Has anybody wearing a gi actually won a mma fight since Royce Gracie?
Dumbass taking his gi off in the middle of the fight.
love it
yeah…. first time I saw this. wtf would he throw his gi off in the middle of the fight?!!!
He was going to lose anyway, but him throwing off his gi was what got him knocked down. He didn’t get his hands up fast enough and Wanderlei moved in for the kill. What a dumb move.
Head stomps and soccer kicks were the best during pride days… I miss pride fights.
Wandy’s my hero!
PRIDE was the best!
how i miss the old wanderlei, the stare down, the aggressive pounce, he’s such a pitbull, almost always finishes fights…love it! way to make the guy pay for trying to make a statement (”let me throw off my gi, i’m ready to fight”)…yeah, right…
great fight. great ending.
thanks for posting.
gis dnt belong in mma anyways
Wandy is my favorite fighter, and I know it was dumb to take of the gi in the middle of the fight, but I can’t help feeling it was kind of lame way to see it end. The fight went from ‘oh shit he’s throwing off his gi’… to ‘oh lame’.
Nakimura should go down to 185. he is a very little lightheavy weight.
what’s the point of a freakin’ short-sleeved gi.. seriously..
why would you wear a gi it gives your opponent more to work with
That statement is EXACTLY the reason a fighter would wear a gi. If you know anything at all about how to use the jacket then you have a huge advantage. Of course, you need sleeves so I don’t know what he was thinking.
Pride was far superior to the shows the UFC puts on nowadays.
Yoshida always wear a gi
