[leo376969]

o importante e vence

[btjackbeats]

Arona is a fucking beast on the mat dude

[Alos21]

@btjackbeats boring as fuck

[B0l0joe]

I like ADCC's old style with the bright white mats and audience sitting in the gloom, cool :D

[madatgravity1984]

Id like to see this match again today. Babalu's BJJ is sick now!

[LardInATubeSock]

@madatgravity1984 So is Arona'a! Both have gotten better@

[B0l0joe]

@madatgravity1984 agree. babalu started off as a wrestler then went on to develop sick bjj skills and was tapping out wrestlers left right and centre in the UFC for a while.

[digo2206]

Ele é um atleta, para ele o importante é ganhar, se a estratégia dele é vencer por pontos ele tá fazendo o trabalho dele

[Nathanmp3]

Arona eh um garnde guereiro, mas no VT seu jiujis parece ser parcial.m =(

mas ele esta voltando

vamos ver o que ele tem preparado pra agente.

XD

[laranjaworm]

O arona parece lutador de judô... quando a luta vai pro chão ele prefere amarrar a luta pra vencer por ponto do que finalizar o adversário....

[X0UKI]

i dont care what anyone says, fedor is the man NOW. but Arona beat him. watch the fight yourself

[hijuepuya]

c'mon dude fedor deserved to win that one, gotta give arona credit though, everyone else gets destrpyed by fedor. But arona did so good, it was almost a tie for me. but look at who is doing the most damage, not only on who is on top, and you will see fedor got more hits and sprawled most of the time to prevent a takedown even if he could not get fully on top.

[wally316]

@hijuepuya Every well said in this topic.

[Nisp]

In any rule-set other than Rings Fedor would have destroyed Arona.  Rings had no strikes to the face/head of a grounded opponent allowed.

[X0UKI]

yeah that maybe true. but if shogun and forrest fought in pride rules, people might say shogun wouldve destroyed griffin with soccar kicks and stomps. who knows

[jshoup]

Bad argument; fedor was the one who was on his back mounted, GnP would have favored Arona.

[Nisp]

Obviously you realize the fight would have played out completely differently under a different rule set.

[johnny34241116]

pow o arona ganhou esse ADCC 2001 , ele lutou com os melhores lutadores de jiu-jitsu e vale tudo do mundo e ganhou , ja no vale-tudo o n vejo o arona demostrar esse jiu-jitsu invejavel dele.

[Lovegear]

both are great grapplers, so one mistake by one of em and the other one will capitalize. Matches like these are the game of Arona as he loves to play the patience game

[Enigma3390]

So what actually happened to Babalu's sister?

[styro]

I think you mean vitor belforts sister, she was kidnapped and murdered

[BocadoInferno]

@styro Nobody knows if she is dead. Nobody found her, so, after all these years, since 2004, she's probaly dead. That's just a mistery.

[Calculon64]

I was expecting a kiss

[raimundo666]

Sobral is a great fighter so as Arona.

[pchancey007]

If Arona wouldn't of ran off the mat Baba could of made something happen.

[yurimisaki06]

arona amassando....mas tem dado mto mole sendo raspado e quase levando uma chave d pé.....num eh a primeira vez q vejo isso....maso foi sopa d tamanco...pau pra todo lado

[sholamaudito]

eu qeria q o ricardo lutasse com o fedor no vale tudo ele foi o unico cara q venceu ele

e foi roubado qeria ele ganha se dinovo e naum acontesse se de dar a vitoria po fedor

[6packQuest]

can I join in, sexy boyz

[mooki69]

This is a sport.

Take you creepy little fetishes out of Jiu-Jitsu

[Rocketracerman]

lol looked like babulu wanted to run right out of there but arona with his cat like speed kept him back down there

[figthersdreams]

Sobral did a good job

[madatgravity1984]

Its interesting to see how much Sobral has advanced his game these days.

[B0l0joe]

Yes. He was originally just a wrestler but his BJJ has come a long long way
