Of Amir and Armbars

Amir catches C.B. in an armbar to get the submission victory. Um, again.



Awesome. The consensus about Amir was that his opponents tended to underestimate him going into fights, which supposedly gave him the opportunity to secure surprise victories from behind. But for whatever reason, in a rematch against a good fighter who had to know that an armbar was coming, Amir managed to get the arm anyway and make him tap. Naturally, I was marking out and bouncing around the couch like an idiot the entire time. Given his personality, it's sort of tough to place him in anything but the underdog role, but it looks like this kid could be a really, really good fighter.
