This is as close as I’ll get to Clarking. Not posed btw, this is a live roll.

Luckily i was able to finish this takedown and then finish the fight with strikes from the top.

Part of the fight that i was out and have no memory of

In the summer of 2008 i fought the most dangerous opponent i ever fought. I was a purple belt and fought Renzo Gracie black belt Tim Mannon. We traded some strikes early in the first round before i took him down and pushed him up against the cage. I was landing some effective strikes from the top when he kicked me off of him and i remember thinking “that’s fine, we can stand back up.” The next thing i remember i was talking to the doctor in the locker room. When we stood back up he landed a massive right hand and knocked me out. Somehow i was able to defend myself and recover and even swept him and finished the round on top. Between rounds i walked back to the corner and literally fell face first into the cage. In the second round i was able to take him down and finish the fight with elbows from the top. To this day there is a solid 30-45 minutes of my life that i have no memory of.
