Even if he does lose the second time, he'll still be a good middleweight fighter, and probably top-ten non-UFC.

He was taking him to school in the first fight and he got sloppy and got caught in the arm bar, but you know he's been training arm bar defense/escapes like crazy in preparation for this next fight.

I think he did it in his fight with Babalu too as I recall. Was it a leg lock? I don't think Chael had any intention of tapping to Filho, but ref has to stop it if you scream in an armbar. Many times you can't tap if you're trying to use the other arm to defend. I hope Chael has been working on not screaming, he has some real potential IMO.
