Harris also flung his own neck at Gaudinot as if he wanted to be guillotined so I think Nelson actually working for it is more impressive. Also, choking old man Diabate isn't that impressive and never has been.

FOTY: Yui Chul Nam vs Kazuki Tokudome from Fight Night Macao. That was absolutely insane. The ref nearly stopped it twice within the first 90 seconds (once at about 10 seconds in!) and then there was another knockdown by the end of the round. The first round was realistically a 10-7, the second a 10-8 and the 3rd was pretty drat close with both guys getting staggered by strikes. Of course one of the judges called it a 29-28, just adding to the fun. If you have Fight Pass but haven't watched the prelims from last week's show, watch this fight.
