Can hardly think of any, more results that upset me, like Fedor Bigfoot and Shogun Jones Was happy for JDS to win the strap, and happy for Brock to come back from the dead and beat Carwin, but its most emotional results for me have been the sad ones :-|
How can anyone not cheer for Lauzon. Been a fan since I saw him on TUF, and I recently watched the card that had him vs Pulver on it. Both guys were just real class acts after the fight. Jens spoke very well and was incredibly gracious considering the shocking and comprehensive defeat he'd just suffered, and Lauzon was humble and realistic in victory. On topic, two that I was very pleased to see recently (old fights that I watched recently, that is) were Jardine over Liddell, and Cro Cop over Pat Barry. Jardine because I respect him as an honest, blue-collar workhorse who thoroughly deserved his day in the sun. And Cro Cop because it was good to see the legend pull one out of the bag in front of a bunch of Croatian fans at the ass end of his career. And again, the way he spoke after the fight made it very easy to be pleased for him. :hat
:good Jardine gets a lot of unfair stick on this board. Hes not the most talented guy out there but hes a real trier and a decent guy. Like you say, was good to see him get his day in the sun
Wanderlei over Cung Le. K1, but Aerts defeating Semmy Schilt in the 2010 GP is one of my favorite moments in sports ever.
I was super happy when Fedor beat Rogers. Sad when Fedor lost to Bigfoot. Fedor is one of my favorite fighters. I saw him live twice. Sad to see him dominated that way.
Russow KO Duffee. It was like the little victim fat kid turning on the jock bully. It was ****ing hilarious. But to be honest this is more about me being happy about the guy losing than the guy winning. Another slice of schadenfreude anyone?
BJ Penn W Kenny Florian - sub RNC 4 Confirmation Penn was still the worlds best LW after a severe beating from St Pierre
Tito vs Bader was wild. Nog vs Schaub was amazing. I love those underdog where the odds are against them.
