Jimmerson and his one fucking glove what an idiot. He didn’t even get punched he just freaks out and taps while he’s mounted. Superfoot Wallace was the announcer he didn’t know a damn thing, and fucking Jim Brown.

Yvel fits in so well over in Japan. Dream can turn into a bigger circus then Pride was at times. He is entertainment though. Overeem is going to smash Yvel.

well.. he IS a loser, you know..

i believe he’s the one that tapped out to Royce without even having a sub applied on him.. after being mounted for so long he just tapped..
no pain. no threat to physical health. he was just.. scared?? stressed?? chlosterphobic??

either way..
he’s a loser..

my dad was making jokes during that fight, like:

Royce Gracie was probably whispering in his ear, “I’m about to start punching, you should probably tap soon..”

Rich S., you call Art Jimmerson a loser ONE more time and we’re gonna have some words.

ya, i was wondering why Yvel has gloves on and Semmy doesn’t..

i’m sure the only explanation is that it was an organization that didn’t require gloves, but, Yvel just wore them for protection, or comfort, etc..

just like that loser that came to one of the early UFC’s with ONE boxing glove on..

Wondering the same thing….

Why does Gilbert have gloves and Semmy have no gloves in the pic?

Darrin: Yeah, he’s about due for one. It’s been a few years.

My favorite Yvel fight is his kickboxing match against Ray Sefo in which Sefo DESTROYS him with legkicks and smiles the whole time. It’s classic.

I have Yvel down to lose at least one of these three fights by DQ.

Sam, maybe a happy medium would be a post-story caption?

Something, possibly in italics, along the lines of: Yvel taking on Semmy Schilt at a RINGS event in 1999.

And yes, I had to look that up. =)

That is indeed Schilt. When we upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, we thought we’d be able to do captions. But I am having problems keep the margin set properly whenever I add a caption.

Is that Yvel cracking Schilt?

This is one of the various times I wished 5 Oz. had captions with the pics or in the article a reference to the pic somehow… (pictured right), etc.

Excellent website, otherwise.
