I'm not a very big mma fan myself but I do have a question about this video. The announcer clearly says at the beginning "this fight is scheduled for 3 2 min. rounds then when you time it, it actually lasts 2:09. It looks as though Josh was just trying to play it safe until the end of the round but the bell never rang on time. Not to mention it was Drysdale's debut/hometown and TuffnUff wasn't about to let him lose. The whole thing sounds fishy to me.

He had 10 seconds left before he did the submission. He beat him at 1 min. and 59 seconds

You guys act like Drysdale is calling out Fedor or something. It's obvious that BJJ by itself won't do you too much good when you go against big competition (unless your last name is Aoki), that's why Drysdale is training with the guys at Xtreme Couture. He also trains in Boxing with Skipper Kelp, who is the head coach of the UNLV Boxing team..

So it's not like Drysdale is solely relying on BJJ (it is his base though, obviously). He himself said that he's taking it slow with MMA anyway.

Your right about bjj fighters not being able to punch good enough. But If you consider fighters like Damien Maia, Jacare and even Rickson gracie (believe it or not) have had good success in mma. Like I said before they may not be the best but they have adapted their jiu jitsu more towards mma which, in some way changes a big portion of your jiu jitsu game. Jiu jitsu and mma (vale tudo) are of course 2 different ball games. Thats why you evlolve your jiu jitsu and gear it more to strikes.

who do u think would win in an bjj fight, drysdale or GSP?

I'm sure drysdale knows how to ''effectively close the distance'' aperbitch. He's gonna get a rude awakening real soon. Its not ufc 1 anymore you need alot more than bjj to beat quality fighters. Ask BJ Penn about getting his head kicked in while trying to work his bjj magic. Bjj guys can't throw the punches good enough and I'm sure drysdale couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

[aper3221bitch]

Ok mister expert. Why don't you get in there and show us how it's done. In order to make bjj work in a fight you have to know how to effectively close the distance on an opponent while avoiding to muck damage. It's kind of like a striker learning good takedown defense. Don't hate just reckongnize when a person has skills. He may not be the best, but how many mma fights have you won?

[aper3221bitch]

fuck the round ending. Rounds are bullshit and stop the bjj fighter from doing his job which is winning at any cost. If the round would have ended, that would have been bullshit cause the guy got submitted fair and square. Time limits hide the reality of fighting. If the bell would have rang, the guy could have been saved from a possible loss which once again would have been bullshit.
