Sorry about the forum: how do I move it into the right one?

Blood or sweat can make it easier to sink the forearm under the neck, and when its sunk in and you lock a hold of your bicep no matter how wet you are it's not going to be easy to get out of. When the phantom tap happened Jon moved his head to the other side of tommys head I think to see what was going on and he may have loosened it up a bit.

and in that second round as soon as Jon threw that kick I knew it was over.

also it sucked to see how much he was down on himself so much

War War Machine's Return to future UFC battles!

And did you know his Dad died? I wish the producers of the show would have brought this to our attention a little more.

Solid post! You haven't watched the show yet, but you come into a thread that's obviously about the outcome of the show and crucify the guy. Nice job, bro.

there can't be any hate on war machine. I mean common sherdoggers.. lets think about this, he may have some mental problems but who the fuck doesn't. Who hasn't doubted there self? He had a rough life and probably really doesn't have many people to lead him the right way and not to mention it did seem like TUF made him seem always depressed but from what ive seen all season is that he is an upbeat funny guy. That day that Joey lost the first fight to mac and those guys crossed him name out and he saw it and said you should just circle the winner. He means no harm to anyone and only wants good. He's also a teacher of MMA and was quoted saying something along the lines of everything he did in his fight is what i tell my students not to due. Like not trying to flatten tommy out first and weaken him up with punches before sinking in the RNC. Not to mention we saw no stand up and I have a feeling it's pretty lethal. That first punch came outta no where. I can't wait to see this kid fight in the Final.
