What “real” fighter would train at Serra’s BJJ? Let me stifle my guffaw. With whom would one train: Matt or Nick? roflmfao. These two get their asses handed to them on a rgular basis.

I know I am biased considering that I have been in a few of Riddle’s BJJ classes, but I actually wasn’t impressed with a trash talking 7-year MMA veteran who was taken down at will throughout the fight. He did a good job on the ground once he was able to reverse.

I was disapointed when the fight kept going to the ground because I knew Riddle could have just ended the fight standing. He has a mean high kick and he should have used it more instead of looking for those takedowns. He’s young and he will definitely has a chance to improve tremendously while training under Rampage.

I can honestly say that both fights so far were very exciting and I’m actually looking forward to the next episode for once!

Brandt, I wouldn’t say that they traded evenly at all throughout this fight. I thought Creduer dominated the last 3 minutes of the first round and most of the second (apart from the thirty seconds or so when he seemed dazed by upkicks).

I wasn’t impressed with Riddell at all. I know that we pushed him a little bit last week, but I thought his grappling game was mediocre, at best. I was impressed with Creduer, who showed a good butterfly guard, good control off of his back and, though his top game could use some work, solid positional control from the mount when he got there.

I agree that Creduer is the best guy on Forrest, he is the lone BJJ blackbelt and probably the best grappler by a lot there, but, unlike everybody else, I thought his performance was impressive and displayed a skillset (especially from the butterfly guard) that we aren’t going to see from anybody else on this show.

I do think that CB Dolloway and Gerald Harris will get into the next round pretty easily, but the rest of team Rampage doesn’t seriously impress me. I left Zachrich out of that statement, intentionally, because I do think that the kid is a little bit overrated. (look at his opponents)

Still, if Forrest keeps control of the picks, he could very easily pull a Tito Ortiz and put those fights off until the very end. The mind games always play a much smaller game then people expect them to, but the picks can really change the course of the show, so we’ll see how it goes.
