I actually enjoyed it despite the fact it was only on one camera. What did them in this time was the 1.2 million viewers .... pretty insane. Thats what a Stern plug will do for ya. Lighten up Sam buddy. I dont think it was KC, he said on Stern that he wouldn’t be their until the next show….

If it was Gonzaga that got ko'd with that head kick then that stand up would have been pretty damn controversial.

I'm not a fan of this rio heros thiing...i see the advertisements all around the MMA community and i've watched a few fights. I just don't believe in their so called "underground rules" no holds bars. They try and make it seem like these fighters are something special...but they're not. You'd have a better time watching felony fights then this shit. “They were worse than some Herb Dean Cro Cop/Gonzaga BS.”

Fact is, I can't believe you wasted time actually breaking down why you hated it, Adam. I actually enjoy watching the horrible camera work, laughable venue they picked, the 90 year old man sitting ring side looking like he's trying to find his dentures on the floor, the unbelievably psychotic rage screams from Jorge Pereirra, and then I try to figure out what the whole issue is with it being horrible for MMA because it isn't MMA? It's a comedy, for one. And two, it's no real Vale Tudo rules. They still stop the fights via a tap, they still stand the fighters up, they say that there are little rules, but in fact, full MMA rules almost seem to be in effect for the most part. No gloves and no time limit seem to be the only huge difference, that and they fight in a space the size of an outhouse it seems like. Here's a grand tip, bet $20 on the horrible +1200 or +900 underdogs at BetCRIS. That'll make it a bit more exciting. That’s exactly what it is, pure humor.
