chance control dropping elbows gain kept
I got him to the mat and kept dropping elbows on him. I kept hammering away at him, and he never really had a chance to gain control of the fight.
early ground hard man seen
I've only seen two of his fights, and it was hard to get a feel for him because he had his man on the ground most of the time. I'm going to have to feel him out early on and see what he's got.

animal people guy
I personally don't like eating animals. I'm not the kind of person that tries to preach to other people. But, for me, I don't feel right about doing it. That's the main reason why I stay vegetarian...I know the guys that have switched [to vegetarian] all swear by it-they say they love how it makes them feel.
