As a whole, I love MMA. It’s unpredictable, capable of turning itself on it’s head in a split second. And yet, for those reasons, I hate heavyweight MMA sometimes. After coming seconds short of 25 minutes of sheer boredom between Jairzinho Rozenstuik and Alistair Overeem, Rozenstruik turned that narrative on its head as Rozenstuik delivered one of the most hellacious KO’s seen in this brutal sport. It was bad enough that Overeem’s split lip made Robbie Lawler’s from his war with Rory MacDonald seem like child’s play. I suppose the reason I hate it is knowing the I have to pay attention to what can be – and was in this case – a miserable contest for the possibility of extreme violence.
