“Best of the Best” fight show took place on September 6, 2012 in Belem, Brazil. Paulo Filho was (22-4-2) and Ninja Rua was (20-12-1).
Talk about a bad stoppage
Ninja looked so out of shape
short stoppage
A little there, Mario.
*early*
A little early there, Mario.
quick stopage
that was retarded
Wow, horrible technic there. Early stoppage also. Good for them for going out there and fighting but it was quite a train wreck overall.
Controversial? I think so!!
a little quick but ninja was out
wow…Im not sure if I liked his boxing stile but it did the trick. Brazilians are good fighters but so many of them have too little head movement and they bring their guard down when they are punching…basic s***.
All that training,, and they both fight like two drunk bums.. Love it.. a little fast stoppage,, but has looked pretty done.
early stoppage,ninja was only setting up the td with all these taken gorilla punches.
premature anyone?
He got rocked…but wasn’t out and was still trying to fight….early stoppage…
punches didnt look to good. i say early stoppage, but then again ninja did hold on to his leg and keep tugging. if the ref stopped the fight he stopped the fight. hanging on to his leg just makes you seem out of your wits
That was ridiculous!!!
Yeah, sure the guy went down for ‘A’ second but he grabbed the leg straight away… It looks as if he could have been going for the leg anyway, not being knocked out.
Maybe not the smartest way to fight but the guy didnt get a fair chance imo.
On a side note those shots looked like some might have looped to the back of the head anyway
Mazagati is just too stubborn to admit he might have reacted prematurely so he stopped the fight to save face.
Really this was a terrible stoppage.
Wow…that seemed a bit early
Too early!!!
How can you have 33 fights and still not tuck your chin? And, abandon your game plan at the first test?
Lol weird finish, thanks bruno. I didn’t even hear about thiss event.
Yamasaki ruins another one….
Someone needs to tell Ninja that Muffin Tops are for breakfast only.
So glad these guys are relegated to fighting small shows… that was an embarrassing performance by both fighters… They looked completely amateur, and with that much experience behind both fighters, it’s sad to watch them continue to throw their careers into the gutter.
lol………………….
Ahem.
I was kinda sorta expecting more. ![]()
Ninja has been left behind, in an ever evolving sport. (A la Tito)
Plus, I thought he retired after that beatdown in the UK last year!?
P.S. Honestly, did you think that Ninja was gunna get the takedown after getting his equilibrium shifted!?
Mario Quick-a-stop-ki 1, you 0. ![]()
I thought Ninja had retired…
ninja seriously need to improve or retired
Arona looked so happy to see a Rua get knocked down lololololol
When will this dude make a comeback???
that fight reminded me of me in bed last night
Doesn’t ninja have brain damage??? Why is he still fighting? If that’s the case I agree with the stoppage cant let him get even more f***** in the brain.
A good stoppage – to get this garbage over with.
I’m tired of these late stoppages. Mario should’ve stopped it as soon as one punch landed. I’m serious too. There’s no way Ninja should be fighting in his brain damaged state.
By watching that fight you could never guess both of these guys used to be top fighters…
