  I was surprised to see Daiju Takase escape Emmanuel Yarbrough in the UFC. Yarbrough is 600 lbs & Takase 169 lbs. I had to ask myself how is that little man going to fight that huge man. For a long time Daiju Takase moved around the ring and though Yarbrough was slow in moving, sometimes he moved quickly to try to catch Takase.   Towards the end of the fight, Yarbrough got Takase down on the mat. Takase tried to get out from under Yarbrough. It looked as Takase was stuck.He started hitting Yarbrough with his leg stuck. Yarbrough began to bleed. Somehow Takase got his leg out from under the 600 lbs fighter hitting him, and the fight was over. Daiju Takase beat Emmanuel Yarbrough! Amazing. I’m Gail Nobles and you have been listening to EPS.

He had fancy ball handling. ....
