At the 2012 No-Gi Pan last Saturday in New York, Pablo Popovitch reigned supreme in the open weight black belt division, but at weight he had the brakes put on him by dark horse Ezra Lenon of ATT in the semifinal.
In their encounter, Lenon was training by four to one on advantage points when he managed to take a 2-0 lead with a sweep. Erza was only kept from winning by Gracie Barra’s Kleber Buiú in the final.
Popo didn't get the points for the back because he had his feet crossed, correct?
Correct. Ryan Hall ran into a similar situation at the Houston Open this year.
Pé cruzado nas costas não é ponto..bem lembrado!
Why he didn;t take the points for the back?
Becouse he crossed the Legs i told you guys A MILLION times dont cross the legs the Ref dont give points if legs are crossed or triangle around waste. First control with hooks for 3 secs to get the points and then do as you like. Tough luck for Popovits from the look of things he though he was ahead on points….
That rule is bullshit
With the rising reputation of the game, there has also been a rise in demand for MMA clothing.
Thanks.
