Didn't Pettis break a rib trying it on Poirier?
Nuts he spun out of that body triangle. Dude must be made out of cartilage only.
Yeah, people called Pettis fragile, but anyone that has been caught in a body triangle knows how dangerous it is. It really, really hurts, and spinning into it puts most of the pressure on one side of the body. Even if you make it, it bruises you up inside really badly.
This is pretty much a retirement fight for Jacare.
Win and the UFC won't give him shit anyway.
Lose and he isn't sniffing a title anyway.
I hope my boy gets a win. War Jacare!

The Hermansson inverted arm triangle is tricky as fuck and can surprise people. However, BJJ coaches really know how to defend it. We absolutely had a couple of talks in the mats the weekend after his last fight talking about the best ways to get out. Jacare absolutely has seen this before.
Also: by trying it on Jacare, he has given every single future opponent enough tape to try game plan around it. Not smart.

I know Hermansson is in shape, but a couple weeks is not enough to get 5 round cardio. Add the travel plans and weight cutting, shit, he might not have even trained that much for this fight. Just running on the conditioning from his previous one.
I think Hermansson was timing him better. You have to drop your hands hard to go for the body and Hermansson was going at his head when he did.
Man, if Jacare just through those body shots every round it likely would have been a much different fight.
Very impressive performance by Hermansson and two massive wins for him in less than a month.
He came on pretty strong in the 5th. I can see the 3rd and 5th.
