I have alot of respect for Atencio. Despite being the manager of Affliction first and foremost he's a massive fan of this sport. Its interesting to see the polar opposites that he and Dana are. Shame Dana didnt put his money where his mouth is and throw down with Atencio. Would have been a good fight for MMA in terms of promotion and then Dana would really get to see what this sport is REALLY about. Has Atencio been training with Chute Boxe? Or was that his best Wandy impression?
Yep, i agree, very well said, Scurla. I've got alot of time and respect for Tom also, he really showed what he's about, great performance. I read an article that said Tom's trained by Rafael Cordero from Chute Box. http://www.aroundtheoctagon.com/?p=1789
I was more impressed then I thought I'd be. Great heart and recupritive skills. 2 Nice takedowns and a decent sprawl, looked to be pretty agressive even when hurt, obviously his ground game and submissions aren't that good but he did scramble up to his feet a few times from the bottom. All in all I was pretty impressed with his performance. Also liked him telling Dana White to **** off hahaha.
Same here, i was really surprised too, i never expected that! Honestly, that was one of the best fights i've seen, really exciting fight.
