fighting: balletofviolence: Knee Bar yeahhh I’m just going to keep reblogging your amazing pictures and let you do the work today. :)  Look at the expression on his face.  Pure heart. Heart.  This is Saulo Ribeiro, not just looking for a knee bar against the giant (comparatively) Jeff Monson, but searching his soul to see how much fight he had left in him.  He got neither the knee bar, nor the win.  After the match, he announced his retirement from competition.
