Just when I was thinking "how about a kick", seemed like a perfect moment to finish off a dazed bullrusher

Whitaker certainly has the power to hang with MWs so the fact he was a WW only serves an advatage in that he he isn't giving up speed now.

Please remember Whittaker was a WW when he was 20-22, lol.  


He was just growing through that weight class on his way to MW.

That made up for any other low ( not high ) points on card ( I thought it was pretty good one )

@Breaux, I hear ya mate ... I was surprised at the fact he didn't look tiny when they met next to Herb. It's amazing how I've been watching so much MMA for so long and I still get surprized by size differences (or lack thereof) on a consistent basis. 

I'm so bad at gauging those things.
