UFC Fight Night video of George Sotiropoulos Vs Roman Mitichyan. |
george was my pick for tuf
Solid Ground-Game baby. Like Rogan said. He was the best fighter on TUF.
Hah. The Armenians are dropping like flies against decent opposition.
great fight,thanks for the video
finally! ive been waiting for ever! yeah!! goo Mr.Aborigen!
George is the real deal. He looks ripped also. Wonder if he smells nice? GEORGE!!!!!
Impressive performance by George.
Sotiropolous crushed him - I thought Roman might do ok after that first wrestling session, but after the first time George got his back, the fight was pretty much over. Brilliant display of BJJ, but I still hate the punk hehe.
Great fight i still think George should of been in the final with The MAC but he got the poked in the eye and that really fucked him up in the fight with tommy
yeaaaaaah!!
Good fight go the AUSSIE!!!
I pretty much agree that he was the best of the bunch in the TUF show. Anyhow solid game, really well rounded and I think he has a real future in the UFC.
Go George!
Total domination.
Great to see a fellow Will-Machado BJJ student kick some arse!
George should have bee in the finals, TOmmy Speer fought dirty, what a chump.
As for Armenian’s dropping like flies, remember 3 fought that night, Manny Gamburian made his opponent look like an amateur.
George is a very skilled bjj fighter, he hung in there with Shinya Aoki after repeat attempts at leg locks, so to think Roman was even close to the ground game level as George was insane. This is just a display of how well versed George is as a fighter. Its a make it or break it situation for George considering hes getting old, so 1 or 2 losses in the UFC is probably going to be the end for him. Either expect a big run to the title, or a slow painful drop out of mma. Good Luck!
what did you expect?
greek vs armenian.
Impressive display by George. He should get a step up in opponent next time around — maybe a striker with good takedown defense.
Great Fight from Sotiro!!
he’s going to do great things in the WW division..
his loss to Tommy on the show was a complete mistake.. i don’t think Tommy has a “big right hand”, i think he just got a lucky punch.. plus, George took a poke to the eye so he couldn’t block intelligently..
Sotiro’s just another one of those guys that you don’t even want to stand with.. but you definately don’t want to take him to the ground..
extremely well-rounded..
“As for Armenian’s dropping like flies, remember 3 fought that night, Manny Gamburian made his opponent look like an amateur.”
Manny did destroy his opponent, too bad nobody gave a fuck after his classless kick in the beginning. I understand the ref says come out and fight and touching gloves is suppose to be done before the fight starts, but then why the fuck do you come out and raise your hand to sucker someone into a cheap shot. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the night turned out to be a bad display for the Armenian fighters.
why don’t he buck the guy of him. knee him in the back while his on top like that arch your back move onto your side squirm around don’t just lay there like a virgin on her prom night.. i’ve seen fighters do that.. keeping an opponent off center, place a little difficulty on the guy while he’s teeing off on you like that (sheez).. why do some guys just lay there like dead fish when an opponent passes his guard.. i don’t get it..
Gamburyan fought a 40 year old who is now 0-2 in the UFC. I’d think that’s a far cry from ‘decent opposition’.
Who said it was decent opposition? I said Manny made the guy look like a joke. As for Manny’s classless kick, why does no one care about Diaz’s classless display of arrogance?
frank shamrock, that is what i said man. yet people still think he’s the shit. lol. george did damn good, but i still hate the guy as a person, but that’s not what matters.
Screw Manny… no class act from that asshole.
Screw Tommy Speer, farmboy got really lucky.
WAR GEORGE!!!!!
yo FRANK SHAMROCK and renzeo, what are you talkin bout?
roman isnt an american so i dont know where u get that idea.
how many of the fights did u watch?
i’m guessing just the aurelio, gamburyan, and this fight (wich again didnt have an american fighter)
same to u sunfish.
Some good grappling.. mostly on george’s part but roman deserves credit for surviving so many close calls in the first round. But Dang! George is about 5 yrs older than I thhought he was
dude sat on top of him too long. after you win, get off!! disrespectful just staying on top looking down. george gotta be pushed off. someone should knock him out again and make him cry
i don’t understand why fighters just lay there and get punched in the face… why not pull an anderson silva against a lutter mount and at least attempt to use the legs. It blows my mind. It’s high on the list of anything i would do to keep from gettting punched in the face… mind bogling
Rhetro,
Manny, Roman and Karo are all Armenian. They were all born in Armenia, they may be American citizens now, but it doesn’t change the fact that they ARE Armenian.
As for Marcus Aurelio, he’s Brailian, not Armenian. Were you high when you typed that?
Getting out of a stable mount is harder than it looks, George is strong and an excellent grappler, he has a fantastic base. If you try to sweep, it uses the whole body, not just the legs. You have to be willing to get hit a couple of times if you want to go for a sweep, or you have to have amazing core strength. Would you want to put your hands down for a second if you had a guy like George mounted on you? You’re best bet is to use the cage to roll out of it. Or give up your back in hopes that you can defend the choke. It’s a good position to be in for a reason, it’s NOT easy to get out of, you go from one bad position to another.
As for A. Silva, he’s insanely flexible, that’s like saying everyone should be able to do an excellent rubber guard like BJ Penn, few people are as flexible as those guys. They’re champs for a damn good reason. Don’t compare guys who aren’t even on the top 10 to the guys at the top of the game.
WTFFFFFF ROMAN LOST!!!
