I was lucky enough to meet and hang with Rory in Vegas the weekend of UFC146. He wasn't fighting but was still there to see Anderson vs Sonnen II . A mutual friend had organized the meeting as I was just diagnosed with Cancer and was told the worst. Rory met with me and invited me to a UFC get together with other fighters, he really did go above and beyond the photo and autograph signing. RM is a very sincere and kind person , yes a bit shy. I will never forget the conversations we had, understanding his true determination of wanting and training to be the best. Luckily after I came home from that weekend I was accepted into a drug treatment trial, almost four years later I'm still here. coping but not cured.. This weekend in Ottawa I'll be going to what will most likely be my last UFC event to cheer Rory on. WAR RORY!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!

Hendricks looked amateur because he had massive reach disadvantage and couldn't get inside easily. Rory won't have that problem. Thompson was beaten purely by heart in Matt brown. Rory can pull it off if he executes the gameplan designed by firas.

Tru tru It's simple and seems obvious but even the pros have a tough time with it. IMO that is one of the benefits of point sparring in Karate. Most karate styles will give you point for full body contact but you have to exhibit control and pull your punch just before head contact. You basically never get punched in the face so your eyes are always opened. But the huge downside of Karate sparring is that you don't have to fight your way out of the pocket. My first sparring session with a pancrase fighter was a fucking eye opener LOL. I'd beat him to the first punch but then get lit up right after. Bad habits from Karate. Coincidentally years later he reffed a Rory fight in the UFC. Very cool to see.

Remember when Brandon Vera's nose got smashed across his face when he fought Thiago Silva. That was nasty. Also honourable mention - Shogun when he fought Hendo the second time. You gotta be willing to sacrifice your looks in MMA, remember when Diego Sanchez was on TUF 1 he was a good looking guy but now his face is just obliterated, his fighting style made him take too much damage. Arlovski face is pretty flattened now.

In his interviews he seems a little awkward, but dedicating your life at an early age to fighting will do that to you. Stephan has an mysterious technique, but Rory and Firas will figure it out, and find away to bring it to the ground. Stephan has good jiu jitsu off his back (purple belt) and can likely defend most submissions, Rory can finish a submission, but maybe not with the time given. I think Rory will bring it to the ground and finish with strikes. TKO late 2nd or 3rd round. Also with a lot less chance he catches a kick in the 1st round and uses leg game, long shot bet he wins 1st round with heel hook or knee bar submission.
