A couple of years ago i didnt agree with UFC letting this guy go. Recently i raed the news that he was gonna fight in Bellator so i searched him up i and i couldnt believe he was only 27 years old. My god he is barely getting into his best years.
Anyone know what the odds for his fight were? i assume he was the underdog since the long layoff and how good Ward is.
Can't wait to see him fight again.
 
He was always fun to watch. I was pissed when he was let go by the UFC.. 1 fight losing streak cuts are BS, on a split decision no less. I guess he said he needed the time away anyway, and he looked awesome in his first fight back.

I only vaguely remembered him from his time in the UFC, but he looked awesome in his Bellator debut. Gotta love a walkoff KO.
 
I thought he would never return to fighting.

Glad to be wrong!
 
That combo he landed on ward was sick. Hit him like 2 or 3 times after he was already out and before he hit the ground.
 
Was watching Bellator uncut episode of last weeks event. The guy has a pretty good composure and very well spoken let alone from what I saw from him Friday and looking at his record, he seems to be decently well rounded and has potential especially with being so big for the weight class. Hope he gets a better haircut and looking forward to seeing him again.
 
Im hyped as fuck for him. This win is huge, he could clean the division and go back to the UFC.
 
Back when he was released by the ufc he was actually trying to get bellator to sign him but he was denied.
 
barn cat's hands looked sharp than a motherfucker.. glad to see him back.

He's a young dude who decided to step away for a bit. I believe he actually asked to be let go... or had no intention of fighting again at that time. It's certainly nice to see him back.

I remember Rogan pondering what happened to him (this was about a year ago on his podcast if I recall correctly. They were talking about fighters who don't seem like killers who have legit skills. I believe the consensus guess was that he was focusing on family. However, there's plenty of reasons why someone may put the rest of their life in front of fighting.
 
Any word on if Dustin Hazelett plans on coming back?

Haha, I always kinda lumped these two guys together.

Tamdan's glasses in the behind the scenes segment were pretty crazy. Sounds like the guy has his stuff together, pulling for him to do well in Bellator.

O_o

He's 27?!? Really? Dude must have had a rough life. He looks like a grown ass man with kids in their late 20s.

That being said he looked phenomenal. His boxing was so crisp. Was butt hurt that Ward lost (one of the few WArd fans), but Tamdan looked really solid and took out a really good opponent in Ward with ease.

He def brings some new life in the division. Kind of want to see him fight for the title already.
 
We need more personalities in this sport. We have enough of 2nd sons of lower mid class family who went to school only to wrestle. People say if you lose to Akihiro Gono early in your career, you'll succeed. I want to believe in the jinx.
 
I wonder if he would consider shaving his head? That do he has needs to go..
