That is hands-down on of the dumbest moments I'v seen.

NEVER turn your back on your opponent – it’s not like you can just run out the cage, or leap it quick enough to avoid getting caught.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. -Samuel Beckett

The best part of the knockout was how he had a fraction of a second to see it and think “oh, shit.” Hope he learns from his mistake there, but dude deserved to get knocked out for that one.

It would be a little bit funnier if he was running a little more to his right and looked up at the big screen to see himself gettin kicked.

Wrong

That would be too funny.

The big screen is a little behind, he is only just starting the kick on it and Horodecki is already eating shin.

Guillotine.

Njokuani is freakishly tall for that weight class

Most people at lw are between what 5’4 and 5’8 and dude is 6’2. Hell Brock is what 6’4 and 265?

by bigdmmafan on Dec 21, 2009 4:01 PM EST reply actions  

Corey Hill fights at 155lbs and is 6’4".

by grein on Dec 21, 2009 4:33 PM EST up reply actions  

Njokuani has had a bit more success though, especially with kicking…

Guillotine.

by iiowyn on Dec 21, 2009 4:46 PM EST up reply actions  

Corey could’ve kicked him in the other side of the face.

by CaptnAmerca on Dec 21, 2009 5:09 PM EST up reply actions  

fought, you mean

past tense. i’ll be surprised to ever see Hill compete again.

by bobthewriter on Dec 21, 2009 4:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I think Hill might be a bit shorter now.

That’s a great snapshot! His kicking technique looks perfect, like he was posing for a photoshoot.

Which part of “protect yourself at all times” did Horodecki not get?

by Monday Morning Martial Artist on Dec 21, 2009 4:50 PM EST reply actions  

Horodecki shoulda ducked.

by Matthew Roth on Dec 21, 2009 4:56 PM EST reply actions

WOW!

I didn’t notice it until I saw this but Horodecki hits the canvas really hard. Watch his head whip back as his ass plants. Even in slow-mo you can see how fast his head whips back.

you beat me...

but regardless, someone reminded me of a similar situation with yves edwards and josh thompson…

I love that clip

One of my favorite KOs of all time.

by Verklemptomaniac on Dec 21, 2009 7:07 PM EST up reply actions  

At least he was attacking rather than just taking it in the face.

Guillotine.

by iiowyn on Dec 21, 2009 7:29 PM EST up reply actions  

It was pretty sneaky move from Yves…

Chris Horodecki's Colossal Failure

To commemorate one of the dumbest decisions I can recall in MMA, I give you this:

I can’t get enough of how they caught the screen in the background, too

by Tedd Welch on Dec 21, 2009 9:32 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't know why nobody gets what he was doing here.

He was going to bounce off the cage and clothlesline Njokuani inside out. Has NOBODY watched any pro wrestling?
