I clicked on this just for the hell of it, I don’t know anything about MMA, but that was a nice kick to start the bearded guy’s downfall! Impressive. 4 stars
finally Cain is back!! If he is in shape Velasquez is the one….
Shouldn’t have stopped it the round was about to end also the punches weren’t landing cleanly
Yeah i thought i so too but then the replay shows travis face plant the mat and lay there with his hands over his ears (( he gave up ))
