That was a very impressive performance. This guy must surely have a big future in MMA. Hopefully someone can post some pics/vids in here. Could be a future champ at 155lb. |

Just surprised I've not seen more discussion on this fight. I thought this was setup as a shoe-in for Kitaoka so the Jap fans to celebrate an easy submission victory... |

Kicks to the head on the ground when both guys are grounded should be legal, shame it isnt in the US. |

EckY - For sure, big part of keeping grapplers honest Definitely looking to see Brooks fight again that suplex he hit was insane. Im sure UFC and Bellator will both be calling |

Brooks is seriously a good fighter. Ive seen him fight on the local circuit in Chicago and he's always been impressive. Hopefully UFC picks him up. Im sure Monty Cox is on it.... |

Matt Phillips - Hopefully UFC picks him up? Why, so they can give him 2 fights a year, and probably will never have a chance for a title shot? He has better luck signing with OneFC, probably get more fights there, whether you think OneFC has no competition. Fuck UFC. |

Will is a good friend and has spent most of his career fighting for us at the XFO. Great kid, super talented, a rising star for sure. When it was announced he was going to fight Aoki on NYE I actually got voted down in the thread because I thought he could hang and possibly win. Kid is a talent for sure and a 155lber to watch. Used to train with Clay Guida at Midwest Training Center and just recently went to ATT and Jackson's before this camp. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/738361_576467419034527_609398709_o.jpg |

Stay with Dream/OneFC, or does he want to fight in the States/Unified rules. |

Monte's been trying to get him into the UFC for about a year now. Clearly didn't happen but happy for him with the Bellator move |

I was told they passed him over for TUF. Their loss. |

Immaculata - I was told they passed him over for TUF. Their loss. They did pass...he was technically an alternate. Will is a very quiet guy, not boastful and definitely not outspoken like they wanted in the house. I think that had a lot to do with it. He certainly wouldn't have been drunk asking people to "let him bang." |

would have been good to have a silent assassin type in the house. he'll do well in bellator. but ultimately he looks ufc bound. |
