UFC 135 - Live Update 3

I left this fight off of my previous post by mistake. My bad!
Sorry guys...you know I love the Heavyweights!
UFC® 135 Live on Pay Per View
"Big" Ben Rothwell (263 lbs) vs
Mark "Super Samoan" Hunt (261 lbs)

Rothwell takes the shorter Hunt down and transitions quickly to full mount early in the first. Hunt gets an under hook and works back up to his feet. Hunt defends a single leg then winds up having side control. Rothwell's eye meets Hunt's elbow....nasty! Down..up...down...up.

Hunt gets the 1st take down of round 2 and stays in full mount for awhile. Hunt lays on Rothwell punching that bloody eye until he goes for an unsuccessful arm bar in the final seconds.

Rothwell was soooooo exhausted that he collapsed but still continued into the 3rd round. The chicken-legged Rothwell manged to absorb a few more shots and sprawl. Hunt wasn't much better. Up...down...up...down. Rogan calls "Big" Ben a walking zombie. The two spent heavyweights moved clumsily around the octagon until the end.

Mark Hunt finally wins after 3 grueling rounds via unanimous decision. 
Thank god!  I thought somebody was gonna have a heart attack!

Fun Fact: 
Before this fight Rothwell had won 15 of his last 17 fights
Another Fun Fact:
Hunt had a 30 hour flight from Australia, can you say "Jet Lag"?
