Prediction: correct Etherington   wrong KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Karl Etherington 7-0 flies to Michigan to compete in the $100,000 dollar grand prix tournament against Jason Fish 2-0 USA.
Karl from Blackpool, Lancashire ranked 8th in his weight class by the british Judo association flying the flag for the UK in the Heavyweight clash on the 31st of Jan.
Holding the current record for MMA knockouts finishing all 7 opponents within 26 seconds, karl has devastating knock out power sure to give Jason Fish something to think about !

Geez the dude looks jacked, kinda looks like a British Shane Carwin when he was in his prime



Finishing 7 fights in under a minute is very impressive...

I'm sure he's good, but he never fought someone with a positive record. His opponents (according to Sherdog): 0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-4, 4-7, 2-6, 1-7

He looks a little like young(er) Mark Coleman to me. 7 finishes in 50 seconds or less sounds impressive, but it's hard to gauge his skill level, since his opponents have a combined record of 7-27. Then again if Overeem, JDS or Cain fought any of these guys, the results would be probably very close.

Can crusher gonna crush. He'll win this fight and get smashed in the tourney by one of those Russian heavyweights they have.

I bet with those muscles he gasses out if he goes passed the 2:30 mark (where almost any non-can will most likely take him).

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets popped for PED's once he crosses into US sanctioning territory. That physique doesn't look "natural" to me ... let's hope for him he's got his cycles right :)

Etherington won his fight with a verbal submission to some tepid ground and pound at 3:45, but I have to say that despite the Perfect I wasn't too impressed with him. Like, at all. And yes, he gassed pretty fast.

That was perhaps the worst performance I've ever seen from a HW ever in a win. That was horrible.
