He's going to be out for a long time. I work with a woman who is studying to be an EMT and she said it looked like he probly had a small fracture on the side of his shin going in to that fight for his leg to just snap like that.

He is very green and has probably not properly conditioned for Muay Thai. That was crazy. The only thing crazier was Cote blowing out his knee......WHILE TAKING A STEP!

This is no sport. This is for you crazy motherfuckers to musturbate with human pain. Victims of you own country that gives you all kind of violence via movies and television. Really sad for you people. I hope your world changes someday. Meanwhile you will continue supporting governments that invade foreing countries to activate your military business and to steal natural sources. please, just think about it.

This guys is an absolute monster.. but just some minor/unlucky setbacks are keeping him down.. you know, in his last fight he was dominating and then had one TINY slip up and got choked out.. now he's doing good and his leg snaps? man i'd hate to be him.. ACK!, it’s happened a couple of other times in the sport..

Then why would even think about throwing them...? Sorry, but I'm trying to digest what I just saw... How does your leg snap from delivering a leg kick?

Good action. Good KO's. What more could you ask for? What's crazy is some of these fight night and TUF Finale cards have been better than a lot of the PPV's. I hate quick stoppages but that Saunders fight should have been stopped way earlier. He looked like a giant Anderson Silva out there. You could call that fight Silva vs Franklin 3 !!! Sweet card!

Kos - that was freaking brutal. Saunders - best display of knees in the clinch I have ever seen. The massive ostrich egg on Wolff's head was sick. Cantwell - great arm bar, Al-Hassan is a nut, the expression on his face when the ref stopped the fight.... What did you do that for!! Swick - looked good, but fight ended to soon to really tell anything. Miller - give this guy some credit, great fight on such short notice...way to step up. Great show. Great cause.

All credit to Miller for sure, but good lord.. you wouldn't think a guy that just knocked out Thiago Tavares would come out missing all sorts of punches, and leaving his head wide out in the open... not to mention how fast he gassed. 2. Credeur's looking better and better in the standup.. it's kind of sloppy, but the power's definitely there, and for a submission fighter it's just fine.. 3. I love me some Steve Cantwell.. since the first fight i saw him in, i've liked him.. but after his VAST improvement for Cantwell/Stann 2, i like him that much more.. his striking is just on a whole 'nother level than it used to be.. EXTREMELY TECHNICAL... and with all that said.. he won via submission.. i just love that.. 4. I'm a Swick fan, for sure.. but i don't know if tonight was a rebirth of "Quick" Swick, or just a showcasing of Goulet's bad chin.. I mean, let's not forget, almost half the time we've seen Goulet in the octagon, he was getting [T]KO'd.. and despite winning, he got knocked silly in his last fight as well.. 5. Ever since the very first time i saw him on TUF, i've liked Ben Saunders.. he's just hilarious.. but to see him improve so much, and get this devistating, just fills my heart with joy.. he's perfectly well rounded, he comes off a sub win straight into a ko win.. i love it.. his display tonight was BEAUTIFUL.. i was laughing during it because i was just so happy for him.. good job.. beautiful knees :) 6. I was actually having trouble picking the winner for Kos/Yoshida.. Kos just never loses, and when he does, it's to guys like GSP and Alves [who also never lose :) ] but i know Yoshida's a pretty smart fighter, and i thought Kos may underestimate him.. let's just say, although i though Kos would win, i NEVER saw it happening like that.. i would've never picked a brutal standing knockout.. good work, though :) 1.
