How in the hell could anyone give one of those rounds to DeAnda? My god.
Gerald Harris is miserably boring. UFC will never come calling for Harris. Talk about looking the part of a fighter but not being able to play the part of a fighter.
Why does Gerald harris even fight? I have never seen a fighter who is so lackluster in the cage. All he does is hold on and stall as much as possible. He fights like he is gassed from the opening bell.
That may be it for Tyson Griffin. I just think he is too small and has the exact opposite body type for a modern MMA fighter. Its just hard to do much with a 64″ reach and stubby fatt legs. Tyson actually shorter than a lot of the 125 lb fighters and is at a huge disadvantage in his weight class
quick stoppage for sure
