Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News , UFC So there I was on Sunday afternoon, laptop open, UFC Fight Pass fired up to watch two heavyweights, Shamil Abdurakhimov and Anthony Hamilton , as they did their thing on the UFC Fight Night 83 prelims, and it hits me: This is roughly a thousand times better than the other heavyweight fight I watched this same weekend, the one I’m still thinking about, the one that captured our imaginations then tortured them, slowly, with the brutal sluggishness of reality. You know the one. It’s the one where both participants had two sets of names and not one shred of cardio. Yeah, that one . But as soon as I made this mental comparison of Kevin “ Kimbo Slice ” Ferguson’s win over Dhafir “ Dada 5000 ” Harris at Bellator 149 to Abdurakhimov’s unanimous-decision victory over Hamilton, I realized the futility of it. Yes, one fight was exponentially better than the other, and in pretty much every athletic and technical sense
