AA's sambo has never meant much to me. i've never seen him do anything worthwhile with it, especially when he's gonna be fighting a guy who Minotauro once said has the best BJJ in MMA.
on one hand, you have AA, who is known for grabbing a straight ankle on a half-retarded Tim Sylvia, and an armbar in one of his first UFC fights against a can, that he got by using the fence, are not huge accomplishments. yeah AA won the jr. sambo championships, but that was like 8 years ago.
when this hits the mat, unless AA has been doing a lot of grappling, AA is going to get schooled something nasty, and lose either the round by being outmaneuvered, or get tapped.
