Whitehead has a great gameplan.
big punch. Can’t believe he let him off the hook
Good decision win for Whitehead. This is the 3rd fight in a row that I’ve watched Whitehead look great in.
wow. I can’t believe what I just saw =/
arlovski got knocked out in 22 seconds… i guess arlovski does pack glass in his jaw
It’s a good thing Arlovski isn’t a gay porn star, I feel like he would be knocked out by a ball sack to the chin.
I think Fedor knocked whatever KO resistance he had left. I feel sorry for Arlovski. I hope he gets back up there.
Wow. Jake Shields is the real deal, I had my doubts but not anymore.
If that put all of your Jake Shields concerns to rest then we weren’t watching the same fight. Yes he won, but I kick my four wheeler harder to start it. And Ive seen bodies in a casket with looser stand up.
I actually think he looks stiffer than shot of moonshine in his stand-up. sorry i had to after the casket line.
Amazing fights tonight. Diaz is on a great role, I’d like to see him re-match Riggs after this.
Brett Rogers never seizes to amaze me, good for him. Arlovski is still a force to be reckoned with, but he got tagged!
Shields needs to finish the contract and get his ass to the big show. I think he would do well in the UFC. It would be interesting to see him match up with Hughes, so he could get his name out to the “ultimate fighting” fans.
Overall, great fights.
Good point about a diaz/riggs rematch. Don’t think the results would be the same. I like how he keeps that jab in his opponents face like that (I was amazed with how accurate he is with those), and easily dodges any attacks, that’s enough to frustrate anyone. Smith looked about ready to just quit.
Whoops, roll not role.
And ceases not seizes.
Good fights aside dont gus johnson and mauro ranallo realy make these shows seem akward. From the pauses to the mistakes to the stupid one liners, over-exagerated lines, franks braces, the list goes on and on oh ya and “Two straight knock-outs in a row for Fedor” like come on.
Anyways Randleman should hang em up soon, riggs looked good besides his takedown defence. Diaz was Diaz Smith was Smith no real surprises there. Rogers. well what can ya say wow. arlovski should keep growin that beard maybe itl help his chin. Lawler vs Diaz anyone. And jake should forget about mr. movie star and go to the UFC.
