I didn’t get to see it live on TV but a grainy webstream. It was worth it though. It wasn’t the best UFC ever but the main fight was great and the record knockout fight was fun to watch.
Thiago beat Keith which I predicted. I don’t have anything against either one but the last time I saw Thiago it looked like he was quick, quicker than Jardine. It could have gone either way but Thiago pretty much dominated this fight.
Todd Duffee connects on Tim Hague almost immediately… Hague had his guard down. He hit the sweet spot on the chin and Hague crumpled. Duffee takes advantage of that and pounces on him and lands the beat downs to seal the KO victory in a record 7 seconds! Talk about embarrassing!
The main event pitted two veterans against one another, the much older Randy taking on Antonio. Nog won all three rounds and ultimately the unanimous decision. There were several submission attempts and I can’t believe he didn’t get any but Couture is tough as nails and put up an excellent fight. There were several times I thought it could go either way. I would highly recommend watching this fight because it’s an exciting 15 minutes. When they went to the ground it looked as if one guy would be losing and the next minute he’d be on top. Nog had a great flip on one instance. My main complaint on Randy was why did he not get back on his feet with a minute and 35 seconds to go? There’s no way he’d win with submission or ground and pound… he needed a knockout. He had a MUCH better chance on his feet because it looked like it could go either way when they were fighting toe to toe.
I saw parts of the other fights but they weren’t that interesting to me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good main event fight.
