I hear Rorion Gracie narrating the fight, "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Action" style:
"... watch as the Muay Thai representative tries to escape. But like an anaconda in my native Brazil, my nephew, uh... well, he hits a kick and punching combination... uh..."
Was a great fight for the fans though--mcsweeney brings it every time and Roger Gracie really looked much more confident on the feet than I've ever seen.
Hopefully James heals quickly and returns.
I'm sure changing gyms before the fight and all the other stresses that come with a training camp with new group of guys will be easier the next time around.
Someones edited the video and removed mcsweeney landing a headkick and taking him down in the first? Jumps from 35seconds left to the end of the round...
That's pretty pathetic.....
Think this is the first time I've ever noticed a fight video be manipulated to make a fighter look better/worse....
james landed a couple of nice head kicks in the fight, surprised to see Roger outbox with the jab and that front teep to the abdomen was brutal... leading to the tko.
Ray mentioned the gym change and maybe that played a role. Hard to say or not.
Certainly striking was on point with 2 big KO wins in his last fight camps.
