Nong-O, He may not have been at home with knees but he was still smashing Cope until he got cut. Cope was a few seconds from losing the fight but Mike got cut and that's that. That's why it's a tough one to swallow, in Mike's words he was lining Cope up for the finish at the exact time he felt the cut hanging open. As we said, that's how it goes sometimes. But you're right, he is not comfortable in the grapple, it was his very first time with knees and I personally didn't expect him to be comfortable at first. The key was for him to do the damage outside the grapple where nobody can really stand up to him. To be honest, there's a little more to the story but it's not worth going into, one thing for certain is he will rebound quickly. To answer your question, sure he wants to fight with knees, kickboxing rules he is nearly unbeatable, with his lack of height, knees are at automatic disadvantage, but he loves to fight and is a natural learner and will learn how to negate some of these things. As for the Pro boxing, yeah he will make his move into that soon...actually I believe out of all styles, he is MOST suited to boxing.
Lollo, Alex fought some young guy, I honestly can't remember his name. He won it on points.
Mark, what's strange about taking a knee? The blood was pissing out and getting in his eye, what is strange about that?

Well done to all the guys overall as well.
