When is king mo’s debut and when is the rad martinez fight?
Here and here
What was Petruzelli doing? He nails him with a punch then tries a lame shoot and gets taken out with what seemed to me to be a few light hammer fists…i could do without seeing either of those 2 again.
Seth’s knee gave way, after missing the last fight due to illness he couldn’t miss this one. Fought injured, and the knee gave way in the cage.
Too bad..he had a good chance on his feet.
The ligament he tore before going into this fight made it only a matter of time before he ended up on the ground crippled. A legkick, power punch, or anything putting pressure on that knee was going to cause it to give way. May cost him his career.
