Crocop won in his return ot the octagon, and Ryan Bader KO'd Jardine in the third round. sounds like it was one round apiece at that point.
Cro Cop wasn't impressive (again). He fought a 37-year old guy taking the fight on like 2 days notice. He was controlling things, but couldn't finish him. They stopped it on a cut. Chris Lytle finished his fight in Round 1 with a nasty knee bar. Dude's leg went pretty far beyond 180 degrees. Bader was pretty even with Jardine but started to turn it on a bit in the third. The KO was legit. Sotouropolis was impressive to say the least. Outstanding performance. Joe Daddy couldn't do anything with him. He had Joe on defense even when Joe was on top. Fight of his life. Silva-Bisping was a really good fight. They went at it pretty good. Silva caught him behind the ear with like 10 seconds left in the fight and was pounding him out when the fight ended. We had no sound where we were and actually thought Sliva got the TKO. He almost choked Bisping in the second if not for the bell. Cain caught Noguiera with a big shot that basically turned the lights out. Cain quickly jumped on top and landed more shots to the face of unconscious Noguiera before the ref stopped it. Violent. Totally shocked me. I couldn't wait to see what happened when these guys got on the ground, and it never got there. BAM! FIGHT OVER. Nogs actually was getting the better of the hands to that (early) point IMO. He'd already reddened Cain up a bit, though the fight was still warming up. They showed Cain getting his nose stitched after the fight. But Cain has definitely gotten better striking. That was a legit shot. And Nogs looks like he's reached the Chuck area with his chin. After all those wars, now those shots put him away.
after Mir took Nogs apart, i thought he was on the down side, but then he turned around and handled Couture pretty easily, and looked good since. was surprised that Cain KO'd him in Rd 1. was also suprised about Sotoropoulis manhandling Joe Daddy. wish i would've seen the card.
Yeah that wasn't no bull**** like with Mir. Granted, Mir looked great (and again obliterating Kongo). But Nogs entered that fight in pretty bad shape. He was beat to hell before Mir laid a hand on him. Saturday night he looked fine. The young lion just ripped his head off.
