Jeff Monson vids?
Anyone have a good video of his fights. This dude looks really agressive in the cage, and might actually win the belt in the upcoming fight.

Here's a highlight of some of his grappling...

No doubt he is a tremendous grappler and STRONG as anybody in the world BUT if he wins the UFC HW title, this will only show how weak the UFC HW division really is right now. About as one-dimensional as any fighter...ever. Even so, Sylvia is about as one-dimensional as they get as well.....

Hmmm...that's the first I've seen of him. Is that really his whole repetoire? It was his grappling highlights?
But even at that - it seemed all brute force and not a lot of finesse?

Yeah, that's about it....
Monson is a LEGIT grappler though...you don't become an Abu Dhabi champ without some serious technique. He is one of the strongest SOB's around though.....he submits a lot with the cross-face style choke. Man, that's gotta feel like your head is in a vice or something.

There was a UFC fight where he choked his opponent out with that exact same move. The dude blacked out from what i heard. Would be nice to get that video....
