Classic fight. 2 master grapplers in action.
Both guys are awesome but Jean Silva's attempt to pass straight to mount possibly wasn't the best idea.
This was Jean Silva's "Hello, Japan!" moment.
Still one of the dumbest things ever done in an mma fight, and he paid for it.
Never play the leg lock game with Imanari.
looks like silva couldn't roll anymore to escape because of the cage
gameplans are overrated, so is watching video or learning anything at all about your opponent.
pigpen - looks like silva couldn't roll anymore to escape because of the cage
true but no diff than any other guy whose mobility was limited due to the cage, ground or standing
Jean Silva hasn't fought since then. He seems lost without Cage Rage.
It was a pretty serious knee injury wasnt it?
JOB - Jean Silva hasn't fought since then. He seems lost without Cage Rage.
Im pretty sure he's fighting at the next FX3 event. In June I think.
Edit - Yeah he's fighting Sami Berik at LW on June 13th
Nice to see Imanari's versatility in grappling(mobility off his back). Up till that fight he seemed to be just a leg lock guy(yes I'm aware he finished with a LL)
Silva is fighting at FX3 in June. Was gonna be on BFC but thats not going ahead now.
Will be good to see him fight again, the guy has got skills.
Ok cool.
