man, i had a brain fart in my last post, i said that barnett was the underdog, i mean kharitonov is the slight underdog
anywho, people think Reem didn't look like himself during that fight. i disagree, he did look like himself in the first round. he started not looking like himself because you and many have not seen him past the first round in a long time. since 06, in 15 fights, he's only gone to second round twice,..... TWICE!!! 13 of them was finished in the first round. AND, he's only went to the 3rd rd 3 times in his entire pro mma career!!! 8 of his fights was finished in the 2nd rd. he's got 46 fights under his belt.
so this is why i am still not a believer, this last fight proved a major, major hole in his game and it's his cardio. he was an absolute beast in the first round, werdum got rag dolled bad. it continued into the second also until they both started showing fatigue. so since we are so used to seeing his fights end so early and him looking great, we are shocked when it goes to 2-3 rds when he looks gassed and vulnerable at times
btw, i predict Bigfoot vs Barnett in the final.
