Mirko4life Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 He KO'ed Koscheck, that already scores major points for me. He submits Mike Swick, not as many points as a KO over Kos(because I hate Kos lol) but still impressive. He's part/was part(not sure if he's still with them) of Brasil's special forces. That reminds me of Mirko so it's a very good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixshoota Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah I really like Thiago too, very well-rounded, and I think he has a good chin because I can remember Kos hitting him with some big shots in that fight and he took them like a champ. There is a bright future for Thiago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangasm Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Paulo needs to work on his stand up before he gets tougher opposition. He's got all the KO power he needs but he has no technique whatsoever. Did anyone else see him repeatedly flail his arms like a scared girl when Swick threw a shot? I cracked up. Love the guy but he needs a boxing lesson or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the guy but he needs a boxing lesson or two. Seriously, I think his standup has improved immensely, he's a counter puncher and when he "flails his arms" he's trying to knock down Swicks punches to hit him with a counter, which he did. He could use some more fluididty in his style but he's no scared little girl, this guy gets shot at on a day to day basis by brazilian drug dealers, yeah he's real worried about getting punched. P.S. That D'arce choke was sick, reeeeeeeeeeeeal sick Hush little swickey don't say a word, Paulo's going to buy you a mockingbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, GSP is leagues ahead of this guy at this point but he could prove to be a challenge down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
