You read all about it yesterday, now watch the video of best-selling author Matt Polly’s first/last MMA bout. It isn’t the most technically pretty fight you’ll ever see, though the Tuff-N-Uff announcers compare Polly to Fedor Emelianenko and Neo from the Matrix before finally concluding that he’s "one of the fastest fighters" they’ve ever seen in that promotion. Whitest, maybe. But fastest? Still, Polly used his range and killer jab to pick his young opponent apart over two rounds until he quit on his stool, and damned if it doesn’t make us proud to see a fellow nerd kicking a little ass.
Now go write that book, Polly. Cage Potato readers want to hear more about the IFL incident. Don’t let them down.

Is that what it would look like if the Bens fight?

Wow... that was ugly. I was like watching 2 retarded nerds fighting over a capri-sun.

Honestly, that wasn't even amatuer level fighting...let alone cornered by Extreme Couture and forcing people to watch it. On the other hand, props for fighting...but i'm sure there were other "worthy" dudes...or chicks, chomping at the bit to fight at a venue like that.

Sexton wasn't just telegraphing his punches, he was smoke-signaling them...

Matt Polly vs Anderson Silva anyone? MAKE IT HAPPEN DW!

Easily the best commentating I have ever heard in MMA.

That was embarrassing.. props though.. Why are there so many horrible commentators in MMA? Gah, it makes me sick..

they trained for this fight?
Tue, 08/25/09 - 08:50
Did they ban any sort of muscle tone or definition for this fight?
Tue, 08/25/09 - 09:03
I'm sorry.....there was a fight?
Tue, 08/25/09 - 09:06
"Hours, minutes, and days of training." Respect to anyone willing to get in a ring and fight in front of a crowd though, highlight's at 3:34
Tue, 08/25/09 - 09:25
i cant believe i watched that

That was terrible but MuyTye is right. Anyone who gets in the ring/cage and fights deserves respect. That's more than most of us keyboard warriors on this site will ever do.

If you listen very carefully between the first and second rounds you can hear Randy Couture saying "I gave up a guest spot on Bully Beatdown for this?"

Is Matt Polly gonna have to choke a bitch?
Wed, 08/26/09 - 04:45
For all the dickheads dissin this fight, even though it wasnt the best display of MMA they got big balls to get in there so go fuck yourselves bitches!

Why do I have the feeling that Tim Sylvia took 'roids hoping to look like Matt Polly? "American Shaolin", by the way, is an awesome book, and Polly deserves credit for doing what 99% of us wouldn't. WAR POLLY!!!!!

Jon Hess has never looked better.

Nice, he won it with a blow to the back of the head. At least Polly was sporting a nice muffin-top.
Wed, 08/26/09 - 09:52
That was the giggliest muffin top I've ever seen on Polly! Props for fighting tho.
