It is tough to tell from this angle, but this is the modified inverted triangle choke/knee bar attempt. I was certain Ratcliff’s knee would hyperextend if he didn’t tap.
I’m still waiting for a good, clear photograph of this, as it was just beautiful. But Kid Nate’s Writeup and the Fightlinker GIF will have to hold me over. Enjoy.

Another good one highlighted over at BloodyElbow. Horodecki made a really fundamental error in turning his back to his opponent to create distance from an offensive barrage. As you can see here, he paid for it.

Here’s an excellent one to start the week. Highlighted over at BloodyElbow. I saw the headline first and was almost certain I’d be seeing a still of a flush knee to the testicles.
This past week, “The Office’s” resident social outcast, Dwight Schrute, fantasized of manhandling a rival co-worker. He let his scenario play out in his head until he began to get excited at the prospect of fighting for “$18,000 and a shot at the title.” Brian Bowles, who defeated Torres for the bantamweight title in August, made exactly that. This would be funny, if it weren’t so sad.
