Efrain Escudero figured out what went wrong with Charles Oliveira. He was just being too nice.

via SB Nation-

The newly humbled Efrain Escudero seems revitalized since his recent loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 22. Although Escudero weighed in a full three pounds heavier than the allotted 156 pound weight limit, 'Hencho En Mexico' claims that when it was time to step into the cage, he was all eye of the tiger.

via BJPenn.com-

"Everything was going perfect in the locker room. We were ready, we did everything we had to do, my mind, everything was set but I don't know. When we stepped into the octagon I didn't throw. I could see some opportunities to unload but my body just didn't want to throw."

That's typically what happens when you don't properly prepare yourself and spend your time making YouTube videos tasering your friends. I know he was playing a game of musical chairs in terms of opponents leading up to this match, but he did know he would be fighting someone. That someone may very well be the reason we saw the Escudero we did. Clearly not buying into the hype of UFC newcomer Charles Oliveira, Escudero seemed pretty confident about how he stacked up with the 20 year-old.

Yeah I agree with your assesment

Efrain though he would sprawl and brawl to a win, and looked to avoid the ground at all times.

Problem was that Charles was beating him easily standing and he had no answer for it and was not prepared to switch it up.

Efrain needs to polish up his technique and mae weight

Efrain didn’t look like he took the fight seriously. Add in that Oliveira was obviously better than he was given credit for, and Efrain got the result he deserved.

He got served.

He thought he could win the standup, he was wrong, and he didn’t know what the fuck to do after that, because he damn sure wasn’t gonna win on the ground.

Hadoken!!
