press him throws couple jab right there he should have been punching that’s what he wants right there yeah if he can do this and he can keep on his feet for a while more of a chance toing like something like something happened in his eye that that is uh Randy might have got poked in the eye there Randy is wincing in pain that’s not good because if vitto sees a weakness that’s confidence and when vitto builds confidence it’s trouble yeah van Randy looks like there’s something seriously wrong yeah did he tweak a knee or something they’re going to call a timeout back back corner and John McCarthy’s going to check it out first punch something happen first punch he said something happened you know that’s let’s take a look at the replay looks like you got a finger in the eye oh you know

kidding me they’re going to stop fight my goodness they’ve got to stop my God they have stopped the fight let’s take a look at the punch that caused the damage it looks like it just grazed his eyeball it’s like a little finger that came across his face clipped his eye cuz it didn’t hit him so it must have been a part of his finger coming out of there caught him in the eye tough to see it from that angle Randy’s still trying to talk to the doctors Dr Mar looks like it just grazed the eye it could have easily been the the glove just barely touched it sometimes a grazing punch cut you a lot better than a punch that slams you straight on yeah this right here is a going to get a clear look at it here that left hand yep just graze his eye ladies and gentlemen due to a punch there was a very dangerous cut on the lower eyelid that was torn into the eye on the doctor’s recommendation referee Big John McCarthy has put a stop to this contest declaring the winner and new UFC light heavyweight champion of the world the Phenom VOR Bell one years old I have no idea just dominant and again I was saying before when we showed the replay the SK the set of skills that you have in mixed martial arts is very different than the set of skills you have in boxing boxing is much more dependent on reflexes and youth you can compete much longer at a later age and be very successful in mixed martial arts not merely reaction time and physical speed and skill there so many other things are involved and strength strength is the last thing to lose Randy go is obviously incredibly strong man at the age of 41 and you speak of that Joe and I think it illustrates more perfectly why a man who uses his strength and control like Randy Couture can be more successful in later years than perhaps a younger fighter who was more about explosiveness a baron or a belf for yes or an orlovski a striker yes absolutely absolutely Randy Couture is all about imposing his game which is Greco Roman wrestling Eddie Bravo round three another 10 round 10 n round for Randy Couture this fight doesn’t look like it’s going to last much longer I mean there’s blood everywhere to vor’s credit he is trying
