Paulo Miyao gets it done at the Brazilian Nationals in the Absolute

At 5:50, Vieira goes for the ankle as Miyao hits his Berimbolo, and quickly takes the back, and fights briefly to put in his second hook then quickly finishes around the 5:20 mark with a lapel choke from the back.
Christ.

 

UFC 173: Extended Preview - Dillashaw vs Barao, Henderson vs Cormier & Picks

Some great fights on this card.
The poster has Dillashaw looking like the consummate contender/challenger and Barao looking like Dracula.
I don't think Dillashaw has the salt and pepper for Barao.
I think Cormier can outgut and out athleticize old man Henderson, but perhaps not. Henderson has shown the ability to end it whenever and wherever inside the octagon.
Barao will top Dillashaw by 4th round stoppage in an increasingly one sided fight.
Cormier will outlast Henderson in a fight with some scary moments for Cormier, but he will ultimately push Henderson against the cage and perhaps put him on his back.
Lawler will KO a tentative on the feet Ellenberger who will try to bum rush Robbie and put him against the cage. Lawler may even spend parts of the first and second round on his back.
Mizugaki will take down, control and ultimately finish Rivera in the 1st round.
Varner will TKO Krause in an entertaining scrap that ends in the 3rd round.
On the undercard, my favorite Japanese fighter, Katsunori Kikuno will pick up a win with his unorthodox style and effective takedown game.

Return of Crouching Guard Passing: Paulo Miyao @ Brazilian Nationals

It was only a matter of time.
Whether it was Galvao vs Leandro Lo, or watching Gianni Grippo in some recent matches, persistent top players are now avoiding much of the dreaded berimbolo by refusing to pass form an even semi-standing position.

As you'll see below, Saggioro, around the 3 minute mark stays standing a bit too long and Miyao almost immediately inverts, and topples him over: making it to the back by the 3:38 mark.
Miyao hunts for the choke but loses back position by 4:38.
We see a couple minutes of closed guard work by Miyao and finds the window to Berimbolo around 6:30 followed by a leg drag to a 2nd back take.
