Tibau probably lays on Hermes for 3 rounds. Not really a fight I’m excited about seeing live. Tibau probably lays on Hermes for 3 rounds.

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:21:14 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=4908#comment-42987 i like this fight.. i think Frana really needs to work on making his guard more active.. he's got some of the best BJJ in the sport, but rather than moving and working for positions, he tries to explode with submissions.. much like his striking game.. you know, instead of setting up shots, he just randomly throws bombs.. it's the same way in his ground game, he just explodes with an armbar out of nowhere and if it fails he goes right back to getting pounded.. he's got GREAT stand-up and a GREAT ground game.. he just needs to tune both of them up a little bit.. i hope he does.. oh, and for God's sake.. HIT THE TREADMILL FOOL!!! you'd think a successful LW would have good Cardio.. as for Gleison.. i don't think he's doing anything wrong.. i like this fight..

We are going to see some hot animated cloud on animated cloud action! That picture of Franca looks a bit animated cloudish (with multicolored hair) as well.

That is completely unrelated to fighting but seriously, look at him and try to compare him to what your conception of an animated cloud is. You will see it.

It's crazy to think that the lightweight division is so deep that one of these guys is going to be cut. It looks like the loser of this fight is going to be out of the UFC.

I guess franca practices take down defence too much cos he is so comfortable on his back, always working for something could be good, always like watching hermes, and gleison is often game but doesnt seem able to finish fights at the moment.

I hope franca learns some takedown defense or he won't be able to compete at the top level much longer with guys like Stevenson, Griffin, Huerta, Guida all knocking on the door. Any of those guys would get him down and keep him down. I like this fight.
