Maybe Oliveira is just an affectionate guy in general, but the dude lays it on a little thick in his post-fight show of respect, hugging and kissing Irvin on the mat, raising the Sandman’s arm in faux-victory, bowing to him in a "we’re not worthy" pose (dude, it’s James Irvin, you’re worthy), getting up to hug him some more, then hugging him again after a brief visit with his corner. Now we know why they call him "Van Damme."
man, a knockout artist like Irvin; It's a shame to see he has no skills other than striking. It can be seen throughout all his fights. No takedown defense, almost zero grappling defense, and of course, no JJ defense. This can be seen throughout his whole career, starting with the bonnar fight.

Fuck, man. My favorite fighter has lost 4 of his last 5 bouts. Irvin went from a human highlight reel, to getting bounced from the UFC and fighting in local venues.
idc what they say james irvin still a winner in my book. heavy hands , after james irvin hit jorge at 2:10 jorge made a desision im not standing up with irvin.
Damn I thought that Jorge guy was gonna fuck Irvin after the fight.
All that respect, relax dude...
Irvin ain't nobody special..
There's a reason why he got cut, and was on a 3 fight losing streak. He's not the greatest fighter.
In my opinion, this is what he gets for being such a cocky guy throughout his career. Ever since Anderson destroyed him, he hasn't been the same. He got a taste of his own medicine.
@Hawgboy66 irvin actualy is someone special he on a losing streak right now but he holds the fastest knockout in ufc history but i do agree with you on that ever since he fough silva he has been on a downstreak
yeah wtf lol is Oliveira gay or something lol....
that was too much, i would take it the wrong way and think he was taking the piss out of me. like " im so sorry i had to do that to you, im a weapon on god, thank you jesus" id be like you go lucky, get the fuck off me, and fuck off
Irvin looked in great shape, the best he's looked in a while...he became quite a slim LHW in his latter days in the UFC and at MW he became a skeleton, to bad he got caught with that up kick which looked it KO'd him momentarily hece how easy the triangle was slapped on with his arm in jepoardy, also why he looked half asleep right when it was over.
it looks like James Irvin should retire I can say I expected nothing more but I thought he was going to get droped first like he hasbeen dropped in his last 4 fights. Jorge Oliveira 's got a beutiful triangle though.

No, he doesn't.
The fastest recorded TKO/KO in UFC history was the Todd Duffee KO over Tim Hague. 7 seconds. James Irvin's KO over Houston was recorded at 8 seconds.
But if you really wanna know who owns the fastest KO in UFC history, go ask Duane Ludwig what he thinks...

We can't figure out what Irvin was doing in there either. Why did he leave his arm in there? He who hesitates - is tapped out.
