and from MMAWeekly.com:
"Jeff Glover def. Caio Terra by points 10-6
Kron Gracie def. Victor Estima by one advantage
Rafael Lovato def. Lucas Leite by points 2-0
Bill Cooper def Nino Schembri by referee’s decision after tie in points and advantages
Kyra Gracie def. Alexis Davis 5-0"

I've heard internet rumblings about both sides accusing the other of not making weight.
I'm going to let the dust settle and the gossip hounds chill out before I comment.
I was also not aware Leite was subbed in for Kayron due to injury, but no way would I have bet on Leite against Lovato and his ridiculously long frame.

T.G.I.F. - The Guillotine is Friday - Nate Diaz Edition

This is my serious face. And your guillotine is no good here.

I've had two earlier posts about the guillotine which were pretty popular.
Admittedly, the guillotine is not a high percentage submission for me. If and when I hit it, it is from mount or in MMA-style drilling up against the cage.
Other than those two, the only time I actually hit something like a guillotine is from a D'Arce grip and then I step over into mount.

My two previous posts about the guillotine are HERE and HERE

This edition of the Guillotine is brought to you by Graciemag and in spirit from the younger half of the Stockton roughneck rebels Nate Diaz.
The video comes from Jordont Schultz, someone I've covered HERE and HERE before and has recently left Alliance to join Lloyd Irvin.

Without further ado, here we go:





Happy Trainingz!

World Jiu-Jitsu Expo Superfight Predictions

Now, I have not seen the rules for the superfights coming up at this weekend World Jiu-Jitsu Superfights, but the matches and my predictions are as follows:

Nick Diaz vs. Bráulio Estima (No-Gi)         - Braulio by triangle - props to Nick Diaz for jumping into the
                                                                    shark tank. Hopefully he does better than GSP did in ADCC

Kayron Gracie vs. Rafael Lovato Jr (Gi)     - Kayron by sweep then guard pass

Victor Estima vs. Kron Gracie (Gi)             - Kron by  2 advantages. I think he was tired from the Absolute
                                                                    which hindered his performance at the Pans.

Nino Schembri vs. Bill Cooper (Gi)            - Cooper by ? I haven't watched him play much as of late  

Kyra Gracie vs. Alexis Davis (No-Gi)        -   Kyra by head/arm triangle

Caio Terra vs. Jeff Glover (No-Gi)             -  Caio by sweep and 2 advantages

In other Expo news, here's an article about Otavio Sousa (a guy I've posted about quite a bit on here, who comes from Gracie Barra Pernambuco, one of the places I trained while visiting Brazil).
Here's a mount attack from the man himself, Otavio Sousa:
