Nice night for Brilz, all things considered…
Yeah, the UFC twitter person last night said, “Brilz gets the Korean Zombie award for coming home with a controversial L… and a billion new fans,” and that was before the FotN award was announced.
brillz should have won, hathaway was amazing vs sanchez, rashad had a boring win over rampage, but it was well deserved rampage lacked a lot of effort, dong hyun kim was a good fight, fatboy russow was impressive in the third
Fatboy? I think his nick name is actually muffin top.
Russow was awful!! Talk about lucky!! I hope duffee learns from this as he looks a seriously good prospect for that division, guy is a machine!!!!
Duffee looked good at first but slowed down and reduced the pressure. he’s a big guy and gassing could be an issue, not every one is like Brock he is a freak of nature.
russow KO was an amazing punch i thought duffee had it in the bag
Wow Brilz,
Although he’s not on the level of nogueira yet.
Even though it wasn’t Nog’s night he still showed to have a lot more technique and power in subs and strikes.
I’d love a rematch. even as next fight
