I respect Atencio, he did well for a guy with a couple of fights. I just wish he could do the same for affliction…

Wow, Atencio is for real.

Even if it was just an amateur fight it looked very technical, nice.

True words in the end too.

thx 4 upload!

FIRST!
Okay well putting aside it was Randy’s debut pro fight, hats off to Tom! He out grinded and had more heart than a young man in his twenties and tom is what like 42?! Very impressed with Tom’s recovery and ability to take some licks and he dealt good damage! Was definately not expecting this to be the most exciting fight on the card but to me it was for sure. I know there will be haters on Tom but i mean the guy really is just stepping in the cage for love of the sport and to experience it, and at his age and going 2-0 regardless of his opponents I have gained respect for him.

how can u not respect this guy? 42 year old with the money he has, and puts up a hell of a fight. I think it could actually have been fight of the night.

Wow all the respect in the world for someone getting in the cage and fighting mma. Great stuff for Atencio, I really thought he was just a promoter but he did a great job.

Randy gave up as soon as he got to the corner. He says something like “im done” and he quit at that point.

project pat Says, in 6-28-2009 at 07:13:52 from 74.193.128.216    

not a very impressive win against a no one. Tom is a great guy but it would be hard to train from a guy knowing they have never had any competition. Its like fantasy fighting. Instructing how something should go down without ever experiencing first hand. Easier said then done as shown. I would rather train from a guy like nog who you know could whip your ass. It is less credible and harder to respect and listen to your instructor knowing its all bull shit because you would destroy them

Tom broke that kid’s will…Henddrick was in his corner saying he couldn’t continue. He could have pulled it out…I think first round should’ve been 10-8 for Henddrick.

Tom Atencio looks better at 42 than Ken Shamrock did. TA is a pretty exciting fighter, but he takes too much damage for being an over 40 dude. I wonder if TA will have trouble finding his next fight.

i actually liked how atencio fought this. not a smart way. but damn entertaining. Sure it wasn’t against someone who was great but then again, atencio only had only 1 fight prior to this too. So, good on atencio. humble ending.

Steve Jennum Says, in 6-28-2009 at 11:44:53 from 71.107.199.195    

The announcers kept repeating how impressed they were, like they were expecting him to be in a rocking chair the whole time. They were surprised he was able to fight. If I was Atencio, I’d be pissed at those dudes. Just call the fight.

Good fuckin fight nice…Tom mass respects, he did a few epidsodes of hd net fights always well spoken and does a good job for affliction as co-pres. He must of a energy drink, AMP just a SIP of that I get regerated THIS SHIT WORKS GUYS IM SERIOUS, I drink that 3 am I feel like I just woke up in 5 minutes with pure energy, AMP works for me idk what works for TOM but obviously he had something, and it wasnt training I’m sure of that.

Wow, i did not expect to be this impressed by Atencio. I know this wasn’t a professional opponent, but Atencio did a great job and had a great display of skills. He survived that first round after being rocked BAD, a lot of guys would’ve lost composure and lost the fight. He had a VERY strong second round with good takedowns, striking and sprawl. His conditioning was VERY good for a 42 year old amateur. He seems like a different person to the one you see in the Affliction press conferences.

mmapunk Says, in 6-28-2009 at 18:15:38 from 71.173.244.75    

I don’t care what anyone says; I was very impressed with Tom! I began watching this fight with no knowledge of his MMA abilities, other than knowing he had like one fight or so previously, and after the fight was stopped (and even before that) I was respecting him!

Think about it: this guy is 42 years old, only had 1 or 2 fights, and he looks better than a lot of the guys who come on TUF who not only have slightly more experience but are also 10-20 years younger than Tom.

Lastly, the guy has more heart than most! The fact that he is even getting into the cage considering his circumstances is remarkable, but more so, he can take a beating and then come back to give one. I don’t care what Dana White thinks about this guy personally, but I better not ever hear him criticizing or questioning Tom’s MMA abilities or decision to fight. I believe without a doubt that Tom would put a beaten on DW.

belfort_fan Says, in 6-28-2009 at 19:35:47 from 75.80.83.5    

I would beat Tom if i fought him. He didnt show any outstanding skills like you guys are saying. However he did show great recovery from being rocked.

theetompster Says, in 6-28-2009 at 19:48:20 from 174.3.107.8    

i was impressed by his cardio. that younger guy was gassing yet tom was still going strong. that was impressive. this guy loves this sport and can do some real good things for it.

lol at people who are saying he fought a can. tom has one fight. hes not a professional fighter whos in any rankings, hes just an amateur and so he fight an amateur. why would he fight any more than an amateur just because he owns a business? just because you know his name doesnt mean hes a top notch fighter who should be fighting top notch competition. dana/ufc nuthuggers are so ignorant.

Tom Atencio would get embarrassed if he fought Rogan.

Do some research.

Dana could never make 160,
ever.

pumpingiron2k Says, in 6-29-2009 at 12:01:33 from 156.145.89.104    

To all the Dana nut huggers, get off them. First off it is not tom always talking about Dana because Dana is always talking about any new org or existing claiming they are garbage. He said the same about Pride and let Chuck compete and we all saw what happened. Which is why at the time when Big TIm was champ we would not agree to a deal to fight Fedor. Dana has no respect for fighters hence the money problems he’s had with many of his top fighters. By the way Dana also talked crap about having freaks shows in his org so what do we call Brock Lesnar? Oh an now Kimbo on TUF and if any of you have seen the promo for the new season you will see they are pushing Kimbo so if Dana disliked Kimbo so much why have him on the commercial like he was already in the UFC? Because win or loose he will have a contract with the UFC. Tom never has anything negative or foul mouth to say that’s why I respect the guy.

Anybody at ANY age steps into the cage get PROPS. AT 42 and has MONEY and doesn’t NEED to do this? MASSIVE PROPS! and to WIN over someone almost half his age, ‘amateur’ or not, also said ‘amateur’ can KNOCK YUR ASS OUT just like a pro can = CONGRATS!! Dana, well that’s just ‘damage control’ LOL!! Rogan on the other hand…would likely bend him in half, but hey, ya NEVER KNOW until you “Open the Cage Door”. (I’m SURE Rogan respects Tom Atencio regardless of who signs his paycheck) WAR ATENCIO!!!

A pretty good fight. As a casual fan of MMA, I thought that was pretty dam good. I’m 42 and could never do that…but then again, I do play ice hockey, so that counts for something.

Anyway… nice fight, really wish Hedderick could’ve continued.
