- The greatest name in the history of humanity. I say it up to 400 times a day.
2. Round one against Chase Beebe. I know he lost the decision but I've never seen a one round clinic like that ever in a fight.
What is next for Mr. Yahya, is he fighting soon?
He's fighting Joseph Benavidez at the next WEC
Sweet. That will be a good matchup. Tough one for him, Benavidez is like a wind up toy, just keeps going.
The lack of Rani Yahya talk about Rani Yahya just days before Rani Yahya fights on Saturday night is disturbing to both me and probably Rani Yahya.

rani yahya
Frank Mir appreciates Rani's name too cause he says his name about 500 times when announcing his WEC fights.
awesome name.
2 more awesome things about him...
-He's 15-4 and does nothing but BJJ. Often fights like strikes aren't even allowed. I know he's doing stand up now, but if you look at his fights, he's trying to do the Gracies In Action style of fighting.
-His post fight interview after submitting Mark Hominick is a classic. When asked how the fight went he said "i dont remember man, haha, i don't even remember, he hits hard man, hehehe"
he got tapped in competition by a guy whos been training 5 years
Rani Yahya wasn't trying as hard as Rani Yahya could or else Rani Yahya wouldn't have been tapped.
ranier wolfcastle - he got tapped in competition by a guy whos been training 5 years
why does that matter? in that case lets think about everyone who got tapped by bj the year he was the first american to win the black belt mundials when he was only training for 4 years.
his technique is awesome - best north south choke in the game - hes doing awesome at 135 ( i think thats where hes fighting at) and could contend for the title
reason #3 to like Rani Yahya:
11 of his 15 fights are by choke.
he's an underdog in his upcoming fight, probably a good bet there.
The Situation -ranier wolfcastle - he got tapped in competition by a guy whos been training 5 years
why does that matter? in that case lets think about everyone who got tapped by bj the year he was the first american to win the black belt mundials when he was only training for 4 years.
Joel Tudor has some of the best triangles in the game. Travern got armbarred by Mir and I don't hold that against him.
it takes 10 years to master something, or 10000 hours
You can be pretty damn good after a year or 2 let alone 5.
Chase Beebe vs Rani Yahya sounds like a Pokemon fight
he kicked a competitor in the head at a bjj tourney. so i guess, no striking in mma, but kicks in bjj
Rani has sick technique. Best north south choke. Remember when he fought Kid; I thought he was going to get killed. But, he was swinging back at Kid just as hard.
They need to get Lil Jon to ring announce his fights, lol
CompanyBlue, that has always been one of my favorite post-fight interviews...
Glad Rani's arm healed up & he's back in the ring!
