this fight. The difference maker for me here is that Scott’s striking is more a means to an end, a distraction which allows him to get the fight to the ground. On the other hand Texas Pete is always trying to take his opponents head off and more often than not he succeeds. Texas Pete’s striking is his go to move; the main way he wins fights, and he wins a lot of fights. For that reason, I give him a slight advantage. Advantage: Texas Pete Wrestling: This is an interesting category as it is not where either guy excels; however it is likely to be the key to the fight. Alejandro Scott has a decent clinch game, he digs underhooks well, in order to pull opponents into his guard on the mat. However; he has never shown much of a takedown game, all of his submissions have come from exchanges where he has pulled guard, swept his opponent then found the submission from the top. He does not typically shoot for takedowns, and it is debatable for how long his ground game can be successful if this continues to be the case. Texas Pete is a good wrestler in his own right. He does not use it offensively; but he does have some extremely effective takedown defence. This will be a five round fight; and the last time Pete went the full five rounds, he used excellent takedown defence and stuffed over 90% of the 24 attempts on him in this period. He is very hard to take down; and he will need to use the skills he has in this area to the maximum in order to get his hand raised in the fight. Pete also defends well from the clinch, as well as being able to land his own strikes from there, which could create problems for his opponent pulling guard. Scott has done perfectly ok pulling guard so far; so he has not been exposed as a bad wrestler, without being an outstanding one. Texas Pete has shown excellent defensive ability, but no wrestling offense whatsoever, which leads me to say this category is just about even. However we should all be prepared for surprises, because no-one really knows what will happen regarding wrestling here. Advantage: Even Ground Game/Submissions: This is quite comfortably the most lopsided area of the fight. Alejandro Scott is a black belt who is dominant on the ground every single time he fights. He has really made a transition from a decent boxer, to an awesome jiu jitsu practitioner. He has deadly submissions; and Texas Pete will be looking to avoid the ground game as much as humanly possible a la Ed Gennero, in order to win the fight. As previously mentioned; Scott has submitted his last 4 opponents, and will be looking to make it 5; a submission is his most plausible root to victory by a considerable distance in this fight. Texas Pete has a serviceable defensive ground game; he has never been submitted. However; many of his fights have not been to the ground due to his striking and takedown defence. It would also be worth mentioning that 2 of Texas Pete’s 3 losses were due to being taken down and dominated on the ground. All of these factors combined justify a large edge for Alejandro Scott. Advantage: Alejandro Scott Keys To Victory - Alejandro Scott: Mix up his strikes: Scott’s game plan will be to get the fight to the ground; but he will need to make Texas Pete think about his boxing in order to surprise the bigger; older stronger man with takedowns. He must avoid becoming predictable as the fight goes on. Use variety with Takedowns: Scott’s plan in his recent fights has been to establish the clinch and to pull guard in order to take his opponents to the ground. He has never faced an opponent with the clinch game and physicality of Pete, so he must be prepared to try different methods, such as a double leg from the outside; if his original approach does not work or else the situation could get sticky for him very fast. Aggression: This is not to say he should go gung ho looking for the finish; but if he can entice Texas Pete into getting into a wild brawl; Scott may be able to use the chaos in order to initiate a scramble and catch Pete in a submission. Keys To Victory – Texas Pete: Control the Distance: Athleticism and experience should be on Pete’s side here; he needs to establish a distance where he can throw his punches and kicks early, not allowing Scott to tie up with him; and making him pay when he tries to. Attack the Body: Texas Pete must fight the long game here; he will need to dictate the pace of the fight. If he can attack Alejandro Scott’s body early; this will sap the energy from his opponent, and will make it harder for Scott to get him to the mat as the fight transpires. Patience: Texas Pete has a significant power advantage; and he should try to use it to finish this fight; however he cannot over commit, or it will give Scott more opportunity to take him down and initiate ground exchanges. Texas Pete will be best off controlling this fight from the outside; not fighting at a frantic pace, but gradually turning up the pressure as the fight wears on. Preview and Prediction: This fight is a seriously tough one to call for a few reasons; Alejandro Scott has fought lesser opposition who were much closer to his own age, he beat all of them, but it is hard to gauge what level he is really at with his all around MMA game. The result really hinges on whether Scott can take his opponent down. Texas Pete has been beaten on the ground twice before; but neither of those defeats ended in submission and they were both at the hands of Jake Theodorou, who is a much superior wrestler to Alejandro Scott. In striking; it is a relatively even fight; it is likely to be a boxing match on the feet; however Texas Pete will be able to mix in his kicks as well. Scott will be trying to initiate a clinch or a takedown in order to utilise his extremely prolific jiu jitsu game. I believe at first he will have a problem with this; Pete will pepper him in the clinch and will not be taken down. Pete is bigger and stronger after all; meaning he will not be bullied in the clinch. However the fight is likely to be quite gruelling which means by the middle of the 3rd round, both guys will start to tire out a lot. I believe Scott’s persistence will eventually shine through; he will find a way to get the fight to the ground and impose his dominant grappling game. I think he eventually gets the tap in the 4th round after an epic fight. Prediction: Alejandro Scott via Submission (Round 4)

I just had to share this video with you guys. I love MMA as much as the next guy but, there is a point where we go to far. I know some of you are going to like this and that is a shame but, everyone has the right to choose. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this for free and I didn't like it then and don't like it now. Even worse, now someone wants you to pay to see it. Worse than that, people are actually paying. Wow, are we really this bored??? MMA Brawl 5 on 5

Hello everyone! I am happy to inform you that Hilo's Strenght and Conditioning Gym For Starters has opened! My idea is to maintain a cheap gym, based in Hilo, so everyone could pump his fighters' physical skills before they go and search for gyms with skill coaches. Price is $50 weekly, same as Cozad MMA gyms. For now, I will only maintain equipment and cleanliness at the highest levels so everyone would be able to get the maximum starting benefits for his fighters. If business goes well, I am planning to hire a conditioning coach in order to improve physical trainings and encourage new fighters to stay longer at my place. Everyone is welcomed to the Hilo's Strenght and Conditioning Gym For Starters! Greetings, ovoxo

The nerves were on edge, his heart was racing, his pulse quickening, trickles of sweat slipping down his brow. As soon as his opponent stepped into the cage opposite him however, he felt at easy. His pulse slowed, his heart calmed, the nerves settled, and the sweat quickly evaporated. While he may not have known it at the time, looking back, that is when Grant Brophy (38705) knew that he had started something that would be almost 22 years (Game time) in the making! Welcome to my thread regarding my projects who will be fighting under the Brophy banner! From this thread, I will be updating their progress, making comments on them, posting any smacktalk they engage in, and doing different write ups regarding them.

So, a bit of backstory. While my account may be kinda old, I have taken many breaks and a lot of my knowledge of the game comes from when I read the forums back when I first made my account in 2014. That being said, I have some questions that hopefully can get me back on track to becoming a decent manager. 1. So I recently learned there is a skill cap. How does one determine this? 2. Since there is a skill cap, does this mean you wouldn't want to max out your physicals? 3. Whats a good training regiment? I know that one should get their conditioning and strength to at least 12, and then there defensive attributes (takedown defense, defensive grappling) to 12. Is it smarter to focus on Primaries first, then secondary skills? Or the reverse? 4. Is maxing defensive grappling and leaving the other ground skills to very low levels a solid strategy if you plan to just lay and pray? (Considering there is a skill cap) 5. How does one determine the fast learner hidden? I read something about a script...what script (link)? 6. Is it a huge difference if there is 3 people in a training session versus 2 or 1 person(s)? What is the deviation? 7. Should you train a particular skill more than 3 times a week? I always felt like I read somewhere that there is diminishing returns, but I might have fabricated that memory. 8. The more the merrier for sparring, correct? There is no such thing as too many people? 9. If there are a bunch of 1 star sparring partners, does it matter as long as there is at least one partner that is 4/5 stars? Or do they bring down the worth? 10. What are the pros of being in an Alliance? 11. Do you think I should wait to make more project fighters until there are 290k+ ids? 12. For the love of christ, will the mma tycoon app be on the itunes app store as well? ETA? Thanks in advance for those that take the time to help me out, sorry for the long post. But I like the idea of a "one stop shop" for all of my questions. I'm sure there are a bunch of noobs like me that will benefit.

All of my fighters in Tokyo aside from Wayne Bruce are in need of a contract. I'd like to stay in Tokyo but if the pay is enough I could travel, PM me in game if interested!

A proposed bantamweight clash between Norifumi Yamamoto and Matt Hobar has been removed from the UFC Fight Night "Barnett vs. Nelson" lineup after both fighters suffered injuries in training. Promotion officials announced the cancellation on Tuesday evening. As a result, the UFC Fight Night event will go forward with 10 bouts. The card takes place at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, on Saturday night and is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson. Yamamoto hasn’t tasted victory since May 2010, when he knocked out Federico Lopez at Dream 14. He made his promotional debut in 2011 and dropped his first three fights, falling to Demetrious Johnson, Darren Uyenoyama and Vaughan Lee in succession. Most recently, “Kid’s” UFC 184 bout vs. Roman Salazar was ruled a no contest due to a pair of accidental eye pokes from the Japanese fighter. Hobar, meanwhile is 1-2 in the Octagon, including a unanimous decision loss to Sergio Pettis his his last appearance at UFC 181 on Dec. 6. The Legacy FC veteran is 9-3 over the course of his professional tenure.

Just wondering if any of you guys captured a view of yesterday's Bellator event...and wanted any opinions on the Main Event ...in which Douglas Lima lost his champion during his first ever defense of it against Andrey Koreshkov in a Unanimous Decision victory Douglas lima(26-6) disappointed me with his performance yesterday he didn't fight in about over a year before this fight ...so cage "rust" kicked in and he didn't look very good at all. He put zero effort into stuffing Koreshkov's(18-1) takedowns and showed very little aggression when on feet and surprisingly he didn't even utilize his leg kicks like he should have, considering when he did it showed visible damage on koreshkov. All in all koreshkov is the new Bellator welterweight champion and beat Douglas the same way Ben Askren did it to him. By just securing takedowns and having more control time and showing more aggression on the feet, by actually trying to fight Lima, this gave him the victory. As a whole the event was pretty exciting Paul Daley brutalized his opponent ... Chris honeycutt clashed heads lmao ... Michael Page secured a fast knockout in his same flamboyant fashion... And Brennan Ward won Hus fight with his heavy hands.... Other then the main event, the whole event was pretty exciting with action.

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/posters/1435258565Ascension332.png Live from Los Angeles 7.19.2015 Ascension 332 Welcome once again all Ascension fight fans, we are here to take an inside look at Ascension 332 which will be the second event on this day as a follow up to Ascension 332.5 and we are hopeful the combination of these two will see us jump back into the top spot in the rankings. We did not have enough time this week to put together 2 previews so we have focussed our attention on the LA show which will be a follow up to Ascension making a stop in London earlier in the day. Both of today's shows are on the heels of Ascension 331 which was a grand event highlighted by the back and forth war between Jameson Connemara and Moe Lester which saw Lester leading on the scorecards 3-1 heading into round 5 and looking to do it once again until running into a right hook followed up shortly thereafter by a brutal uppercut by Connemara to steal the fight, the bragging rights and most importantly for him to retain his Featherweight Title. This event also saw Napoleon Complex work over Jupiter Jones during the first 2 rounds looking to prove this journalist wrong on his prediction fueled by the outcry by manager Baby Face Nelson only to completely run out of gas in round three where he was picked apart and then finally taking a massive overhand right ending his night leaving him to ponder what could have been!! Tonight's show sees us return to sunny Los Angeles and the LA Memorial Colossuseum where like always we expect close to 93,607 screaming fans will be in attendance to take part in this showdown which features a Heavyweight title fight headlining the main card and a #1 contender's showdown that will undoubtedly from Featherweight Jameson Connemara his next dance partner. Bo Juggernaut takes on Sergey Chernov in our Main Event of the evening for the 265 lbs title which will be looking to follow up the war expected between Vanilla Ice Cold and Suren Nazarethyan in our Co Main Event. Here is a quick rundown of what we have in store for you this evening. Main Event - 265 lbs Bo Juggernaut vs Sergey Chernov **Heavyweight title fight** Our main event sees a 265 pound title fight between Bo Juggernaut taking on Sergey Chernov . Juggernaut comes into this one following a brutal KO loss to Andrei Kersikov under the Montreal Fight Nights banner in the middle of June but that was then and this is now and Juggernaut looks to defend his title for the first time. Facing off against him is Sergey Chernov who is currently enjoying a 2 fight win streak and is looking to take out Juggernaut for the second time in his career and grab hold of the Ascension HW gold once again. Having lost 2 of his past 5 yet looking to be an equal match in the standing portion of this one Juggernaut knows what he's up against and will look to use his experience both from the Kersikov fight along with his previous throwdown with Chernov to formulate an effective and winning strategy. His 95% KO rate shows he means business and his opponents know exactly what he will be looking to do however that will be matched by Chernov who not only towers over the much shorter Juggernaut but also holds an unbelieveable 18 KO’s in 18 victories resume. Having only 1 loss in his last 6 fights Chernov looks to steamroll Juggernaut and take back the gold he lost at Ascension 319. Both fighters prefer to end their fights at range however they are both able to work their magic within the clinch as well but we believe this one will mainly be fought at range with both guys mixing up their kicks and punches looking to end the others night with that one brutal blow. During his career Chernov has seen every fight he has entered into end in the same fashion, and on this night we expect nothing less as he regains the title he covets with a second round devastating KO punch ending Juggernauts night and reign as king of the hill. Co-Main Event - 145 lbs Vanilla Ice Cold vs Suren Nazarethyan Tonight's Co main event sets up between a pair of veterans with aspirations of gold on their minds as they look to earn the right to face current Featherweight Champion Jameson Connemara. Ready to wage war in this one is Ascension legend Vanilla Cold Ice who has already held the gold on four separate occasions and believes a win in this one will give him the opportunity to claim it for the 5th time in his career, however opposing him on the other side of the cage is Suren Nazarethyan who has won roughly 75% of his career fights has not had the chance to fight for the gold since his failed attempt early this year under the Evolution banner. Since joining the Ascension roster he has enjoyed 5 wins in 6 appearances and with a 6th victory tonight will get the chance he has wanted since signing on the dotted line! Both fighters come into this one backed by very sturdy chins as each have lost on only 2 occasions which is simply astounding. Ice Cold is the much higher ranked fighter with the most to lose in this one but his high level pedigree will be his key to victory. Having enjoyed T(KO) victories in just over 50% of his career victories Ice Cold doesn't care where the fight takes place, he is ready and has the skills to dominate. Nazarethyan however has shown more success in both the clinch game and on the ground where he has enjoyed a 46% Takedown success rate followed up by an imposing ground and pound attack. Even though Ice Cold has taken 20 victories by way of T(KO) during his storied career over the past 13 fights he has not seen a finish either in the victory or loss department as he has seen his past 13 fights all go to Decision, also factored in is 3 of his past 5 fights have all been against Connemara he will be looking to change up history and finish this one off then move on to attempt to solve the puzzle he has already failed at 2 out of 3 times. Unfortunately for him Nazarethyan has other plans for this evening and will look to continue his quest to see his name placed in the same breath as Ice Cold and will steal this one with a Split Decision victory and earn his spot at the top of the division and his shot at the gold! 170 lbs Agent 47 vs Rustam Kersikov Our third fight of the night is a welterweight showdown seeing Agent 47 taking on Rustam Kersikov. Agent 47 sees action within Ascension for the 3rd time since making the jump to the big leagues on the heels of a 3-1 run with Hilo Fight League and then an even more impressive run of 4-0 in Hardcore Montreal Fighting League. His more experienced opponent Kersikov is currently on a 4-1 run with Ascension while his only defeat was at the same hands of 47’s last opponent Gary Player. Kersikov, the half cousin of Marko Kersikov is currently under the watchful eye of his 3rd management team, and from the recent results in his career whatever changes were made have been working fantastically as he has only experienced 1 defeat in 9 trips to the cage. 47 comes into this one with a history of using his secret weapon at any opportunity, that being his advanced intelligence as he prefers to focus his efforts on the ground and his 6 submission wins account for 50% of his career totals. His 46% takedown success rate doesn't hurt either, as in this game the key is to get the fight to where you hold the advantage and Agent 47 is one of the better young fighters to utilize that theory. Kersikov meanwhile is a talented striker who has pulled back on the power that made him successful early in his career and recently has leaned more on an all around game focussing on grinding his opponents out over a full 15 minutes of action and relying on the judges siding in his favor. I dont believe that tactic will work on this night as Agent 47’s overwhelming takedown abilities will see Kersikov spend far too much time on his back where he does not wish to be, ultimately giving in to a submission by 47 early in round #3. 265 lbs Carlos Cutwood vs Grigori Rasputin Our fourth fight of the main card sees our second heavyweight battle of the main card. This one sees Carlos Cutwood take on Grigori Rasputin in whats like a shot at a six fight win streak for Rasputin while Cutwood looks for his seventh victory in 8 fights. Cutwood moves over to Ascension following a very successful run in historic Org CFC and looks to begin a new chapter in his new home. Having won 23 of his fights by way of T(KO) it isn't difficult to figure out what his gameplan will be, as even though he has enjoyed a 45% success rate on takedowns Cutwood’s bread and butter is his KO power in his fists and even recently enjoying a monster headkick KO. With all that being said staring him down is “The Mad Monk” who not only has a current 5 fight win streak on the go, but even more impressive during it is the fact he has won all 5 by way of finish. Just like Cutwood is, Rasputin is also making his debut under the Ascension banner and is looking to take a step in competition. Rasputin holds a slight Primary advantage in both Boxing and Muay Thai one would wonder if the reach advantage held by Cutwood will come into play in his gameplan. When looking this one over we don’t believe it will and think the 10 KO losses endured by Cutwood will be his undoing in this one as Rasputin will continue his run of finishes early in round 2 with a KO Punch heard round the world! 205 lbs Malietoa Feti vs Nelson Gunn Tonight's final fight of the main card sees what appears on paper to look like a complete squash match between Triple Elite Malietoa stepping in against much less skilled Nelson Gunn. Both men rely heavily on KO finishes as they have enjoyed a better than 75% T(KO) finish rate during both of their careers. Feti is the slightly shorter fighter however he is the heavier fighter in this one which could prove to become a factor carrying the additional 8 lbs around the cage. During the past 5 appearances for Feti he has had a less than stellar 2-3 record which makes tonight an extremely important fight for him if he wishes to remain relevant and on the main card of his future appearance. Gunn meanwhile has won 3 of 5 and was overheard backstage bragging of how he loves being the underdog. Even though he is severely outgunned tonight the chaos driven kamikaze attitude of his notorious manager Mr. J will see Gunn swinging for the fences with only one goal in mind, and when he smells blood he will only become more obsessed with earning the finish. We love a good underdog story and in this one you couldn't ask for a more entertaining script with Gunn ending his drought of finishes by taking out Feti in the third round by way of TKO Cuts Doctor stoppage.

Thought I'd make a 2014 predictions thread, the 2012 one seemed cool I'll start - GSP will never return (not that bold of a prediction) - Anderson Silva will never return (not that bold either) - Vitor Belfort will beat Chris Weidman - Johnny Hendricks will claim the title and defend it until the year is over (once, maybe twice) - Cormier will fight Jon Jones and beat him (been saying this for years, have to stick by it) - UFC will become far more diluted than ever before, starting with UFN 34: Saffedine vs Gyu Lim on Jan 4th

Do you think Edwards really has one more fight in him? the odds makers seams to think that... and Luke Barnatt do he deserves to be suche a haves favorite?

Ronaldo "Jacaré" Souza vs Yoel Romero is taking place at UFC 184. Who do you think takes this? I believe Jacaré rocks Yoel on the feet and submits him via katagatame or rear naked choke.
