This is going to be shocking news, and tough to handle for some of our readers, so prepare yourselves. Nikita Krylov is NOT the Greatest Light Heavyweight of all Time. The #8 seeded Krylov put up a valiant effort, but fell to #1 Daniel Cormier, 42-12. Of course, if Cormier goes on to win it all, Krylov fans could make a claim for him as #2. Just saying.
Today, a battle between two Pride veterans, and two men who spent much of their career in other weight classes. It’s the #2 seed and former Pride champion Dan Henderson vs. #7 Alistair Overeem in his pre-Reem days. I understand horse meat is banned from this showdown.
