Chael was in it for the payday. Now we'll see if NSAC fines him and he has nothing to show for it but a loss.

Sweet, that was my dad's favorite hold when he did old school Judo as a young man. He's going to love this.

Really fun event.

Chael was out of his element and was basically just trying not get subbed. He was booed a bit for how bad he was refusing to engage.

Barnett crushed Lister.

Vinny's match was boring as fuck :(

Yoshida and Glover was the match of the night. Didn't even realize it was the "secret' match until they announced it. They had pictures of both guys all over the place and in the literature they gave you.

Didn't see Silva. My buddy said he saw him after the fact though.

Maybe a little off topic here, but...

Bloody Elbow posted an article after Metamoris (it's still up), with the headline "Galvao Chokes Out Sonnen". I've heard other people brag about "choking out" somebody when they win via submission by a choke. I've always considered a "choke out" to be when someone actually goes to sleep via a choke, not a tap out. For some reason, it's a big pet peeve of mine and drives me crazy when I hear people use the term incorrectly (or at least, how I view the proper definition of the term).

It's right up there when people say they "cut weight" when they really just watched their weight leading up to a tournament. "Weight cut" should be reserved for those few extra pounds being lost via water weight a week before a competition.

The weight cutting thing is a pet peeve of mine. Difference between cutting weight and going on a diet - although oftentimes a diet is a part of a "longer weight cut"

The choke thing I don't mind. Most people tap bc they're going to go out anyway.

Sonnen was so tooled in this fight that he would have been out like a light if he didn't tap. Galvao looked like he was toying with Sonnen at the start of the second.

Chael just earned his BJJ purple belt. Of course we all watched him get school by Galvao at Metamoris.

So he got his purple belt by turning purple at Metamoris?

That sounds like the proper sequence of events to me.

AS expected, the fine stuff was a bunch of BS put on by Chael's lying ass.

I don't know, I think he turned blue before he turned purple. I figure he'll get into a port-a-john and someone will tip it over Jackass style and he'll get his brown belt. :crap:

Loss after loss after loss. Sonnen sure milked the fuck out of his 15 minutes. Good for him. Lots of guys have records like his and nobody gives a fuck about them. I guess you have to tip your cap to the guy.

Maybe he can get a job doing conservative talk radio or some bullshit.
