Hughes and Tito faught eachother in a grapplin match!?? never knew that one, can someone post the vid??
or fill me in on what the hell went down??
Out of all of those matches the only one I have seen is the Tito/Hughes one. Tito towers over Hughes, and if memory serves me right I do believe Hughes lost pretty convincingly.
yeah, baby!!! FIRST… again!!! haha
You are soooo cool. I can only hope that one day I am blessed with the opportunity to say “yeah, baby!!! FIRST… again!!! haha” when I was actually the 2nd poster.
God I really need to start getting into these. When is the next one? Does ABCC have its own site? WHo is gonna be in the next one?
Oh and boardRIDER……..F you.
3rd!!!
I think that the people who actually believe that being first to post is some sort of great achievement, should also write down how old they are, I swear they can’t old enough to be allowed to watch MMA. If they are they need to get a life, or a girlfriend.
LOL. Their post should include how old they are and if they have a girlfriend. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
i hope thry stream this live over the net like last year over 2 days. i diidnt buy it then but will this year.
What’s more annoying, the dumb*ss who posts “1st”, or the 20 people who take up even more space b*tching about it? Hmmmm………have to think on that one.
If anybody has seen this video, please let me know if its worth purchasing.
tito and hughes is on youtube.i love adcc and getting to see guys like roger gracie, jacare, ROBERT DRYSDALE!!!(drysdale is gonna be so awesome at mma) before they get into mma doing what they do best.
anybody out there still believes Tito has no sub/defense skills and needs to ‘fret’ about Machida’s bjj? They used to introduce Tito as a submission grappler! lol. I know. I haven’t seen 1 either and i forget which fight that Rogan said it but he said something to the effect of …
“Tito knows bjj but hey says he chooses not to use it because when you tap someone out, they come back for more, but when you beat on their head all night, they’ll remember”
