Rubber Guard Watch: Vinicius “Pezao” Magalhaes on TUF 8

This is from last nights episode of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Gracie Barra Royler Gracie black belt, Vinnie “Pezao” Magalhaes, used rubber guard to absolutely destroy a more than game opponent. A work of art IMHO.

    what I don’t understand is how can Vinnie bad mouth eddie bravo yet he straight up uses 10pjj in his game. And he uses it as his base game because everytime I’ve seen him pull guard, he went straight for the rubber guard.
    Idk, what does everyone else think about someone like vinnie using 10pjj but bad mouths it and it’s creator?

    From my understanding he’s made some apologies and states how much he likes the game now.

    I see this same thing happening with 99.999998% of the 10th planet haters out there.

    The rest die of natural causes.

    LOL. The coolest thing of all is that if Vinnie wins in the finals we will see plenty of him and the 10th Planet System in the UFC. I worry about his lack of take down skills against better UFC fighters, but still he should be a blast too watch!

    It brings nothing but warmness to my heart to see a Gracie Barra black belt perform the Rubber Guard quite well!

    The fact that Vinny had words with or about Eddie and still uses 10th Planet Techniques is proof in the pudding. This is good for the mainstreaming of rubber guard. He obviously is smart, while hating on the creator, he still see’s the advantage it has in MMA and is giving Eddie props by continuing to win with it. Regardless if he knows it or not, everytime anybody in any tournament anywhere uses rubber guard, they are giving Eddie Bravo Props.

    Here is a good interview with the loser. Krzysztof sounded “extra” befuddled in his description of the fight. He didn’t realize he was getting set-up for the arm bar only that…

    “…I could feel his hips move right to the side for the arm bar. My hands were just trapped and I couldn’t get out.”

    You were in the Rubber Guard, baby! :)
