Ballet of Violence

by Dave Mandel (via Sherdog)

I am pleased audiences new to Manhoef were sold on his performance despite his loss.  He was absolutely brutalizing Lawler’s leg (and the rest of him) until Lawler put the stamp on him.

This has to be one of the most brutal knockouts I have ever seen.  Manhoef’s eyes rolled into his head and there was blood from his face staining the whites of his right eye.  He laid stiff for what seemed like minutes until he jumped upright.  He woke up startled, still fighting, amped on adrenaline, as if he hadn’t spent the last few minutes unconscious.
