Default Royce Graycie vs. Ake Bono

This is the match I was talking about at hooters that night. Funny as hell to watch, top sumo versus some sort of brazilian fighter.

Royce is a ****** badass dude. Ive trained under some of his top students for 2 years in North Carolina and I have maybe learned 2% of all the techniques, but what you learn definately makes you laugh at huge dudes that think they can kick everyone's *** ::ahem::

What kind of fighter is he? I love to watch sumo, nothing is funnier then fat men trying to wrestle. Ake is one of my favorites.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, although there are many added and modified techniques that his family developed since his father and grandfather were fighters as well. Its all about grappling, locks, armbars and lots and LOTS of pain for the other guy. He absolutely dominated UFC championships during the early 90's beating guys that outweighed him by 100lbs quite frequently

Yeah the Gracies were some bad sob's back in the early UFC days. I always enjoyed watching them. Did any of you watch the Ultimate Fighter. When the guy from Athens won (Forrest Griffin). Those guys beat the crap out of each other. Forrest is a bad ****. He now has a contract with UFC. Actually both got a contract they both deserved it.

I work in tactical intel, which is more to say my office is not a bunker with a computer, but the streets and locals of the armpit countries. Afghanistan was much more fun that Iraq though

Come on now, Royce Gracie is the man. Incredible Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, awesome to watch. Got to meet him, his dad, and a few of his brothers back in the day when I lived in Rio.

David, Forrest Griffin is from Athens? ha, that's cool... I saw a few episodes of that show, and the last fight too. Good fight, bloody fight.

Afghanistan its cake bro. If she is on one of the main airfields, Bagram, K2, etc its pretty damn built up there with lots of amenities. They even got Burger King and Starbucks on the large airfields

I spent most of my time on little (like 60 person) prt's, and out and about but when I was there they had rocket attacks/mortars on a weekly basis, however the guys shootin this stuff at us are shooting rockets off of rocks and hopin to hit the base from a mile away. So... needless to say they MIGHT be successful 5% of the time. She will be fine, just tell her to not get complacent, as it is easy to do after a few months.

I'm pretty sure that's where they said he was from. I was going for him since he was a GA guy. When he got that bad cut and they were questioning he ability to fight I was worried. He looked so much meaner when he had a shaved head. I had it Tivoed but deleted it. I would like to watch that fight again. Can't wait to see Rich Franklin take on some of the UFC guys. It's gonna be good.
