How was Hicks a pro boxer of >15 bouts. I was not impressed with his stand up game at all (and for that matter his ground game was pretty weak as well). I was impressed with the level of class that Varner showed after the fight, that was great to see. I am looking forward to Varner VS. Cirone, war Varner!

Hopefully, they can find him somebody who can have I don’t know some head movement. Watching that fight was like watching Varner hitting a punching bag. Not trying to knock Varner but if some dude let me punch him in the face a good ten times I feel pretty good that I would win that fight also

Yep all $16,000 of it.

He had the 2nd highest base pay only behind Condit. He was the third highest paid over all.

Hiromitsu Miura got $5,000 for that 4 round fight-of-the-year (tied with Torres/Maeda). He earned every penny.

Marcus Hicks earned every dollar of that big check he got. Ouch.

Yep, have to say ‘I told you so’. Everybody said Hicks would win, but I said after the way Varner handled Razor Rob to win the title that if Jamie could stay out of that guillotine he would win.

Great fight! I assumed that it would at least go into the 2nd round but not even close. Varner straight up rocked Hicks.
