They should totally make Minowa fight him again, but in this makeup.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Only 20 stitches? Damn thing is 5 inches long.

Keep firing Assholes!

holy shit……..i can start to understand the argument for no elbows on the ground.

by JaTinkles on Mar 12, 2010 9:03 PM EST reply actions  

The elbow didn't stop the fight, a choke did.

Elbow damage is mostly superficial, and has little lasting impact.

The forehead will heal up with no permanent damage. Miguel will not be affected by this injury when he is 50. A concussion from a KO on the other hand will.

the elbow set up the choke.

by Toolshed on Mar 12, 2010 9:43 PM EST up reply actions  

As opposed to someone getting rocked with a punch and then choked out?

Well...

He knew the fight was gonna get stopped in about 15 seconds, so he threw everything he could into a crazed race to finish Benavidez before the ref called in a doctor. Got caught because he focused on his offense and knew he only had seconds to finish.

Did Miguel say that somewhere? I don’t think there was much thought to it other than, “OMFG!!! MEDIC!”

by Kwisatz Haderach on Mar 12, 2010 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I spoke with him afterwards

but he also said something similar on his twitter.

Huh. Thanks for the info. He looked kinda loose to me after the elbow, like he was really dazed and just reached for Benavidez’ legs out of pure instinct.

by Kwisatz Haderach on Mar 12, 2010 10:22 PM EST up reply actions  

there’s always the old, “don’t let the guy elbow you in the skull” strategy.

by Phildo on Mar 12, 2010 9:58 PM EST up reply actions  

The headkick set up the heelhook. So what?

Human skin tears and a bright red liquid pores out, just like they pass out if you sufficiently compress their carotid arteries or experience major knee failure when torqued properly. This is fighting in a cage, drawing lines in the non-lethal sand is a little silly.

by BillyJane on Mar 13, 2010 3:49 AM EST up reply actions  

The fight would have been stopped if the choke did not happen.

by Kefka on Mar 12, 2010 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, it wasn’t the falling-out-of-a-plane that killed him, it was the sudden STOP at the end.

Sure glad Lesnar got his shit straightened out.

by judonerd on Mar 13, 2010 12:00 AM EST up reply actions  

He did say in interviews he couldn’t see or breathe well through the blood, so it was over the first time a doctor looked at it anyway.
