I hate to rain on Smiling Garb's parade but I saw the fight (3rd row in the press area) and Freitas took a beating. Yeah he quit (and I will rip on him for that on my show) but you would too if your gave up nearly 10 pound weight advantage, 5 inch reach advantage and were getting pasted with some hard right hands to the chops. It was a mixed emotion for me. On one hand I was happy that all those damn Brazilians finally stopped pounding their stinkin drums, their bloody high piercing whistles and their cowbells (anybody who sits next to them... I would pardon then immediately for breaking those stupid drums over their head). On the other hand my beautiful muse Rio Mariah (a sexy and gorgeous woman on www.riomariah.com) i bet will be heartbroken that her contryman lost. And oh yeah Corrales is a fucking convicted wife beater. So either way I had no rooting interest in this fight.

If he quit he quit, and it seems like he would have gotten pasted if he didn't quit. What's the difference if he had disadvantages in reach and weight? A lot of fighters rise above these disadvantages to overcome- this one did not.

Agree with chico totally, fighting isn't marathon-running and there's no shame in quitting. There's a moment when you realize you've got nothing left or you threw everything you could and more at your opponent and it didn't work---after that, it's not a challenge anymore, just dangerous. i fuck around with gracie j-j in the winters a few times a week and since it's more or less drop-in, the skill levels vary,. you're not considered less of a man if you give up when someone has your arm in a position to break it at will-you're stupid if you don't. respecting when someone taps out/etc. is something i've never seen violated, anyone who does better be so good they never have to train, because people won't get near them.

jamesn-where do you train at? I trained with Royce Gracie at first,then moved on to Beverly Hills Jujitsu Club,before settling at RAW Training Center with Rico Chipperelli and Frank Trigg. I'm going to start training with the Machados soon,so that should be a blast.

hey, i'm on the east coast and go to a place called boston brazillian jiu-jitsu, run by this dude roberto maia(maya?). He's 1st degree and trained under robson and carlos, so for something a few miles away I'm lucky. It's got open mats and usually there's a dozen or so guys all over the place skills-wise, which is fine, if people are nasty they still get to work on experimenting with new ways to start and the other person gets better through osmosis and learning by doing. i do it mainly to have something competitive in my life and i don't have the attention span for golf anyhow--i'm at the point where the next step would be to go to some competitions, which i don't have any real interest in, I'm happy to have somewhere i can show up any given afternoon and get some exercise and forget about stress and other bs for 2 hours.

Whatever he did to lose himself the fight speaks for his ability as a fighter, but I can't fault someone for stopping if he knew he was in for a beating the rest of the fight or had nothing left to throw at the guy. Just by stepping in the ring every day, he's not a pussy, there's nothing noble about watching a guy who can't defend himself anymore take a beating-that's the kind of stuff that ends up in brain damage or death and fuels the people who want to ban the sport altogether. A guy can fight stupid or suck, but I don't want to see them stick out something where they can't hold up their guard, that's just waiting for their cns to get blacked out.
