Procházka has an impressive, ridiculous topknot. Really pushes the envelope of social acceptability. Has anyone here ever tried this hairstyle?

Didn't one of the last emperors of the Manchu Dynasty ban this hairstyle in China in the 19th century?

Who was the sadist that booked the Jedrzejczyk fight. She was washed up a couple of years ago. That was just wrong. She's too young and good looking to be getting her head deformed.

Holy cow, that was an incredible fight! I definitely wanted my man with the ferocious hairstyle, but the old Brazilian started to win me over early on to the point where I was just nervous watching the whole thing. Age 42 is incredible for Teixeira to perform at such a level, more so than Tom Brady if we're being objective and honest. He was likely 32 seconds away from retaining by decision before tapping - both men were sloppy and vulnerable at that point and completely gassed. Procházka is an imposing figure and Teixeira took him to the limit, narrowly missing his own fifth round TKO.

If you're not into MMA much, finding this fight online would be a great starting point.

Procházka is not a very smart fighter. He was lucky to get the win against an old man.

I was going to say his love of fancy moves almost cost him the fight. He should have been able to break down Glover much easier than he did but kept on walking into wrestling holds because he went for kill shots before Glover was ready to go.

That said this fight was an instant classic fight because of these mistakes and it reminded me of early UFC fights before guys fought with a systemic style as they do now.

Hell yeah. Stuff the take downs and keep striking with your hands. Learn after the first take down that the knee is not working, and cut that stupid thing off of your head.

Good win for Jiri and The Czech Republic!

Tough way for Joanna to go out. She says she wants a family now though, so good for her!
