That's an epic powerbomb

Guy taking it has no idea what to do with his head though, wouldn't have hurt anywhere near as much if he'd kept it tucked better. He'll never make a pro-wrestler

Seriously though, been watching almost enough mma recently to now have some idea what's going on, didn't realise it was on last night so gonna look for a download of this.... I hear Rampage - Rashad was a bit on the **** side in the end? Was the whole event any good? Card looked ok from my very limited knowledge.

Was a bit let down by Rampage. When he had Rashad rocked in the 3rd he should have went in for the kill but he allowed him to recover. The Bisping fight was better IMO. Think the A Team stuff could have been a distraction to Rampage. If there is a rematch i think he will do a lot better.

The Rampage vs Rashad fight was a big let down, for two guys who hate each other so much they spent an awful lot of time cuddling each other. I was expecting a real stand up slugfest, they only both really caught each other once, Rashad caught Rampage in round 1 and Rampage rocked Rashad in the last round but other than that Rashad just used his grappling to control things. Hopefully there will be a rematch and the two of them really go at it. I know Rampage was complaining of ring rust after all the last fight he had was against Keith Jardine in March last year.

As for the Brits, Bisping did well against Dan Miller, surprised Dan Miller didn't try to utilise his wrestling a bit more but Bisping did well against most of the takedown attempts and John Hathaway had an impressive showing against Diego Sanchez and landed a sick knee to Sanchez's head early on in the fight.

No idea how Little Nog managed to get the win against Jason Brilz, some of the judging decisions in the UFC really are laughable and Surprise of the night was Mike Russow KO'ing Todd Duffee after his record KO in his first fight

The Todd Duffee KO was fantastic.

Duffee the silly big ******* that he is punched himself out in the first.

No way is he an elite heavyweight as many thought he may be.

His jaw is 100% Glass

[Nicey]

A bit harsh, that guy he was fighting was tough as nails... everybody is one punch away from lights out in MMA, I personally think it was the follow up Elbow across the jaw on his way down that did the damage ... Look at Forrest Griffin ... rabbit punched out .. does he have a glass chin ? .. does he ****

Todd Duffee is a very good prospect, he was before this fight and he still is, he will learn from this, the lad is like 8 years old for ****s sake

Glass chin.

The apparent 'elbow' had nothing to do with the KO. Duffee and his glass chin were in the on way down as a result of the first punch.

Imagine Carwin landing cleanly on Duffee? His head would fall off.

Bollox.

Hit anybody just right on the chin and its lights out or at least system down for 20 secs ... he got tagged, too early to make a call on him having a glass chin I would say

Griffin have a Glass chin ?

[spud_gun]

I posted the .gif of Griffen some time back.

Had Griffen been down prior to that 'rabbit punch'?

By that stage of the fight Griffen had been dismantled by Silva.

Duffee on the other hand was well on top of the fight. He'd bossed the first two rounds delivering some sickening shots of his own. It's not as though he was caught off guard by the punch. He didn't walk into it like Griffen did.

How can you say anything other than Duffee can't take a shot. The evidence is there for all to see.

Any MMA Fighter is one punch away from lights out and it has nothing to do with a galss chin, he gets knocked out in this fashion say 3 or 4 times then perhaps its worth considering, but I bet you could not take a clean punch on the chin from someone who has been hitting the heavy bag for 3 months

Oh come on man your better than that.

As for Duffee. Glass chin. Until he proves other wise.

[Nicey]

Seriously dude I train in a working MMA Gym in Hong Kong, one of these cunts punched you or anybody else for that matter cleanly on your chin, you would be at the very least stunned .... Was not having a go, just suggesting what many many people in MMA have already said ... anybody can get clipped

[spud_gun]

Obviously i couldn't take a punch from a professional MMA fighter but then again i doubt many of them could write shell scripts.

We'll just have to see how Duffee does in future. He has however been exposed in this fight and anyone he fights from now on will be launching bombs at his chin.

That old boxing adage 'you can't grow muscles on your chin' is most apt in this case.

[Nicey]

Man another great great promotion, really makes a difference to the overall experience when you watch the pre lims first ...Fight of the night and of the year so far for me Cro Kop and Berry ... suu ****ing perb .. possibly not the most technical fight but for two guys going at it toe to toe with technical striking it does not get much better than that ... I am sure Berry once he gets a ground game will be in the mix ... looks like he would be better suited to light heavy ..

[Gaz]

The UFC put on a great show the other night, i think the first fight on the main card edged it for me and i was very impressed with Rory MacDonald until he got his face well and truly caved in by Carlos Condit in the 3rd round.

I thought Cro Cop was done for after being knocked down twice in the first few minutes, Barry made a huge mistake in letting him get back up, he might respect Cro Cop but there is no way he'd return that favour and Barry needs to learn there's no room for sentiment in the UFC if he wants to progress.

Massive respect to Rich Franklin as well, fighting on with a broken arm and still throwing punches, that guy is as tough as they come.
