Observations From My Couch: Affliction's "Day of Clobbering"

  • Bobby Green really, really, really hates nuts. Like, really.
  • Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Living proof that judo's submission game has only a third of the calories of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, yet with just as much flavor.
  • Vitor Belfort didn't just knock Matt Lindland the heck out, he knocked Lindland back into infanthood. For a while there I thought the ringside physicians were going to have to change "The Law's" diaper and give him a pacifier.
  • Gilbert Yvel proved he sure could take a beating. Josh Barnett proved he sure could dish one out.
  • There are other more spectacular ways Andrei Arlovski could have lost to Fedor. I cannot, however, think of a single one of them.

Proving Grounds Postscript

Solid event. Jamie Torres, Ryan Castillo, Rex Ocorr and Chris Wing stood out. Watch for them in the future.
