mike russow
Mike Russow is a big and mean UFC fighter who has a very large bone structure and a very heavy weight. The fighter is basically a wrestler and is known mainly for his wrestling moves and impressive arm and leg locks. Although Russow throws some punches occasionally in some fights but his punches are mainly slow and not very well placed. Thus he doesn’t stand a very good chance with his punches against a young and fast striker. Still he is a very technical fighter and relies more on the technique of takedowns and struggling locks, rather than aggression in punches and kicks.
The latest fight of Russow with Duffee gained an enormous amount of hype and portrayed Duffee as a much stronger fighter than Russow. That’s why many experts and analysts of the UFC had already predicted a sure win for Duffee.I was all set to write about Todd Duffee dominating Mike Russow for three rounds. And then…wow.
Duffee did dominate 99% of the fight. It’s too bad that 1% was killer.
Russow landed a right hand that sent Duffee to the mat. And Duffee was out. Cold. Joe Rogan was very excited.
Result aside, Duffee looked very good up until the end. He nullified Russow anytime Russow looked to get close to clinch or shoot. He landed all jabs, hook, and upper cuts at will. For nearly three rounds, he picked apart a very game heavyweight.
It was all for naught though. Mike Russow gets the “W” on his ledger, and Duffee goes back to the drawing board.
