Even the biggest believers in the Mayan calendar may agree that the world is ending a lot sooner than anyone could have predicted.
Why is that? Cage Potato has come across video footage of UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen practicing Jiu-Jitsu.
It’s unbelievable considering that Sonnen has a long-standing feud with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, and has taken this grudge to include any Black House MMA or Brazilian fighter.
While YouTube no longer has the video available, most fans recall that Sonnen called Jiu-Jitsu “gay” long before he ever fought Anderson Silva.
One quote from Sonnen that could be found reads as follows:
“Even if I could get a submission, I’m not laying under a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide TV. There are some guys who subscribe to that theory, but I’m a Republican. We don’t do that.”
Yet, low and behold, here is a video of Sonnen demonstrating an omoplata. It is rarely seen in MMA, but a move that is fairly often attempted in Jiu-Jitsu circles.
To put things into perspective, last December, Sonnen filmed a series of move tutorials when he was on the cover of, believe it or not, Black Belt magazine.
For those readers familiar with BJJ, do you think Sonnen did a good job of explaining the move?
