I shared some highlights of my match with Todd Margolis in my Grapplers Quest Debut on Instagram, and got requests to review the whole match. You ask, I deliver. 🙂 Here is a break down of the whole match, and as you will see, under hooks were my key to victory. If you want to […]

Edgard “the Dream Killer” Plazaola is one FFA’s up and coming fighters that will be taking names. He is currently 4-0 as a pro MMA fighter, all by submission and TKO. But before he got his start in MMA, he was grappling. In this match, we see a blue belt Edgard cutting through his opponent […]

As much I like Guillotine Chokes, they cannot be used all the time. In this match, both men try to Guillotine each other, but only one of them can prevail.

I entered this tournament just before ADCC 2011, as a way of tuning myself up for competition. I hadn’t competed since last ADCC in 2009. This was the first match of the day, against Pablo Popovitch Black Belt Shawn Eager. I can count the times in my life that I have been swept in competition […]

Back in 2003, I entered a 16-man Grapplers Quest West Absolute Division in Las Vegas. For some reason, I always end up drawing the largest specimens in every absolute I enter. Cyborg, Jeff Monson, Xande, Robert Drysdale, and in this match, the biggest of the bunch – Roy “Big Country” Nelson. This was my third […]
