Bellator: Bringing The Hits…

Written on May 13th, 2009 by goatdieselone shout

I showed you the luckily skilled “inverted triangle”  last week and at their next event Bellator scored another highlight reel video when Yahir Reyes knocked out Estevan Payan.  Using the “Mr. International” AKA Shonie Carter, Reyes caught Payan with a spinning backfist right on the button.  Check the full facial landing…

Peace!

Toby Imada: Lucky or Skilled?

Written on May 5th, 2009 by goatdiesel2 shouts

I’ve said it a million times on this site “I love MMA” and to most of you out there on the internets there is only one place to watch MMA, the UFC.  For a MMA freak like me, there are plenty of places offering fights but far few put on anything that is even worth my time and definitely my money for PPV.  Don’t get me wrong, there are more than a handful of organizations that DO put out good fights and I love supporting the little guys but some people just try to cash in on the “craze” and really make the sport look bad.

One of those up and comers that I respect is Bellator fighting and at their last event I saw a fight finish in a way I have absolutely NEVER seen before.  The only video I could find of this actually runs 1:06 and kind of shows how the fight was going up to the point of the mystery move (I will reveal the move after the clip)   So with that I ask you readers : Was this luck or skill???  Check the video and let me know.

The move was actually an inverted triangle choke. Most of you have seen a triangle but it is usually applied by the fighter on the bottom of the guard with their victim postured over top of them. This move was sick and definitely original as far as “in fight” goes. Well done Toby Imada and Bellator for putting on a good card.

Peace!
