So War Machine beat Woods? I forgot he was fighting on that card, damnit! Good for WM, that guy was really hyped up. I gotta go find this one to see it now.

Great post, Rec’d!

Killer stuff, smoogy.

Kikuno’s is my favorite KO of the year so far. Zombie stance ftw.

Matsumoto's knees...

are insane. You can see each one take a bit of Calanic’s will to fight until there was nothing left.

Great post Smoogy.
