He turtled up way too much in his fight and barely eeked out a win against Kongo. What's funny is the sweep that Herring used isn't used much in the UFC for some reason.. I was surprised that he was so effective with it. I guess not many fighters let their arm get trapped while having someones back.

You don't see that sweep that often, because it's mostly effective against noobs. The trapping the arm is only one part of it, the second part of the sweep requires you to push your body toward your opponent and fake like you are going to try to stand up. Of course this is just to bait him into pushing you back down, that's when you use his momentum to turn him over. Most experienced grapplers don't take the bait and it's not a sweep that you can really muscle your way into.

I just read that Shogun blew out his acl and won't be fighting Liddell in June...

Liddell - Silva in June!
(Anderson)
That would be sweet.

I understand that technique, I was a purple belt under Pedro Sauer before he moved to Virginia from Utah. There are alot of noob techniques that people get caught in that aren't noobs to BJJ/submisison fighting. IE (Guillotine, Armbar)
