Ep 107. Tim Sylvia vs Rico Rodriguez UFC 41

Heavily favored UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez paid a dear price for trading punches with Tim Sylvia at UFC 41, as a series of brutal right hands knocked him down and out at 3:09 of the first round. Rodriguez, barely champion for six months, did have a brief window of opportunity when he almost landed an armbar on 'The Maine-iac', but that window slammed shut when Sylvia was able to escape and then drop bombs on his foe. This bout is considered to be one of the top 150 fights in the history of UFC mixed martial arts events. Started in 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brand is a professional mixed martial arts organization offering the premier series of MMA sports events.
