[GIF] Edson Barboza KO

When Dariush kept pressuring without much respect, I knew it was a matter of time till Edson timed him with something. I mean, he kept ducking his head and just stepping forward after his punches. Sure you can't give a guy like Barboza much space, but that was too much of a risky strategy.
 
Dariush was winning the whole time. Looking coward to both of there next fight

No, he wasn't. He was busier and that's all. Barboza had all the better shots and was just starting to get his timing down.
 
The timing on that is beyond incredible. One of the best flying knees in MMA history.

Actually Dariush was doing fine, he was outstriking Barboza. it was a takedown attempt that caused his downfall, and it wasn't even that bad it was just Edson who reacted so quickly there's not much you can do about that.
 
Can't remember the last time someone dove into a knee THAT hard. I'm surprised his neck isn't broken.

Well, I disagree. Sure he was doing well, but was being to predictable. He kept doing the same things over and over. You don't just keep ducking your head and stepping in after your jab against a killer like that. Like I said, it was only a matter of time till Barboza timed him with something and he did.
 
Barboza the killer is back. When he's on point his striking is unreal.

That was a close round and he might have got it, but he was sure as fuck losing round 2 up untill the moment he got knocked the fuck out.
