I know, But Ron Waterman is an old washed up fighter and the fight was a disaster. looked like crap. Ricco is training with Tito Ortiz but still sucks, you probably havent seen the last Waterman fight but they both gassed from walking across the cage to face eachother. Ricco didnt stop him in any way either, he was to gassed to come out for the second round so it was ruled a tko while Ricco was finishing his round time snicker
