Randy lost but he won. At 46 yrs. old there are not too many peolple that have the family jewels to do what he has done. Nog showed courage, heart & a great beard. He is a great fighter. But my hat's off to Randy.
All in all I think we got our money's worth last night there were a lot of good fights & a lot of good fighters. It just keeps getting better.
Wow! I went 5 for 5 on that one. Hey who is this guy Todd Dufee? 7 second KO - fastest KO in UFC history. From the land down under? Anybody know this guy? He looks good man real good.
