    Love the Holland highlights and interview with the man, and the fact that a guy with a record like his could come back and end up in high profile television bouts really making something of his career. Good stuff, both these guys had guts and heart for days. Shame not many fighters like Holland get real chances anymore! It's become even more about the big 0 since this fight took place.

    Watch the second round of this one and tell me that that's not top tier excitement. Love it.

    Bump for a really good fight with some lesser talked about fighters.

    "The Outlaw Jesse" James Hughes. He was a genuine badass. Between fights he used to rob drug dealers. He wound up dead in a swamp. Likely beat up and robbed the wrong person.
