Looking foreword to the Sonnen match more than ever… You’ll never see a gangster use a donkey guard

Sonnen is cut above his right eye. Not a great spot. Couldn’t tell what opened him up.

Body triangle = bad news @MetamorisPro

Galvao locked in the rear-naked choke. Good effort from Sonnen. But once the shutdown ended, that was it.

I might lay on my back but I almost never give my back. @MetamorisPro congrats Andre Galvao!

— Anthony Perosh (@AnthonyPerosh) August 10, 2014

Did Barnett just do for catch wrestling what machida did for karate a few years ago… “Welcome to the barnett era” ( @joerogan voice )

— Ryan Hall (@ryanhallbjj) August 10, 2014

Not enjoying watching this match whatsoever

— AL IAQUINTA (@ALIAQUINTA) August 10, 2014

Grappling is supposed to simulate a fight, turn your back in a fight you get you balls kicked in

— AL IAQUINTA (@ALIAQUINTA) August 10, 2014

Not a clue. @youjitsu is a stud! “@MeenJoeGreen: @kennyflorian did you really not know Jeff Glover would compete tonight?!?!”

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) August 10, 2014

I love watching @MetamorisPro !! This grappling is so interesting!!

— mayhem (@mayhemmiller) August 10, 2014

Let’s go @VinnyMMA. Remember that staph lock I showed ya.

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) August 10, 2014

“@JVanderhamByrne: @AnthonyPerosh Who wins this next match? Keenan or Vinny?” Hard to call this one. I’m tipping Keenan but probably a draw.

— Anthony Perosh (@AnthonyPerosh) August 10, 2014

Keenan won me over w/his hilarity #Metamoris4

Ground work was great between Saulo and Comprido. I need to get up in that mix. @MetamorisPro #Metamoris4 #BJJ

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) August 10, 2014

Very technical BJJ match between Saulo & Comprido. Match was a draw but I could watch another 20 mins! @MMAKanvas @UFC_Australia #Metamoris4
