I just got back from watching UFC 72: Victory at my buddy's place. Eh.Scott “Hands of Steel” and Ed “Short Fuse” Herman kicked of the broadcast. Smith came out to Ozzy, Herman to Phil Collins. This is when I decided that today would be the first time I’d be rooting for Herman.
Within seconds of the opening bell, Herman took Smith down and bullied the California fighter with a variety pack of ground strikes, the most notable of which was a pair of devastating elbows. Even still, Smith fought back and weathered a very heavy storm. After the first round, and enthused Joe Rogan shouted over the dynamic crowd, “Have you ever seen a boring Scott Smith fight?!?” I guess Joe wasn’t there for Smith-Cote at UFC 67.
In the second round, Herman picked up where he left off, continuing to punish a bloodied Smith At 2:25, Herman sunk in a rear naked choke on Smith, who tapped almost immediately.
Hat’s off to Ed Herman. He dominated Smith in every facet of the fight and once again showed off a slick submission game.
