I've heard Capoeira described as something you can practice for 10 years and just be ok at it. So not underwhelming at all.

I just thought it be more exciting. Also thought they be little closer to actually hitting one another. But I am not knowledgeable about Capoeria in the slightest. So i think i just expected more based on what ive seen in movies/manga/comics which clearly was stupid of me. I was not trying to put him down at all. I also did not realize he had very little training in it (which makes that a lot more impressive). It was more my ignorance of Capoeira's. I have never seen it preformed before.

@Franklin880088 that's cool man you should google some Marcus Aurelio fights if you wanna see some crazy Capoeira used in an actual MMA fight.

That routine I also wouldnt consider a beginner routine, thats like the finale when the teacher grabs his favourate pupil stuff.
It takes quite a number of years training to look impressive generally

I'm sick of Bendo squeaking out decisions and then talking about breaking Spider's record and superfights with GSP.
I don't think he's even done enough to conclusively prove he's the best lightweight of his era let alone all-time p4p and superfight material.
