yeah man, hopefully you get on the alternate list or maybe get an offer for a bigger org some where. i though you looked really good until larson did his best impression of a blanket.

Hey guys sorry for my shtty performance. Although I do think I won the fight that's not at all how good I can fight....just overall shitty 9 days being locked in a hotel without any phone. And the Only working out I could do was treadmill running for about twenty minutes a day. But hey no excuses at least I have time to play tycoon and get my ass in shape....thanks for all the love guys

Losing feels like shit
Jeff

you should have seen the amount of tycooners in chat cheering you on, even mike showed up for it!

[Eversor]

You went out like a man, trying to finish the other guy. Made me a fan of Jeff Smith fighting style.

What u felt when the referee was geting close to you on the sub atempt?
Do you feel u let the sub a bit looser and u could have won without it?

5mn decision don't really looks like a loss to me.

[garycoffey15]

Definitely a tough one tough one to take id say thought u would have gotten the decision. Nice to see you go after it and try finish the fight tho looking forward to seeing you fight again

[PBR]

yea i was wondering if you let up on the kneebar a little also -- it looked like it then seemed like the ref said something then you went back for it -- just wondering if something was said or if you thought he tapped

was very close fight but i would of gave it to you cause of going for finish and trying to end the fight -- usa judges seem to like and favor the dominate position and control though

your still a winner though

[Nicko19]

Great fight! You looked really smooth with your transitions, and I thought that kneebar was it! Your opponent didn't look very good against you, just holding you down so you couldn't tap him!

[toejam98]

you did your thing dude, and you looked amazing on the ground. You showed more in that loss then 90% of the guys who won did.

I think you shoulda won, you beat him standing up, and if it stayed on the ground it would've only been a matter of time till he was tapping. Unfortunatly 1 round fights don't favor a BJJ guy.

Must admit one of your transitions was really good, probably the best I seen out of all the fighters in the house. Your submissions were really good, I wouldn't be surprised if you sort of let go of that kneebar, anytime we train in leg submissions we always have to be careful incase you break the other persons leg.

Oh and that's not a loss. 1 round MMA fight? That's just complete balls. You could get a wrestler going in, get an early takedown and basically Lay and Pray the whole fight and get into the house. Your striking looked better, transitions looked a lot better and subs were really good too. If you would of got into the house, I would think you would've been one of the favourites to win.

Unfortunatly 1 round fights don't favor a BJJ guy.

This imo is true. BJJ look for a sub, if they dont get the sub, they're usually on their back and so don't usually win the round cause the other fighter would win through control. 3 round MMA fights gives BJJ fighters a lot more time to get a sub.
