"The Killa Gorilla" Jared Cannonier Knocks Out Robocop After A Tremendous Comeback

Jared Cannonier just proved why he's been towards the top of the middleweight division for so long, and pulled off one hell of a comeback against "Robocop" Gregory Rodrigues. I mean - that was freaking awesome. He smelled blood in the water and pounced.

Cannonier took some crazy heavy shots (and even got dropped twice) in the first round, but weathered the Robocop storm and came out for Round 2 clearly more energized than Rodrigues. From there, Robocop's gas tank drained pretty quickly, allowing for the "Killa Gorilla" to take over more and more - culminating in this massive elbow at the end of the third round....

....and then an almost instant finish at the start of the fourth....

It was so awesome to see killer instinct like that after Rodrigues got saved by the bell. Cannonier was relentless and didn't let up for a second there - he got right to business and ended it. As someone who (responsibly) had Cannonier +195 and Cannonier/Zalal/Shahbazyan +310 on the DraftKings Sportsbook, I was absolutely thrilled. Shoutout to Cannonier and the experience of that UFC vet - it's red panty night!

P.S. You can't show up lookin like Obama with blazer cleavage only to gas out in the second round….
