Lol,

He's got some big power (unlike his overrated cousin), but his striking defense seems alil poor.

This was a great fight to watch live. Rhadi is extremely fast and light on his feet for a big guy. His strength and conditioning is impeccable. Judo Olympian, BJJ black belt under Ricardo Liborio and he’s knocking dudes out… two in a row now. Yes his standup is the greenest part of his game but he will only keep improving and he’s getting the job done so far.

looked like he kept trying to grab a gi.

How in the hell did the other guy last so long?
Lame fight, expected more out of an Olympic athlete.

He's an Olympic athlete....in Judo. Not Mixed Martial arts.

why do u call it a lame fight???

just curious what was so “lame” about the fight? you expected more out of an Olympic athlete who was a grappler, who has been training striking for a few months, to choose to stand and bang instead of just shooting in and going to his strength but instead chose to focus on those parts of his game that he knows he needs the most improvement? aside from the fact his background is grappling, even if he were just a striker, what is lame about him knocking a guy out just a minute and a half into the first round?
