Dustin Poirier schools young Max Holloway with wicked submission at UFC 143
LAS VEGAS -- Dustin Poirier dealt with Max Holloway's standing onslaught for close to two minutes. That's when he had enough. Time for Plan B.
Poirier took the fight to the ground and taught the 20-year-old a lesson. He mounted him, tried an armbar, switched it to a triangle and then wound up getting the submission finish with a nifty armbar from a topside triangle at 3:23 of the first round at UFC 143.
Give Holloway some credit. He took the fight on less than a month's notice against a guy who's one of the brightest prospects in the division. Poirier's finish is currently the lead candidate for Submission of the Night. That could be good for $65,000.
UPDATE: Poirier got the nod for Sub of the Night and the $65,000.
"I never underestimated Max. I was in his shoes before.� He's a tough fighter and good kickboxer.� He was quicker than I expected though and hit me with a few shots," Poirier said. "I came here to get a win, and I got the finish.� I'm one step closer to being a champion."
Holloway's standup attack was pretty slick.
Working behind both hands, some flying knees and plenty of kicks, he had Poirier on his heels. Poirier went for his first takedown with 3:06 left. He got it easily and lifted the slim Holloway into the air before slamming him to the floor. He moved to mount immediately. Poirier simply overpowered Holloway on the ground pinning his arms down on several occasions.
Braving Shanghai's snake hot pot restaurant
by John Coughlan, Sean Hanratty
From nose to tail, Chinese cuisine has long featured dishes that use all parts of all types of creatures.
The southern province of Guangdong is especially known for its peculiar food culture. Extreme cases are monkey brains and a recent report of braised koala.
In Shanghai, a visit to hot pot restaurant Jin Long She (???) confirms that China?s most sophisticated city is no slouch when it comes to adventurous eating.
Snake hot pot in ShanghaiJin Long She?s draw is snake hot pot.
In some parts of China, consumption of the slithering reptile is thought to increase male virility. And while female diners at Jin Long She (literally, Gold Dragon Snake) are welcome, they should be advised that dining here means being subjected to shameless though lighthearted sexual innuendo.
