Aww man, Phil Collins got TKO’ed ;)
“Why is he just leaving his arm in there?”
Uhmm, maybe because he got ROCKED with an up-kick! Those commentators clearly didn’t pick up on that.
fuckin eh , those were some nasty elbows
James Irvin isn’t going to work his way back onto UFC events losing to Jorge Oliveira in 90 seconds, thats for damned sure…
dude that armbar was pretty sick baczyski got pretty messed up and came back to win that, that was sick, who cares about james irvin haha
This certainly is the year of the triangle choke. Fedor, Sonnen, Carwin (With Brock’s arm version) and now Irvin.
I appreciate, too the muay thai respect these guys have. All that hostility beforehand in the stair-down….
