Holy sh*t, Boetsch hit him with a good many uppercuts at the end, but a couples of em’ were extra painful to even watch. Damn good fight. BUT.. Honestly, Okami was a lil too confident when he came out for round 3.. He shoulda kept himself focused, as you Beosch had done.
joe rogan went crazy
Rogan was going wild!
but did he forget about Kongo’s comeback against Pat Barry? that was epic
that was an awesome fight
Okami should’ve bagged this but his concentration slipped for a second. Great fight though!
What happend to Okami? Looked another fighter.
Holy cow. While Pettis’ was good I feel like this should have won Knockout of the Night. Too bad there wasn’t a “Comeback of the Night” award.
Best single round of Tim Boetsch’s entire career. Amazing.
nah, i reckon his best singles round was when he threw david heath against the cage at ufc 81.
First things first, Okami is one of my favorite fighter, but he looked like he was ready to coast in that third round. Sh*t! He looked awesome up until then.
Lay and pray by Okami until Tim put his sorry a*s out. I’ve seen FW’s with better gnp and more power in them than Okami’s soft pillow punches.
