Goooodddddddd damn please tell me someone else just saw that knockout on TUF. The guy that got knocked out got taken to the hospital and had short term amnesia...
I forgot it was on yesterday, but checked out the clip of it. Brutal. One of those times where you're like, 'Oh shit, that guy got knocked the **** out!', but then you're quickly concerned for the guy's well-being.
nasty knockout
pretty scary seeing the way he was breathing when he was laid out on the mat...
i can't remember seeing a knockout victim straining for breath like that before. man, that was disturbing. it was like watching all his higher brain function shut down and the most primitive parts (that probably go back to fish or amphibians) struggling to keep operating.
some journalist was just saying that cella will be fine and should be up and around in a week. uh, no, dude... he'll never be quite the same again. brain trauma is cumulative.
as much as i ragged on AO the last few days, that dude has been knocked out ten times now and is STILL amusing and well-spoken in interviews. he's the exception to the rule (so far) and does not have a glass jaw IMO. nobody in the world can take clean shots from bigfoot and last very long, and AO might have taken twice as many as most, right there.

If you look at Reem, the majoirty of his knockouts are due to conditioning, in Shogun x2, Nog x2, Chuck and a couple others he was winning all those fights and taking some good shots than as soon as his cardio went he was done and as well like you said hes taken some shots e.g Shogun leap into the guard punch and Bigfoot combo which no one could take. His chin is not the problem its his cardio always has been. If you have a crap chin you don't get up from being knocked down two times by Badr Hari. So I agree with you on that point

Something similar to that KO was the one when if you remember Matt Riddle KOing that BJJ guy with no stand up at the TUF try outs and the guy kept moaning hell hard that was gross.

yea, that's his rep and storyline of most of his losses (from what i've seen)... but i thought he didn't gas terribly hard this fight. being mostly off the juice this fight, he was visibly less cut and even slightly flabby around his torso. which actually probably helped him last longer. muscle tissue being an energy burner and fat being a fuel, after all.
honestly, does he really need all that muscle? he's still super-strong as is and should avoid bringing down the ceiling on his cardio at all costs, i would think.

that's rude. and no, i didn't see it. i tend to read a handful of MMA sites every single day but pick my spots to watch. maybe because i'm from a family of doctors or something, but it's pretty much impossible for me to sit through a full card or watch as often as most, even though i do love the sport. but i don't want to see video of shogun, edgar, etc in 10+ years when they're starting to go junior seau and stuff.
Basically, those crazy Japanese people placed 16 pro fighters well-known in Japan, including Alistair Overeem, Mark Hunt, Sakuraba, Bob Sapp and Semmy Schilt, into an arm wrestling tournament.
Plus a final challenge against a former world's #1 arm wrestler for the winner!

The result is as expected.
lolz funny thing was Mark Hunt won against the strong man in the overall competition hehehe
The more promos I see for UFC 157, the more I think about just how screwed Dana will be if Rousey loses this fight. I mean he obviously built the entire idea of the division around her star power, but he doesn't seem to give a rats ass about the rest of the women. I mean there hasn't been a WORD about Tate or any of the other girls being offered a fight.
If this Liz chick manages to beat Rousey (in other words if she learns to block an arm bar), how quick will Dana pull the plug on this project?
