Holy (expletive)! Dana White 'blown away' by Mike Russow's KO comeback over Todd Duffee

Quoteworthy:
"I was like 'Holy Shit!' I said the same thing everybody else said. I was blown away. ([Mike Russow] was getting picked apart but what a tough guy though, took some big, big shots. He stayed in there, kept his composure and stayed in this fight getting peppered, hammered and drilled with big shots and then ended up pulling off one of his own. It says a lot about him as a fighter and as a human being."
UFC President Dana White shares his reaction to the stunning, come-from-behind win for Mike Russow at UFC 114 back on May 29. The Chicago cop was on the receiving end of a bona fide ass kicking for two rounds against Todd Duffee in their heavyweight mash-up, until a third round Scott Smith-style miracle knockout punch flattened his muscular foe. Russow slammed his own performance following the contest but should feel a little better about himself after collecting 65 G's for "Knockout of the Night." Best comeback ever? Or biggest collapse ever?

The punch looked like it hit him on the temple
Any good shot to the temple will drop anyone.
Combine that with being gassed and it’s an easy KO
theory
94% of fighters have pretty much equivalent “chins” that are neither glass nor infallible. these 94% can sometimes walk through some big shots, and sometimes go down from one well placed shot. There are 3% on either side of this 94, the super-chins and the no-chins. top 3% is guys like BJ, Nog (until recently), Rampage, Hendo, and apparently Mike Russow. the other end is Goulet, Jardine, etc. everyone else fals into the range of ‘normal’
Well...yeah.
essentially:
“Most guys have normal chins, some guys have better chins, and some guys have bad chins”
This…people know this.

So where does Russow go from here? Is he a prospect even at 35, because he KOed a pretty solid fighter in Duffee, and many are claiming that Russow is a better fighter than Duffee because he won the fight by KO no less? Russow only has one loss in his career, and I have heard that some think that Russow will go far especially with the chin that he has.
when Duffee woke up
he had that “What?” surfer response on his face…I lol’ed
by Jon-Michael Herlth on May 30, 2010 11:55 AM EDT reply actions
lol
I like when guys snap right back into it after the ref stops the fight like “nah I’m good” – how are you good when you just woke up after being punched in the face?
I know that...
but when you’re fighting and all of a sudden, the next thing you know, the ref is waiving the other guy off you and asking you if you’re alright… you should know something just happened, lol.
I think they’re so confused and so programmed and focused to go forward and keep fighting that they still think they’re still legitimately in the fight.
You're right
A loss of consciousness results in a brief period of amnesia. So, he probably didn’t know he got KO’d in the first place.

That is why you see guys out on their feet or on their back rolling for he refs legs. While your mind may be out instinctually your body still defends (assuming you are not completely out).
I was a fool for ever doubting Shogun. I should be ashamed for never giving him a chance to get healthy. Shogun made Machida look B-level-Just like my bet made me look b-level!
ya know..
im sure u guys are gonna go around saying he sucks and blah blah, but i’ll give him a break, he looked good untill he got caught, i hope this fight makes him a better fighter and the fact that he atleast rocked russow was impressive. im alittle glad at the 3 no names making a good performance because it will help build sum names..

Its a good thing
He was so humble after his 8 sec Hague knockout. People were all aboard the Duffee hype train, except for Duffee himself. He knew he had alot to work on, and that still looks like the case. He did look good for a while and I’m surprised he didn’t gas out before he got KO’d.

If he went to sleep from one shot from a doughy grappler, then he’s in a world of trouble when one of the huge strikers in the division touches his chin.

oh come on p-dub
i knew russow was going to get him because even though he isn’t famous he is over looked but i think a lot of guys would’ve got laid out with that punch. he hit him right on the temple man that is a bullseye all day man if you get hit there then more then likely your going down

Are you serious?
“i knew russow was going to get him”?? Seriously? The only possible way you could have “known” that is when Duffee was on his way down. You may have thought somewhere in your mind"it would be funny if this guy who threw three real punches this whole fight comes back and KO’s this guy." But don’t try to tell anybody that you saw it coming. Please rephrase that comment, for your own credibility.

haah yea, maybe b4 the fight u guessed it, but its hard to believe that during the beating u called that punch, man i hope duffee comes back better. hes got a great head on his shoulders, even though we saw it get hit..

umm
yea my bad when i said get him i meant like beat him. Of course i was skeptical once i saw the actual fight but I even told my buddies that he had to ko or submit him to win. I even put money down on him. People overlook him cuz hes not known an chunky but theres a reason he has only one loss. im not saying hes the next best thing but props are given where props are due. but to be honest i kinda lost hope in him winning but then boom duffee is down. no need to jump all over me cuz of that dude.

he was fat-tastic..
i don’t recall it being an upper-cut, but i cud be wrong, it was still a great punch though i believe he shud’nt be happy with his preformance besides the punch..

My Favorite Part
was the little cat paw slap of GNP he did at the end. The KO was great and Im sure he just realized Duffee was KO and restrained himself after he began to punch, but it was still a very very little pat on Duffee’s face
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
That was awesome,
I guess looking like a real life terminator doesnt really matter when you catch one clean on the chin. Didnt look like a very hard shot but I guess if it gets you right out you go!
i thought it hit him on the head, ur chin does’nt matter wen u get hit in the head ha..

I thought Guillards knee TKO of Lowe was amazing, and Hathaway outpointing Diego to emerge as a new contender, and Brilz classy carrying of himself after putting up a much biggest test then most thought, were all big moments. Exciting for sure. And Evans doing exactly what I said. Muahaha, but I didn’t predict he’d send Rampage spinning across the cage in the first punch!

That Diego-Hathaway fight pissed me off. I’m a big Diego fan, but man he offered nothing. Even when he landed a decent punch he ate a couple in return. Looks like he may have to go to Strikeforce or Bellator to fulfill his championship destiny.

Russow's flab seems to work for him
He looked just as out of shape against McCully but never gassed and won easily, he may not have Todd’s physique but he wasn’t the one sucking wind after the first round. Looks can be deceiving and Mike shut a lot of people up with that one punch.

Look at Russow’s reaction. He’s like oh shit I just knocked this dude out!!! I think he was kinda in shock lol… That love that was sweet Jack. I was in shock when he knocked him out..
I'm 6'2 255
Which is right between these guys in height, I’m also right in between these guys as far as my body. Not as fat as Russow, not as ripped as Duffee. I told everybody that if Russow wins, I’m going to stay fat and call it a day, otherwise I’m putting in some work like I have been the last few weeks. Looks like I can save myself some gym time now.
BTW I loved that little hammer fist at the end, makes me laugh every time I see it.
he really just slipped back and was ready to get back up, until he got caught with that huge ass hammer fist, thats wat put him down..

He remained composed throughout. He slowed down and was losing his initial dominance, but he just got caught. He fucked up.

Off topic but did anyone catch the Buffer warm up?
Did anyone else see Buffer in the background before the Bisping fight? He was warming up like a fighter. He was jumping up and down, shaking his legs and arms out, taking deep breaths and all. Almost in sync with the fighter, and you can see the people sitting around him just looking at him in bewilderment. That dude is off a bit I think.

This comment from Rogan along with some other things he said
Really, Really got on my nerves, it’s the first event where Joe has gotten on my nerves so badly with some seriously WHACK commentary. “Greatest comeback in UFC history” PLZ JOE, christ.. apparently you never saw Lutter vs Eastman, or Pete Sell vs Scott Smith?? There wasn’t anything spectacular about a buff 250+ lbs dude gassing and then getting KTFO cause he was tired as all hell. Props to Russow for hanging in there but seriously Duffy was gassed by mid rd 2.
Then his comment on what an impressive performance Rashad gave, and how awesome he did… Get off the shit your smoking Joe. That was at least 2-3 minutes in every rd of Rashad pressing Page up against the cage and doing NOTHING. Not that it was a bad fight, cause I’ve seen worse, and it wasn’t omg, i’m falling asleep boring. But it wasn’t some spectacular, awe inspiring performance either.

agree then disagree
I noticed that too and then he came in and almost had an orgasm telling him again “I don’t know how you can’t be happy for having the best comeback I’ve seen in my 10 yrs of commentating MMA!”, lol fuck off, Lawler catching Manhoef was weirder and crazier. I mean maybe that was Lesnar he did that to, but we didn’t know sh*t about Duff and I even said pre fight for weeks that Duff would win in less then impressive manner. And I was wrong, but nonetheless he got exposed. Le/Smith of course was better as well. Its really easy to say “One of…”, I wish he would’ve here as well.
As for Evans though, I was very impressed. I knew that was exactly what he needed to do and was the only man cheering for him at the house of dudes I was at (apparently the crowd pagers too), and after Shad sending Page for a loop in the opening 20 seconds then utilizing the patented Jackson Gameplan, I couldn’t have been more happy with the way he maintained composure and took the fight exactly where he needed to, stalling Rampage almost entirely.

Randy didn’t take Vera down though did he? Nor did he do any damage if I can recall correctly. Rashad at least did a little more than that.
How many TD's did Rashad get? 2? And Page was right back up no?
Page almost put Rashad away in the 3rd, Randy got caught in the 1st. Both fights, the majority of the fight time was spent pressed up against the cage with little inside knees to the thigh. No sir, Evans did NOT do a whole lot more than Couture did against Vera aside from landing a nice right hand in the 1st rd.

I agree— I’ve said all along—he didn’t really do much, but Couture practically did NOTHING. Rashad at least did something.
But I agree that people shouldn’t be going on about this like Rashad is the “superior” fighter. He didn’t conquer Rampage, he didn’t humiliate him or even outclass him. He won on points. He did enough to win a close fight, but didn’t dominate.
A rematch would be good eventually. Rampage would have a good shot to win.
Couture landed 59 strikes in the fight believe it or not
my only point was, two different fight; same strategy, one guy gets crucified for it, the other is a genius… how the hell???

Randy was a favourite and barely did anything against Vera other than hold him and get beaten up
Rashad was an underdog who rocked Rampage with the first punch, actually succeeded with meaningful takedowns in a dominant position and beat up Rampage with ground and pound when he did take him down, even after being hurt and almost being stopped. What more did you want him to do?

He failed on 9 TD attempts and spent 3-4 minutes of each rd
Pressing Page up against the fence kneeing him in the thigh.. Get real.. Aside from the first right hand in rd 1 I didn’t see what was so impressive about the performance.

Yeah, I think the basis for your argument is valid. But there are only two pictures in my mind’s eye of that fight:
(1) Couture having Vera pressed against the cage
(2) Couture falling down in pain
I think that sums up the whole fight. Haha. If one were to see those two pictures one could pretty much say he saw the fight. lol.
I gotta say, as lackluster as Rampage/Rashad may have (arguably) been, it wasn’t a snoozer like Couture/Vera.
You could also picture Rashad eating canvas
And damn near being TKO’d in the 3rd rd to even that one up..

Even though I disagree with your comparison to the Couture fight, I can see sense in seeing it that way. It shows that in there is a flaw in the points system as well as the time constraints. Of course, there is no other practicable alternative currently, but it doesn’t mean one can’t realize that it’s a fallible system. But that is common in many sports. And sport is what it is. In a fight like this, it’s better to call it a “sport” than a “fight.”

It was supposedly hacked
His twitter currently says:
Attn: rashad’s twitter was hacked today. We have since updated the password and home that the tweets have not affected ne1 negatively!
f*ck thats crazy...
Now you gotta wonder if that’s damage control, or if it was actually hacked! Good find man, to both the original msg and the damage control, I’m intrigued to heat from Rashad although I won’t know if he’s lying. I mean to be fair, after all that sh*t talking, not ONCE did they push each other or lay a finger on each other besides the fight, AND right after the fight? Not one bad thing said about either of them from either of them? Kinda fishy. It was defs 90% hyping a fight. Kinda upset me. I’m all for being classy, but after all that BS for what? 5yrs it felt like… Talk some sh*t.. Annoyed me a bit.

seriously? sometimes you have me convinced that you’re like 13. of course that trash talk was all a bunch of BS. it always is. Only dumbass Paul Daley doesn’t know that. What about the fight other than some obviously fake twitter message would lead you to believe it was a “fake” fight? did you really think Rashad would fight any differently?
of course that trash talk was all a bunch of BS. it always is.
It very well may be, but it’s not obvious and not proven. As I said before, I think they play it up and embellish their words, but I don’t think it’s always necessarily fake. It’s exaggerated.
I keep saying it—BJ/Sherk wasn’t fake. BJ really got under Sherk’s skin. Sherk knew he was hyping up the fight, BJ apologized about it afterward, but he still said harsh things and he still irked Sherk.
"And where is the Batman? HE'S AT HOME, WASHING HIS TIGHTS!"
I mean, why wouldn’t it irritate him? BJ was disparaging Sherk’s name, calling him a steroid abuser. I don’t think Sherk would have given the green light to ruin his reputation.
"And where is the Batman? HE'S AT HOME, WASHING HIS TIGHTS!"
Sherk is a steroid abuser. he ruined his own reputation, and he gave BJ the green light to call him out by getting busted
That's missing the point
We weren’t talking about Sherk’s innocence, we were talking about whether animosity is fake or not.

Lucky shot..thats all..lol nah but he desserves some credit. Its not like hes going to be a force in the heavyweights..he just whent for it (which was something he didnt do during the whole fight and waited for the last few min.)

I AM
Dissapointed that Dufee couldnt finish.. but he is a very good fighter I like his maturity in his striking. This is one of those fights that doesnt say much about Russow… So dont get hyped… He got the shit beat out of him for the whole fight… Russow has no technical striking skills or wrestling period… He did nothing good but land a nice shot and that wont be enough against any other fighter.. Dufee will be a great fighter when its time…. I COMPARE THIS WIN TO THE GSP VS SERRA FIGHT. EXCEPT DUFFE WAS DOMINATING THEN LOST. DONT GET HYPED RUSOW FANS HE SUCKS

Don't buy into the Duffee fight either
He gassed after the first round and relied on the same combinations then got KOd by the only decent punch Russow threw all night. He showed that he’s chinny and has no cardio, not a good combination at all. He clearly was overhyped and I don’t see him doing much at HW.
Russow isn’t anything special but he does have heart, a good chin and is a decent wrestler so he can be a game opponent to test the lower level guys.

You have
to remember that Dufee is very young. He looks very athletic and he is very very composed with his boxing. I disagree Dufee can be a very good HW… Id like to see his wrestling though. WE really dont know how his wrestling is maybe its the best part you never know. And just because he couldnt KO Russow doesnt mean he cant KO any other HW. Rampage Can Ko just about anyone but did he KO NO chin Jardine?

Awesome surprising KO
I was really surprised with this KO. Duffee was clearly dominating the fight, but then Russow just up and turned everything around with one punch! Great stuff.
Dufee needs to train more than just punches to the head
I don’t remember seeing a body punch but I did see ONE leg kick
Maybe that will teach Dufee to finish guys
He put a beating on Russow in the first round and had him hurt a couple of times, then dialed back a ton in rounds 2 & 3. If Dufee would have pounded him in the 2nd round like he did in the 1st, then there probably wouldn’t have even been a 3rd round! People in the arena starting booing Dufee in the 2nd b/c he kept backing off and wouldn’t follow up his combinations. Russow is a fatty that landed a lucky punch, nothing more. But after the way Dufee acted after the 1st round, he deserved to lose.
