Todd Duffee

I found a video of a crowd reaction (a bar crowd) to Todd Duffee's record setting KO last night against Tim Hague. For those of you who missed it, Duffee landed a jab that floored Hague and then layed him out within six or seven seconds, setting a new UFC record for the fastest KO. But wait, why read this when you can listen to a recap of the fight, complete with creative pronunciations of last names. Duff? Hog? Hagoo? After watching that bar reaction, these videos were suggested to me by my favorite Skynet-like video service, YouTube. I love it.

Also, can someone explain to me what is up with so many people reading play by plays and making videos of them? It isn't just younger people either, there are lots of grown men who seem to think that their dramatic reading of a Marcus Aurelio fight is going to land them a seat next to Wolf Blitzer. Being into something is great, but I really can't understand the motivation to create these sorts of videos. I haven't seen the future of journalism, but it is probably not this.

Watch the videos, after the jump.

You know, everybody thought Mike Swick was awesome when he was running through lower level talent in rapid fashion, too. I’m not trying to take anything away from Duffee, but he beat the gentle, Canadian version of Tim Sylvia.

Oh, I completely agree. Duffee is a green fighter who fought another green fighter, but the performance was still great. I think that it’s a combination of his physique, the speed of his win, and his training team that has people excited for his potential. He really is the most lean big heavyweight I can think of, and it seems that the trend is going towards huge guys now that Brock has shown how futile pure skill can be against size.
