Elsalvajeloco Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 That's gonna be one of the most vicious knockouts you're ever going to see. WOW.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 There was no way Quinonez was gonna be able to keep that pace up. Once he got tired, Smolka just ate him up.

The Natural Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 UFC's didn't play for me so went on YouTube. That's a brutal KO by slam. Slam KOs make we wince. Frank Shamrock's on Igor Zinoviev is the worst of them as Igor's injuries stopped him fighting ever again in MMA. Tito Ortiz to Evan Tanner, Quinton Jackson's powerbomb to Ricardo Arona, Matt Hughes using that on Carlos Newton and Jessica Andrade's Burning Hammer on Rose Namajunas.
The Natural Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Matt Wiman was out for a while, right? Last time that happened was to Jessica Eye getting KTFO by Valentina Shevchenko's headkick. Cameras actually cut to crowd shots. The sound of the kick, how long Jessica Eye was unconscious for and how Eye's feet went. I was concerned for her health as a result of all that.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 Benitez kneed Jaynes so hard, he sent him flying halfway across the Octagon.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 Hill hit OSP with like fifty answered shots.
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 Letting a man punch you in the head an infinite number of times wasn't the soundest strategy on the part of Hermansson. Still a nice win for Vettori.
Teflon Turtle Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 There were other things that I felt affected the fight, namely the seeming injury to Hermansson's right leg/foot, and the knockdown in the first round. Had Hermansson been able to kick with his right leg, he could've continued to throw it to the shouthpaw's body, probably keeping Vettori's left hand in check a bit better. Vettori reacted to one of those body kicks after he was forced to block it. I don't know that we would've seen the Hoost/Lebanner finish from K1, necessarily...I've no idea of the actual state of Vettori's arm. But, had Hermansson been able to continue to kick away, perhaps there would've been a different course to the fight. I also felt like Jack never quite overcame the big shot in round one. It was a great fight, but Hermansson was more or less a headhunter after surviving everything. Felder also raised a good point: Hermansson would've been better served by straightening up his right hand vs. throwing hooks. Lord knows where his head was at after absorbing some of those punches, though. 2
Ultimo Necro Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Just catching up with this now. What a brutal ko. Bearhug into a spinebuster. Incredible. Leavitt seems like the nicest dude in the world. Edited December 6, 2020 by Ultimo Necro 2
