Ok. They've moved up the Chris Horodecki/Nate Lamotte match. It's about to begin. Former, even though he was never beaten for it, UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture is in Horodecki's corner.
Pretty even first round. They traded strikes the whole time. Horodecki is working some nice combos, he's definitely been stressing his kickboxing. I'll be posting after each fight now...my head is buried in this laptop, I'm missing some good fights. This way I can better write about the bouts.
This one goes to the cards. The fight ended with Lamotte punching inside Horodecki's guard. Horodecki got the better part of the standup and wins by unanimous decision. He's nails, man. He's a tough dude, but he could easily trim down to 145 if he wanted to. He's like BJ Penn at 170, they're talented enough to fight up a weight class, but they could be unstoppable if they stayed down one.
By the way, just got word from the IFL spokesperson again, Dias is up walking and talking. They're waiting on the results of his CAT scan.
