That is one of the most brutal knockouts i have ever seen. Poor Gono.

Is it safe to say Akihiro Gono is no longer even in the discussion for Top 20?

He is 1-3 since 2007. In that one win, he actually lost the first round to McCrory, and then caught him in the second. He isn’t that young either….

ThankYou!

Some awesome ground work in a couple of those fights. A brutal KO and a female Japanese announcer who sounds like she speaks mid orgasm. The guy who beat Fedor, Ivanov makes Wandy look technical. I have never been a fan of testicle punting, that looked awful.

It seems in my humble opinion that the fighters NOT in the UFC are unafraid to head to the ground at any time. I love the ground game, subs, reversals, GnP or even just passing the guard. I wish the UFC fighters would dump their “Stand and Band for a Buck” style. The back and forth then down to the ground makes for a great fight. If Gurgel could figure this out he could make a nice living.

Over all very very entertaining. Rec’d. Thanks again.
