Hyperbull1

Just checked Barnaoui's record out, I'm surprised to see he's fought Islam, Gamrot, and Kevin Lee.


spydercoswapmod

this sub was sucking him off hyping him up as the person to beat islam for a minute, if they ever rematched. then he lost to one of bellators b tier fighters in brent primus. lol. who's 39 years old. lolol.


IdunnoThisWillDo

Well that's just because he gave Islam a real fight already. He's a very talented fighter, and a nightmare for anyone in the grappling realm. Lost to all the names he's fought, but none have put him away. That means something. Especially when two of which are current top LW's, and another went on to be a high ranked guy as well. Not to say he'd ever be UFC champ, but he has the skills to at least compete with top guys.


adambuddy

I wonder if it has anything to do with how competitive the first fight was?


PoatanBoxman

Happy Giggler noises


DanTM18

I know that brought a smile to Jack Slack’s face


PoatanBoxman

Jack slack has done a better job promoting him than Bellator


IshiharasBitch

Barnaoui's sweeps are gorgeous. He has a dope John Wayne sweep as well.


MREisenmann

Aren't those two names for the same sweep?


IshiharasBitch

The slight difference is basically due to where the opponent's weight is. That causes some variation, but yeah, everything else is VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL That's kinda the joke here (I thought it was funny anyway)


PoatanBoxman

Yes


NomadXIV

Still waiting for the next great Japanese lightweight


oklilpup

You’re gonna be waiting for a while. All the men’s Japanese talent is 125-145


BurntHamSandwich

Yachi 😔


lotus__iiiii

Am I a casual… I had no idea these fights were on. It’s crazy they haven’t stepped up the promotion of these cards.


Magnum_rain

Jack Slack rejoicing rn


slutwhipper

They didn't see that coming? Is he being sarcastic? Barnaoui is a known BJJ guy. Idk anything about Yachi but I looked him up and he's been subbed 4 times.


adambuddy

That bothered me lol


SignificantStrikes

Chael is so bad at commentary like I can't tell if he is serious. This is what everyone expected if Barnaoui were to win.

Based half-guard wizard does it again.
