Tim Sylvia, Georges St. Pierre and Mirko Cro Cop all have one thing in common right now, they have all been beaten decisively by what the majority of the fight community once considered as underdogs.
While Randy Couture not exactly flying under the radar his victory was considered a milestone in an already successful career. Then there was Matt Serra who dominated St. Pierre and most recently Gabriel Gonzaga who knocked out Mirko Cro Cop via a head kick. No one including myself saw neither one of those coming!
These fights are the trademark of a growing sport in which at any moment an individual can find themselves asking “what happened?”. Will this trend continue and what should the next couple of cards bring the fans. Who is next?
I predict that Rampage will knock out Chuck Liddell with an overhand right and Gabriel Gonzaga will shock the world and take the belt from Couture! The beauty is no-one knows, not even Dana White himself.
Here’s a video of Liddell Vs. Rampage from 2003, one of them won decisively via TKO strikes…
