Whatever happened to that guy?
He had so much potential -- his win out of left field against Story (as a late replacement no less) was his career defining performance. Before that fight, he actually had a great performance against Hendricks before getting KO'd in round 2 in a fight that he was winning. His problem seems to be simply that he doesn't react well to getting hit and that his submission defense isn't strong enough to survive against top shelf grapplers in MMA. He's still not too old to revive his career, but it isn't as if he didn't get a fair chance in the UFC. I've always loved watching him fight. His wrestling and pace is very entertaining to me. I'd love to see him get some wins and get back on track.
It wasn't just a win it was a beat down and this was when Story was being billed as the next big thing , epic moment and probably one of the most under appreciated upsets ever.
let just abuse this man!
Lol I remember when he fought Rick Story on short notice and won. That was a feel good mma story.
