@Shawn Lattimore specially forest was known to not give up for any beating..... But silva made it look so easy

[@floatinggoose9197]

Not me. In my head, I usually get a chest to chest body lock, or over/under. Then I use my right foot for an outside trip backwards. If i can't get the trip I switch to a hip toss, or just drag them down into half guard or side control. Then I put the top of my head in their jaw and nose, or start looking for short little elbows. I like to hug that side control CLOSE to the chest. This plan is for non wrestlers and hay maker throwing cavemen. In my head of course. I would never grind my elbows into a drunk guys eyebrows after he shoulder bumped me in a 711 doorway, using the asphalt as a cushion for the back of his head. I'd literally never do that, cause I can't fight for shit, and it's in my head.

It also speaks to how controlled his movements and emotions are during the fight.

It also initially enabled him to have a lethal leg strike to the face when anyone sat on top of him and tried to punch and elbow him to death.The heel in the face blow was almost certain knockput, but inexplicably the MMA banned the move as illegal!
