    Agreed. It's still a car crash... BUT it's one that's at least on the level.

    Ike and Rahman would break him in half like a stalk of celery. I doubt Byrd could even curl a 20 pound dumbbell.

    It'll be interesting. An AIDS patient vs a morbidly obese man who can't walk to the ring without his knees bucking and needs to use the ring ropes to support himself.

    Agree with this. In MMA we got to see some fantastic fights between old fighters that were equally past it.

    They're both terrible. I've seen better fighters on the Perth Foreshore at New Years.

    Yeah Byrd isn't doing the stereotype of Vegans being anemic weaklings any favors.

    Terribly sad to see. I have to wonder who the hell Byrd was sparring to think he was in good form? They would have to be ridiculously mediocre amateurs for him to shine at this point.

    He wasn't as hurt as people think and he was slipping many shots.
    Its his LEGS that are the problem he can't absorb anything because his legs are gone.
