Wasa-B - Again, his ground game is probably better than we know but.....its not that hard to pass like Marcelo on someone who just dropped. If he did that on an decent BJJ guy straight up when the guy wasnt hurt, diff story.

Agreed. Not that impressive when your opponent is knocked silly, offering little resistance.

Being technical on the ground in a high profile fight is very impressive for someone who holds a blue belt in bjj

Kakkarotto_san - This is a pretty basic pass... I mean, it is executed very well; but it's not like some fucking mysterious dim mak shit or something. It's just a basic guard pass...

I was more impressed by how calm he was.

He's getting used to the level of guys the ufc is giving him en route to his titleshot

ok, well that last sentence is true but he did show a lil' bit of technique there, it says something vaguely positive at least. plus it was the perfect way to deal with the situation.

Yeah, no doubt the technique is there but do people realize it was A) Siver and B) Siver was rocked?

[FloydsPeehole]

Flexo - I blinked or something when he did that, I couldn't figure out how he got into mount.

Thats a long blink

[cheesesteak]

I was very impressed by that. He made it look soooooo easy

[The_Sultan]

Very clean

[NicolasRGC]

10er4life - Probably my biggest oh shit moment in that fight.

Same here. So people are saying it's nothing special because BJ Penn used to do it? Since when is that a negative argument?

This was the moment where I thought to myself...."Gunnar Nelson".

 

Then it got me wondering, "Who is his wrestling coach and when will I get to see those skills in the octagon?!?!!"

And isn't known for his grappling resistance, to begin with.

Conor is a brown belt in bjj and has competed in a ton of Euro bjj comps including IBJJF events. He just doesn't boast about his bjj but he got his belts from John Kavanaugh who is known for NOT giving out easy ranks.

That nice. Silver was still rocked. ;)

[Hunter_V]

lol of course Silver was rocked, heck bjj works a shit ton easier after you have hit a person effectively.

[Dr._Mantis_Toboggan_MD]

Dope mount is an great technique

[Jack_Skellington]

Oh that's slick.

Mcgregor is a Brown Belt.

Siver is known for his guard esp when rocked - he has always used his long legs and BJJ black belt extremely well off his back which makes the pass that note impressive
