@Everyone above me–you are all very tough keyboard warriors. Prior to this fight Russow had 4 straight wins in the UFC and 11 straight wins in MMA overall. He is not a can. He’s a tough wrestler. He knocked out Todd Duffee while fighting with a broken arm (broken in first or second round). Not everyone in life, especially HWs, is cut like a bodybuilder. Russow is strong and well conditioned.

Lot’s of back of the head shot’s,Herb dean Suck’s, but that’s what the U.F.C wanted,when they fight in Brazil they almost always stack the cards in Brazils favor for the fans.

Who is Russow and how, besides being the convenient can to toss to Werdum when invading Brazil with their franchise (the UFC) to ramp up popularity, is Russow relevant in the top HW’s?

Like where do these guys hang in between everyone?

I guess you’ve got to have them but can’t can fight cans and then move on up….it’s not rocket science Mr “The only place where the best fighters fight the best all the time is the UFC” Silva.

All props to Russow, the guy is tough as nails but may be a bit past his prime or just not ready for the big leagues, he had a great run though.

I think Werdum’s standup is doing much better, he even looked good in standup vs Overeem, but he decided to have an Anderson Silva moment and act a little strange by begging Overeem to go to the ground with him, which is ok for proving a point but not for winning a fight.
Werdum might make it quite competitive in a fight with Dos Santos assuming JDS gets past Cain.

@dazzers. Not too harsh. Russow looked like a sick fat guy with a hangover. Hello Bellator…Russow vs Brett Rogers

Mike Russow- Fat, Slow, and no real boxing ability by heavyweight standards. Hard to see what there is to like about him. Am I being to harsh? probably
