While we remained in wait for who Charlie would be fighting, we ended up finalizing a fight for Gabe on short notice-- Well, it was only short notice because the fucking Vegan was off surfing for a month and only started his training when he returned from vacation. Charlie was training with Carl and Sam for his upcoming bout, me and Kevin went to travel with Gabe to Norway where the fight would be taking place.

It was some unknown Japanese kid, and we had -zero- tape on him.

JUNGLESCRAP - BW - Gabe ANDERSSON vs. Yasuhiro MORIGUCHI

The Jap was pretty well build, while Gabe still had his eternal beach bod look going.

Honestly? The vegan surfer started off well and scored a nice knockdown on the kid while maintaining striking pressure to begin round 1. Moriguchi pulled our vegan swede into guard, but luckily Gabe was a pretty ... Unique thinker and transitioned well into full mount before trying to get him with a submission-- All of which were fought off.

"Where's your conviction man?? Get his ass! You're better on the ground, so use it your advantage!" I just hope my advice works here, being a corner isn't easy!

Round two? It was a pure striking display with some boxing, and even I was impressed with how Gabe did--- Kind of. He got struck with a brutal combination early but rebounded by putting the Jap on the ground and still banging, but ... He was getting cocky and let Yasuhiro get up onto his feet to continue.

"What the fuck are you dong, Gabe?! Your specialty is the ground, all you had to do was follow through and choke him out."

Andersson better listen or things could get ugly you know?

Pure dominance. That is how I described round 3 of the bout, as Gabe ACTUALLY fucking listened to me and completely dismantled him on the ground after completing some nice take downs and maneuvers. The Jap kid did defend well, i'll give him that but .. He clearly wasn't going to win that fight, right? No way ... Andersson out performed him. Decisions always had me nervous ...
