Just doing my picks for the ufc 102 card and came across Todd Duffee who is fighting Tim Hague

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=fighter.detail&pid=1104

This guy is huge! 260lbs and pure muscle, says he's athletic too, anyone know much about this guy? He's 5-0 and only 23 years old?!

seems like all of his fights have ended in the first or second round by KO or TKO.

And he's the guy that was pulled from the UFC 99 card so that Crop Cop could beat up Al-Turk instead.

He certainly is a big boy, fights out ATT and he's 6'3" too, I'm looking forward to seeing him fight.

Wonder what his Cardio is like though, having never gone the distance

He looks in great shape - this is exactly what the UFC needs, top ripped 260lbers!

Let's not get too excited, I've not even seen him fight yet!

(Tongue in cheek....kinda)

Okay looks like we have Carwin and Duffee in contention for the title!

This is the guy "KO cop" was to fight before being scratched from the card for Al-Turk???? Reeeeally?

And then "The Asleep One" went on to bad mouth Brock as bad for the sport for being so big that "true martial art skill" wasn't a factor in Brock's fights, this after Ko-cop put on a pre-spinach popeye performance in against Overreem's "Bluto"

Sorry, I turned Duffee's intrigue thread into somewhat of a KO-cop bashing thread but we haven't seen enough of Duffee to really talk about him yet.

This forum by now, ought to have 7 threads about whether Duffee is a true contender or whether the 1st round KO cop KO was a fluke in which dreamers and sometimes pre mature conclusion-jumpers like myself are joined by like minded people to to combat the legend apologist who claim KO-cop's staph infection and eye pokes cost him the fight, not Duffee's size and how if it had been Couture v. Duffee the outcome would have been different.

DUFFEE IS ALREADY A TITLE CONTENDER. He may lose that status if he shows a glass jaw in his first fight (for the record I find it more likely scientist will photograph a long-thought extinct dinosaur with my remains in it's stool in my land. And I will be the first to tell you from the hypothetcal grave that things would have been different if its teeth had beed duller, size had been smaller, and killer intstinct had been duller. The Duffeeasaururs changed the land scape of stalking and eating people. What happened to the good ole days when a predator had to sneak up on its prey?

So with Duffee in the title hunt, what's next for him after the UFC 102 first round KO? How long till he fights Carwin for the #1 contender spot? Before or after Duffee has his first UFC fight? Before or after Lesnar destroys Carwin ih their first bout? How much longer will KO-cop remain the MW version or Martin Kampmann of the HW?

How much longer do I have to willfully ignore the fact that a man is 260lbs of muscle when IDing Brock's next interesting title defenses. I can understand if folks request I hold off until at least his first win in the octagon. Don't agree whatsoever but no, I don't have a logical defense so I will keep a fake open mind until Duffee beats at least 2 more skilled HWs.

After all, at 5-0 this guy is plainly unproven (if you ignore 6'3" 260lbs of pute muscle)

Where is the end bracket? C++ fail.

Sorry I understand but Cro-cop has lost favor with me because I don't like seeing people duck fights and I wasn't impressed with the overrheem performance.

I understand though that the book "how to win friends and influence people" would prolly advise against shitting on a legend of the sport like that.

So yeah I was too harsh, my apology to Cro-cop fans.

I never got over the fact that when Couture beat Sylvia Cro cop was interviewed about the fight and simply hadn't watched it yet....a week later. Not really an excuse I know.

Im thinking your right, I think people are fogetting that Duffee is gonna be the little guy in this fight and judging by his appearance that isn't something he is gonna be familiar with.
 
#32 ·
Anyway does anyone have any intel on this guy? Is he a former collegiate wrestler? Does he has explosive speed...or is he just a big ole ripped Brad Imes?

The big guy intrigue me, probably because I'm 5 foot 7 and 170 lbs. I see BJ Penn and Im like wow that is one of the most skilled amazing fighters of all time. I looke at Lesnar/Carwin and I'm like wow, that's a f*cking monster!. MMA aside, seeing a monster really raises the ole brows for me. I'm sure it doesn't for most lol

Heres a couple of Duffee's fights, his striking looks pretty sloppy and he has zero head movement, if he stands with any top UFC heavyweight he will get caught fighting like that.

His Jiu-jitsu and wrestling looks pretty poor to, he gets taken down easy and Silva almost gets him in a triangle, any decent grappler would tap him very quickly.

Seems like a case of strength over skill, doesn't look like he has any real base skill set to work with.
