Je a dit…

C'est en visionnant le combat de 2001 entre le Canadien Carlos Newton (jiu-jitsuka) et l'Etatsunien Matt Hughes (lutteur) que j'ai redécouvert cette fin incroyable où Newton prend Hughes en triangle, ce dernier le soulève contre la grille et, au moment où il va perdre connaissance, il percute Newton contre le sol. Newton est KO mais Hughes ne sait plus où il est. L'arbitre les sépare puis Hughes va mettre de longues secondes avant de réaliser qu'il est déclaré vainqueur. Inoubliable (pour les amateurs de sport de combat, bien entendu) !

Du coup, j'en profite pour présenter l'historique de la catégorie des 77kg.

UFC 34 Free Fight: Matt Hughes vs Carlos Newton (2001)

In the most amazingly controversial title change in UFC history, Matt Hughes and Carlos Newton put each other to sleep in this welterweight title fight.
