I think the Scott Smith one was more impressive, due to the fact after he landed that he was rolling around in pain on the floor, I don't think he even made it up for the decision did he? Can't really remember.

Literally one final punch is all he had.

I watched them both, still think Kongo one was more impressive, but each to their own I guess. Here is the links:

Cheick Kongo vs Pat Barry

Scott Smith vs Pete Sell
 
To me Kongo never looked finished, yeah he dropped but he was moving almost instantly both times, and once he was up he seemed alright, as soon as he won he walked around the ring perfectly fine.

Obviously it's my opinion, both awesome finishes none the less :)
 
I was more impressed with the Scott Smith vs Pete Sell finish. It was a proper Rocky moment, haha.

I've never been too impressed with Kongo, I'm still not really. Nonetheless, it was an awesome finish.

I thought it was a really good card in the end.

Yup figured it was wishful more like fantasy feeling :)

Would be so nice to not have to work for a living and just make money off your favorite sport ;)

Even in the case of Overweem vs Werdum fight, bookies gave overweem pretty much the garranteed win but even in the fight or in any MMA fight it can go either way.

Loosing 3k would be a disaster and take ages to rebuild...

Still id like to perhaps start gambling and see how it goes lol

i would say start off with £10 and pick 3 fights max.

1 fight = too low odds (win £2 and risk losing £10)
2 fights = same again too low odds
4 fights or more = high chance of losing

gambling is for mugs, i only do it here and there and i have won loads but im smart, i won £70 the other day in the casino, my mate lost over £100.

the biggest mistake people make is not walking away when they are up or not knowing when to call it a day.

i think in the champions league final last year, i made over £250 or something with a couple of £5-10 bets. but this year i lost those couple of £5-10 bets. still up overall. if you lose its best to just stop for at least a week or two.

im very smart with my betting and i only do it for fun and on rare occasions, doing it for a living would make you homeless very quickly.

this is just my opinion but i would pick 3 fights, and stick £10 on. dont go for all the stupid stuff like method of victory and all that nonsense, straight win and 3 fighter accumulator.

He didn't look finished? The way he dropped the second time was as if he was all the way out and he wasn't much better for the first one.

The fact he got straight up and KO'd Barry is proof he was not finished, No? He dropped yes, but instantly scrambled both times, he did look like he went out completely the 2nd time, but instantly came to.

Did you see Barry get up? He was finished.

The important point here is Kongo had NO guard on that second knock down but in all respect Kongo did indeed "finished" the fight.

Yeah, that's why even the commentators said, they have watched over 2000 ufc matches and never seen anything like that. But of course, you would know better :rolleyes:

I have seen many comebacks, guys getting beaten for the whole 3 rounds and then at the last few seconds gets in a submission or a knockout, but not like that.

I listed 2 there as i could not be bothered to list any more, try the Sylvia vs arlovski that's near enough identical. And that was for a title match so more shocking and arlovski was over -400 and Sylvia +300.

Just because the commentators could not think of one in a split second of the match finishing, does not mean there are none. Also the specifically mention the ufc as they are not allowed to plug other organisations.
 
Just watched that, yeah very similar indeed. Though Kongo's one looked a lot better with the other guy looking like he was dead at the end. lol.

I admit, only been watching ufc for a couple of years and at that I don't watch all the matches, only the ones that interest me. But I have watched a lot and the Kongo comeback was the best I have seen. The other two knockouts you guys mention looked good also, but again still think the Kongo one is the best of the lot :)
 
Same, only been into UFC for about 2 years but I've watched every single UFC event since the start. Never seen anything like the comeback Kong made. It was something you'd see in a movie.

Surely a title shot is in line for him? I don't really rate Kongo that much but you can't deny that he is a true warrior in ufc and deserves a shot.
 
that Scott Smith vs Pete Sell fight was good also, the body shot was vicous but perhaps he was just stalling and recovering and just went for it with one last power shot...

kongo thing was just miles better I mean the fact we see Pat barry aka 'Mr Nice guy' lying on the floor with his eyes rolled and half Zombie is just scary and shocking.... and worst part is Kongo just got up and walked off casualy as if he wasnt knocked down twice lol

And despite all this he still gave the current UFC heavyweight champion by far his hardest fight so far...

What has that got to do with the price of bread?

Cain is a wrestler, with good cardio and good ground and pound. He is not a stand up fighter.

Kongo has never had a top 20 win in his career, so he is a million miles away from a title shot. And I doubt he will ever be anything more than a gate keeper.
 
Kongo is in no way deserving of a title shot the champ beat him not too long ago plus he hasn't beaten any top contenders, I'd quite like to see him fight Meathead after his win at the weekend.

They need to step up Meatheads competition and Kongo is about the right level I reckon.

yeah its not something id like to take up.... guess starting small would be a good idea, worst part is I was gonna nutz and just bet a large sum on Matt Mitrone to win... and Overweem the other day cos they looked 100% sure things, the sorta bets im talking is just "stupidness" money, mind you I would have taken home 2k on those 2 bets lol

Guess thats the thrill and downfall of a Gamblers life :)

Like this idea a lot! Would make for a decent fight.

Couldn't believe the crowd were boo-ing for Matt Brown vs Doomsday when it went to the ground, people have no respect for the ground game and the amount of skill and energy it requires. Same thing when the ref stood up Rick Story and Brennan, what was that all about? Seemed completely retarded.

i didnt like meathead it TUF but find myself a big fan now

meathead vs barry might work

Yeah same here hated the guy in tuf... but it seems hes on a path in the right direction and always improving hes taking out guys who have been in MMA longer and better runs then hes had, which shows hes a smart good fighter.

Thing with matt is hes got a good chin on him, I doubt he would have been knocked down by kongo so it would be awesome for him to fight Kongo next.

Pat barry doubt would fight meathead there both m8s...
