Which one was that again? Not coming to me.

Brought to you by Corn Nuts. Where both men where hit this round. Corn Nuts.

Bet he's going right for the takedown in the third. That takedown at the end of the second was just a test to see how easy it would be.

Ugh. Where/were typo. Freakin Vodak.

C'mon Hioki, don't play it safe.

Hioki is outclassing him on the feet and on the ground.

Damn you.

Hehehe. It's all due to the fast typing required for a fast joke on the nfl threads. product of my environment.

And vodak.

As annoying as Rogan can get this is why I love having him cageside. Very few can explain the grappling game without getting too technical for the casual fan.

Seriously. We all make fun of him but I'd rather have no one else call UFC. Joe knows his shiat so well.

That was a farking CLINIC.

Phenomenal grappling skills.

Gotta agree. Hated him on Fear Factor, but even though I started watching MMA around UFC 3... he keeps teaching me things, so I can't hate him.

10-8 Hioki. Ground game is all Hioki's. More likly a 10-9 but I'm generous with the domination of the ground game of Hioki. 29-26

Showtime went Showtime again

Dominant fight. I presume one that was booked that way for the hometown fans.

I train for this long time!

I like how he pulls off an insane grappling showcase, and his comments in the end are just, "thanks for saying nice things, I have plenty I need to improve"...

Humble.

Odd that the japanese translator used the english word "striking" to convey that concept to Hioki. You;d think a nation that (sorta) originated karate wouldn't need to borrow the word from a foreign language.

Why is the translator girl using a pen that a 10 year old girl would use?

That's Japan for ya. I love it.

I demand Okami game jokes now

On iPhone so I can't post the pics

Please refer to my previous comment. :)

Okami. If you'd just stuck to the gameplan you had a shot at beating Silva. Ah well.

yookaloco: That's Japan for ya. I love it.

True that, and the respectful/knowledgeable crowd is a welcome change for a UFC show.

Well he didn't finish it to be fair. Had he finished he probably would have said the same thing though.

Kid Rock? Yep.. You need to lose for this shiat. Fark you, fark you very much Tim.
