Your every day average Joe wants to see the heavyweights and we've been building up to this for over a year. We get our HW unification and it turns into a boring shit fest... now all the work that's been done the past year has taken a serious hit and all the people that were brought in probably just went, "what the fuck is this shit?" and went back to UFC. Vlad is a fucking asshole pussy for that performance. He obviously knew the ramifications of this bout and didn't give a shit. So I say fuck him and pray that someone with some balls can come around that weighs over 200 lbs.
Wladimir, given his history fought a smart fight and Sultan was crafty and was really trying to land hard punches.

It was a bad match up of styles is all....it's not that either fighter didn't try. Wlad usually doesn't need too many right crosses to KO someone and Sultan couldn't be more active due to that big ass jab.


ODH-PBF and Taylor-Pavlik are all right handed fighters and their styles mesh
