i knew mir was going to pull it out, but i didn't think it'd be like that. I don't know why, but i think it's just bc he is able to pull out some weird shit just when he needs it. Nog is great at that as well, but he played the Kaplan defense (use your chin to wear out the other guy's hand) too much and mir just rocked him...3 knockdowns in round one then bam, round two wasn't any different. If you weren't an MMA fan, you would have no idea how great nog really is and how complete the destruction was...Mir was superMir during that fight...i mean, Nog had absolutely no offense..ever. People were saying the match was stopped early, but i don't know what fight they were watching bc he was barely able to stand after that.
Kongo...damn, he was supposed to be the underdog in the GnP department of that fight and he just sent a huuuuuge message to the heavyweights..don't end up on your back
..oh, nad don't knee him in the nuts unless you want a bit of it for yurself...
I kinda figured Rampage would win, i just didn't think he'd end it with a single left hook..that was nuts.
I've never been a huge fan of rashad, but he's shown an amazing ability to put together a game plan and stick to it, then get the other guy to mess up...either by showboating or just doing something weird. I didn't think forrest would be 'that' outclassed in the match, but damn, that was a brutal and decisive victory.
all in all, greatest ppv of 08...
