This sport is absolutely brutal. Yet it is interesting as styles of fighting clash and one is never really sure what will happen. That Rulon?Gardner kid who won the gold in Greco-Roman wrestling has gotten into this. He looks fat but he is so strong. And he has actually learned how to punch. It should be interesting to see how he progresses.
I don't disagree at all....this sport can be brutal....but Liddell is supposed to be the toughest sob the sport has to offer and he goes down with what looks like a glancing blow. Then when he goes down it looks like he goes to get right up and then all of a sudden he's helpless....then it gets stopped and he's all p'd off....the whole things smells a little bad to me....
