Patience paid off as boxer Schaub beat wrestler Madsen
| |||
Hawai'i's Scott Junk, a contestant on the "Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights," comments on episode 10.
(Wednesday night's) episode was showing the damage that Matt Mitrione took in my fight with him. He really was affected by the fight. All of Matt's previous fights ended in less than two minutes by way of knockout. Our fight was the only one that went the distance for him.
Even though he squeaked out the win, mentally it took a toll on him. He was in pain and complaining of headaches and nausea throughout the show.
On to the fight!
Wrestler vs. Boxer — Jon Madsen vs. Brendan Schaub.
You can only wrestle someone down so many times before your gas tank empties out! Brendan remained patient and stuck to his game plan, and that gave him the opportunity to capitalize in the second round with a straight right, right on the button!
It wasn't the most exciting fight, but the ending was. You gotta understand, even though Brendan looks skinny on TV, he is a big man walking around at 245 pounds and 6 feet 4. Lucky guy!
Jon was at a disadvantage once the wrestling was taken away. Brendan deserved the win and we'll see who he fights next.
I want to thank UDOWN for all the support they have continuously given to me throughout my fighting career and Joey Aukai of Kaneohe Therapy for his constant love and support. If you ever sustain an injury, go see Joey Aukai and his team...Aloha!
