To his credit , he can take a punch.... Video: http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Cain_Velasquez_vs_Cheick_Kongo_UFC_99_The_Comebac?vid=10005305 And Kongo is so ****ing clueless on the ground it's incredible....
Well, he dominated from start to finish minus 2 or 3 punches which rattled him. His chin looks suspect but he's got far enough with it!
sure he dominated but this fight highlights how one dimensional he actually is...No sub offense....too many missed opportunities...it's ridiculous... But he's got his wrestling....great control...Solid wrestling. I doubt he'll be able to keep that belt for long though..
If Kongo had a clue he would of finished Cain at least once. I agree boxingcar maybe a title defence or two but it's a tough division to keep on top of. If JDS has a good ground game I'd be surprised if he can with stand him.
I still dont understand why this caveman is still in the UFC. Kongo is garbage. He has the ring intelligence of a child. Additionally he's socalled striking is nonsense.
I think the Kongo fight can just be written off as a bad day at the office. I don't see him making those mistakes again, and he is now a lot more eager to finish fights.
