The Maurice Smith vs. Jorge Cordoba bout took place on 3/30/2012.
Goose bumps! It really is surreal to see Mo in there, and still knocking dudes senseless. Smith, Ruas, and Rutten, are the ones who ushered in the first era of real striking in MMA. An era that still set as the blueprint for mma striking.
Regardless that was like stealing candy from a baby.
Maurice looked good there. He actually looked 30, not 50.
I would say that the size (and technique) difference may have compensated for the age, but who cares? The guy is a legend and he beat the crap out of a fighter almost half his age.
I hope that he will get a better fight next time.
Gilbert Yvel could be a good match, but it might be too much for Smith.
Houston Alexander might be a more competitive one, as Houston is much smaller…
Maurice Smith has alot of experince! Its sad too see that kid getting beat up. let Maurice fight with Mark Coleman Randy Couture or James lightsout tony
wow.. Go Mo…
Great to see Maurice Smith still going at 50, but let’s face it, the guy he beat was a can. He could’ve finished him off in the first round if he wanted to.
Good to see Mo take it so seriously at 50, great finish too. Mo vs Alexander would be interesting. Go Mo!
now promoters will put him in sum shows…that was a mismatch but still a azz whippn. WoW
He should fight Dan Severn. Would be an interesting fight.
jorge cordoba sucks what the hell not taking anything from maurice but give me a break.
i want to see bas rutten vs smith i say bas all day.
@mmaboxingfan2
That would be an awesome “old timers” fight haha.But I don’t think Bas can fight anymore.He had a problem with a nerve in his arm almost paralyzing it and he has no more cartilege in his knees.
Jorge cordoba is a great fighter, and mo was just better! but you will all see Jorge Cordoba agin trust me amd you’ll chang your oppion!
