(2:02 mark)

Clearly rocked by opponent Abe Wager this past Friday at Titan FC 16, The Maine-iac fell forward and then watched his four-fight win streak broken as referee Jason Herzog half-heartedly jumped in then waived for the bell.

Refs need to know the fighters. Did he see my fight with Andrei Arlovski – the second one – I got dropped, got up, and KO’d him. The Randy Couture fight I got dropped and fought for twenty five minutes.”

It was stopped way too early…It was bullsh*t. The sad part is the ref told the promoter and my corner he was sorry because he knew he made a mistake and stopped it a little early.

I still love this sport and always will. I went into the fight with a bum knee and it got worse somehow during the fight so I go in for a MRI sometime this week and might need surgery. We will see.”

I will never fight at Super Heavyweight again. I fight much better at 265 so from here on out that’s what I am going to fight at. (Sylvia weighed in at 311 for the fight)
