I've seen a few KOs like that, they're not all that uncommon. (I mean the reaction while unconscious not the awesome spinning hook kick, haha).

I think it just seemed worse because there was no noise, lights, crowd etc.

I'm really enjoying TUF this season, which is good. I haven't been able to get into the last few seasons.

He's basically come out and said that Rashad has lost his drive and needs to get it back asap!

Seems Rashad mentioned retirement after the Bones defeat and doesn't look as motivated as he once did!

Rashad seemed to under-estimate little Nog. Little Nog hasn't looked great for the last couple of years, but he really pulled it out the bag for this fight. Rashad is probably a little afraid of Brazilian strikers after what Machida did to him.

I'd still prefer the judges to be told to score every round a draw unless one guy (or gal! ) clearly wins a round!

I completely agree; the judges should go into the round with the opinion that "this is a 10-10 round unless one fighter clearly has an advantage" but instead most seem to have the opinion that "well I have to score it 10-9, if one fighter doesn't have a clear advantage then I'll just flip a coin and let it decide".

Remember it's edited heavily! According to Dana he was unconcious for 4 minutes, got on his stool after 6 minutes and finall out of the octagon a full 9 minutes after being kicked. That's what made it so savage really!

The KO really wasn't all it was hyped up to be. It was a nice kick, and the guy was out for some time, but it wasn't really spectacular.

Can't help but feel the hype surrounding the KO was a ploy to generate more viewers for 'The Ultimate Fighter', can't stand the show.

This is exactly why it was hyped up......it is a TV show that relies on viewing numbers just like anything else! But what's wrong with that???

I've always thought it was a slightly flawed premise tbh - they need the in-cage "wow-factor" because the sport is still in it's relative infancy and if they have hooligans brawling in the house (which, lets face it, would be far more entertaining to watch! ) then it shows the sport in a negative light which hurts the company long-term!

I just hope Bellator's new reality effort doesn't just lower the standards!

Enjoying this season more than any since the early ones!

It was a good knockout but had nothing on Gonzaga's head kick on Cro Cop, i thought Cro Cop had died the way he hit the mat with his leg all bent up.

Oh, I did not know that. You'd have thought they would have pointed that out on the show! That is quite a long time to be unconscious for.

Brutal kick!!!

I remember it well as I was in the crowd up in Manchester!

I've yet to watch it but it has received a lot of great reviews from MMA media!

[nemtizz]

Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to check it out later.

You're welcome. Very interesting watch, will possibly bum you out towards the end!

 

[TurnipHead]

People were saying "why are they showing her crying, they wouldnt do that with a guy". I'm pretty sure that happens in a lot of primetimes. That's the idea of the show isn't it?

Brutal kick!!!

I remember it well as I was in the crowd up in Manchester!

As was I, the entire arena went deadly silent for a split second. You could hear that kick like a really loud hand clap from right at the top of the seating... absolutely brutal KO.

I've watched part 1 of the primetime. It's ok, nothing special. Not sure what all the amazing reviews are about.

Whenever I see Rousey shadow box I cringe. Her stand up is sooo bad.

Looked better than Carmouche's in the primetime show though!

That's what I thought too lol, Carmouche's stand-up looked awful compared to Rousey.

Not as bad as Jake Shields.

TUF tonight! i just re-watched last weeks episode to get me in the mood

 

[nemtizz]

Cain vs. Bigfoot 2 and JDS vs. Reem set for 160.

JDS-Reem is no doubt the bigger, better and more interesting fight. Too soon for Cain-BigFoot 2 after the annihilation Silva suffered less than a year ago? I think so...
