Jay Hieron vs Joe Riggs

This fight is only up until Sunday (February 6th) so I suggest you catch it while you can.

It’s really the 3rd round that is the most dramatic.  There is an excellent camera angle at the end of the third where Riggs is just leaking blood onto his own pectorals, trying desperately for a Kimura.  There is a sense of urgency on his face that is indescribable.  Go watch it.

by Dave Mandel (via Sherdog) So not only is this cat relegated to several dark matches after being promised a title shot, it seems that he’s gonna get passed over for Diaz’s belt AGAIN by Mach Sakurai.  Cold business.  Cold-ass business. PS - Did anyone catch the Hieron-Riggs fight on the EA-MMA website?
