So this one was an accident while Sugar Sean's was due to Vera's work? We just gonna ignore Jan checked it multiple times throughout the fight? Might have precipitated the injury

Rakic was looking good with speed adv while striking from the outside, as soon as his legs started getting compromised he had to walk into range to handfight which is Jan's world. Well deserved win

Janny Blackjacks!!!!!

Happy for Jan!

Gutted for Rakic, sad to see anyone lose like that.

Also, did we really need the 5 slow motion instant replays of the knee popping?

Was bound to happen. He was breathing heavy as **** and his other leg was already destroyed. Jan kept checking it and this was probably the reason it dislocated (I'm assuming) He was going to lose sooner or later. He's never seen a 4th round nor wrestled before so his gas tank probably wasn't used to it. Good fight while it lasted. **** way to end a fight , no matter what.

It was 1-1 with a razor close round and a dominant round. Rakic could go back to the ground any time and Jan accepts bottom position like nobody's business.

Damn. I almost want Glover to win now so Jan can knock him out and destroy him as revenge. Idk if I can handle Jiri losing to an old man though

Ah well decent night of fights and picks. Feel a little unlucky with the Rakic fight but thats the game I guess.

Good luck for next week guys!

True but Rakic looked more tired and his legs were pretty compormised even without the injury, definitely no guarantee he would've gone through or won championship rounds

This reminded me of the McGregor injury. Sucks to see, hope Rakic recovers and gets the belt eventually.

Damn that sucks, Rakic was winning the fight up until that freak injury. I think rematch should be made because Rakic was on his way to a dominant victory or late finish.
