According to Brian Ebersole, the arrow on his chest is pointing to his chin to let opponents know how to defeat him. That's the equivalent of a me having a neon sign pointing to my empty wallet whenever I go on a date to alert the chick they will eventually pay for everything.  My friend Eric told me he hasn't brushed his teeth since he was 21. I promptly responded with 'Hey Eric, I will never share a burrito with you again'. Some stuff is inexcusable, but Brian Ebersole's cartwheel kick at UFC 127 gets a pass solely because he pulled it off in a previous bout and KOd his opponent with it. Check out this video of Ebersole KOing Shannon Forrester at XFC - Return of the Hulk. See, it's not that ridiculous, folks.

I kept telling myself during the fight: 'this guy is weird!' and then 'I kinda like it!'

He was so calm, cool and collected. No octagon jitters at all whatsoever.

I definitely wanna see him in the octagon again. But I don't know who would match up with him and his style.

I also loved the way he was taunting Lytle during the fight.
Lytle was like :"WTF is wrong with this dude?"
It was like he had ADD.

IIRC, that cartwheel KO didnt knock him out.

His toenail cut his opponents eye.

who covers their eyes when they get knocked out ? It was clearly a poke it's a very risky technique and chances of knockout are very slim it's very likely that you will poke someone's eye out.

For his next trick he will attempt to knock out two opponents at once doing the Russian splits.

just read lytle had serious knee surgery 4 weeks before the fight. props to lytle for not withdrawing and fighting the way he did. also props to lytle for not letting the info out to the public (manager announced it)he didnt want to discredit ebersole. hes contemplating retirement.

Seems like the equivalent of a hail mary pass to me. Either it works or you look like an asshole.

Was really impressed by his composure and style. Was totally wrong about this fight and Sotiropolous too.... :::::Questions life and the MMA gods...::::

Hopefully I'm wrong about Jones takin it to Shogun after the third knee surgery.

I shattered the kids orbital with my heel. Spinning heel kick, gents. Not sure how you think my toe managed to point the opposite way, somehow leapfrogging across my size 12 foot and bypassing my heel on the way to the guys head.

Broken eye socket resulting in a TKO and a guy holding his face because of what I can only imagine was intense pain.
