HE TALKS A WHOLE LOTTA SHIT BUT THEN HE DOES NOT BACK IT UP. HE WAS GASSED OUT AT ROUND TWO. ALTHOUGH HE THREW A DECENT LEG KICK AND SOME BODY SHOTS HE COULDNT PUT DOWN THE 95 POUND WEAKLING. THE BIGGEST PART OF JUNIES GAME IS HIS MOUTH. MABEY ONE DAY HE COULD BE A MMA COMMENTATOR......BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD AND A 12 STEP PROGRAM THERE GOES I..

He criticized Efran for just laying on his opponent all fight long, but Junie didn’t even lay on the guy. He just stood there and looked at Roli. All Junie wanted to do was stand up, and that says a lot about what he really thought of Roli’s jiu-jitsu. If it wasn’t for Roli being ok with having the fight on their feet, that fight would’ve gone nowhere.</b> Um, no it wouldn't. The ref would have forced him to stand up if he had refused to get back up. This isn't 1993 where a BJJ guy can lay on his back and refuse to get up because he doesn't want to strike. Junie wanted to keep the fight on the feet, nothing wrong with that, and Roli had literally no ability to take Junie down. If Roli had not been as you say "ok with having the fight on their feet" he would have had to forfeit cause he sure as hell couldn't force the fight to the ground. <b>matthew on October 25th, 2008 5:45 pm john, i completely agree.

I saw Roli backing away for most of the fight and trying to go to the ground at every opportunity, unfortunately he shoots like a twelve year old girl and couldn't take the fight where he wanted it. Don't confuse inability to secure a takedown with willingness to stand up. John on October 24th, 2008 8:49 am

Roli's willingness to engage was what made watching that fight, regardless of lack of power. Junie should be ashamed of his performance and should perhaps learn from some of the greater fighters that don't need to continually tell the world how great they are. I completely agree with the split decision. john, i completely agree. Roli’s willingness to engage was what made watching that fight, regardless of lack of power.
