I also loved how this basically proved what I've been arguing since the Sonnen fight, Anderson was willing to stay on bottom to try to get the sub. Even when Big Nog is telling him to KO him, he's like no, I'm going to sub him

I cant wait till it comes out w/ DVD/BlueRay cause the one I got had all those paramount warning all over the screen

oh and last thing, Anderson son is going to be insane when he gets older, did you see at the end, the kid had sick ground game, specially for that age
I want to watch it again on Blu Ray too. It's really well made, definitely gives another perspective. He seems so level-headed and down to earth, which I think would be so hard if you had his fighting abilities.

It was really cool when he kept saying to Big Nog that he was going to sub Sonnen. I never seen that footage before either.

+ 1 It's MMA.

If wrestlers keep getting KO'd and they complain that they keep getting matched up with elite strikers, it's a similar argument. I think anyone going up against Rampage would try and take him down anyway. The smartest strategy is to find holes in the opponents games and Rampage is a bit like a turtle on his back against solid wrestlers.

MMA fighters need to be ready to go anywhere. I can understand if the match-up is purely based on entertaining the fans but if he plans to make a run for the title he needs to be able to put guys like Bader away, wrestler or not.
