Comments
Great sub by Joe and KO by Kongo but I dont think that should be fight of the Night, it was disgraced by a horrible situation of reffing and misjudgment during a fight which should have been stopped or let Lentz recover.
Lentz got screwed. This is the UFC's way of trying to make it up to him. I don't see this as a good reason to NOT give him a bonus.
The saddest part of this is all, is that Joe Stevenson, one of the nicest guys in MMA, may be through.
hes done fore sure the guys on a 4 fight lossing streak from title contender to not even gatekeeper
its sad but hopefully he recognizes its time joe is knowledgeable and well known enough that he should be able to make decent money as a trainer
the last rnd of story vs brenneman was amazing. Rick story did not lose any respect at all the kid will come back stronger
29-29 on the griffin fight? i dont even understand judging anymore. theyre just awful. how do you give a 10-8 round in that fight?
