Tafa vs Sharaf was not exactly a display of technical excellence, but it was an absolute dogfight for as long as it lasted, and an extremely fun heavyweight fight. If you haven't seen it, you should watch it immediately. Both guys were throwing for the kill, and both guys left every ounce they had in the octagon.

Yet, this somehow wasn't enough for Mark Smith.

One minute into round 2, with Sharaf having just survived an onslaught against the fence, there was a break in the action for about 5 seconds. It was a pretty epic moment, with both fighters clearly exhausted, looking at each other wondering what it was going to take to make their opponent quit.

This somehow wasn't enough for Mark Smith, who proceeded to clap his hands, and say, "Come on guys, let's go."

I can't remember the last time I've been so offended. Smith was telling Sharaf to work while he was visibly hurt. These guys put it all on the line last night, and Smith was acting like they were stalling. It was completely disrespectful, and something I would expect a soccer mom to say.

Come on, dude, post a follow up, let's go. Work.
 
This was the most entertaining fight of the night for me. I get the feeling a lot of people have no idea wtf they're looking at when they diss heavyweights like that. Is there a reason the typical super-omega-ultra skilled 170 pounder doesn't save himself the hassle of cutting 30 pounds during his fat camp and just put on 10 pounds and fight at HW instead?

Cory Mckenna (she's hot and I had never seen her fight, was not disappointed. Great spirit), Iron Turtle fight, first 3 rounds of the main event. All I really cared about watching, plus this fight. I would say it delivered.
 
I thought the refereeing was bad all night. The ref in the first fight basically did an assisted submission by swatting not only his feet of out of fence during the RNC, but also his fingers out of the glove until he's unconscious. I hope the fighter who won that gives ref a part of his win bonus because that was disgusting

Toes in cage = illegal

Fingers in glove = illegal

Wasn't all that egregious to be fair sir.

Look at the rest of the crap on the card though. Casuals look at this fight and think it's just a couple of gasbags winging punches at each other, but it was probably FOTN. I'd rather see these two in the UFC than Argueta or those other midgets on the prelims.

I agree it was entertaining regardless of how gassed they were. I'd rather watch less skilled HWs throw bombs at each other for 7 minutes than watch highly-skilled manlets pillow fight for 15 minutes.
