Mike Russow took a tremendous beating from Todd Duffee before his comeback
In terms of visuals alone, the fight between Mike Russow and Todd Duffee was a mismatch. Both men weighed the same – 253lbs – but Duffee was 253lbs of solid muscle, looking like he’d been carved from granite, while Russow was a flabby guy who looked like he may have trained twice a week. And in the first two rounds, the visual mismatch looked like a reality.

Duffee simply threw everything he had at Russow and beat him from pillar to post. How Russow was still standing after such an onslaught was anyone’s guess – but it only looked like a matter of time before Duffee finished him off, and even if he couldn’t, he would surely take a lopsided decision given Russow had barely done a thing.

By the third round though, Duffee began to slow down – there’s only so many times you can hit a guy I guess – and somehow Russow caught him cleanly with a right hand, sending him to the ground, and a strange soft hammer fist sealed the deal. It was the UFC’s equivalent of Homer Simpson’s famous boxing matches – a truly classic and hilarious comeback, unfortunately for Duffee.
