Default Olaf Alfonso

I thought it timely since the UFC acquired the WEC to talk about WEC fan favorite Olaf Alfonso from the Odo Fight Club in Mexico.

He's a strange character, kinda has the Jesus look going, he always walks into the cage deliberately cross-eyed. He's a mysterious character, rumors are he's a former Delta Force guy or something and has written many military hand to hand combat books under a different name.

He has unorthodox grappling. A strange mix of Judo like throws and holds mixed with some sort of hybrid Jiu Jitsu style for those who have not seen him. He's well spoken and extremely knowledgeable about fighting. He's broken his nose something like 30 times and his trademark is that He Never Taps Out. Many judges have had to literally tap out for him by stripping the submission hold off of him while he's either A)Choked Out or B)Something is broken or C)He's KTFO.

Razor Rob MCCullough KTFO of Olaf on May 5th in the WEC, shattering his jaw to which Olaf (shattered jaw and all) flipped MCCullough off while exiting the cage in a stretcher.

He's a .500 fighter, not particualrly technical, but I think the UFC would be well advised to have a fight or two with Olaf for the UFC fans. I think they'd go banannas for the guy, he's just one of those guys you scratch your head and go WTF? But he definitely brings it each and every fight.

Anyone know more about the Mysterious guy Olaf?????? I know he got his ass handed to him at a pride event not too long ago,but I forgot by who.. Still hope we see more of him hopefully in the UFC.

Every sport has to have a weirdo.

And if you think you know what a broken nose looks like, until you see Olafs nose ,you aint seen a broken nose yet. His nose is so jacked up, it points in 9 directions!

Thats what I'm saying. I think he'd definitely add some great fanfare to the UFC. He did a lot of play by play too for WEC while recovering from injuries. He is actually a very good play by play guy. He knows his stuff, so I hope we see him debut in the UFC down the road. He interviews guys well too. He may be crazy in the cage, but he's definitely got a brain for the fight game.

Ive only seen his fight with Sakurai in Bushido but he got KOd pretty brutally so I didnt get to see much of what he can do. He seemed like a nice peaceful guy in his interview tho, he was saying he favoured yoga and meditation over traditional training methods.

Yeah, he does leave himself open a lot, but he has been in some awesome wars in the WEC like with that kid from The Pit Polokowski. THey had three fights together and you'd think it was a Rocky movie. Olaf is just one of those fighters who simply keeps coming at you and that's why I think a UFC audience would go ape**** over hinm.



He's also the only fighter I've seen almost choke someone out with a full nelson. It was a few years back and he had this hybrid full nelson on someone and almost choked dude out, but simply transitioned into a full RNC and tapped the guy out.

Odd but entertaining would be the best way to describe Olaf's fighting style. He's sure to be a hit in the UFC if he is allowed to fight. I'd love to see him and Sherk get it on!
