Ireland is one tough SOB

takes a mass amount of abuse, and wont go away.

was about to make this same thread

his arm is f'd. he couldnt even clap with it.

He's a really solid fighter. I am very proud of him.

he won the 1st round and  for sure put up a good fight vs hansen- who is very badass

He didn't win the first round, but he put up a better fight than anyone expected. Tough dude.

Jason is a class act - I hope he gets to fight in the big show again.

Great fight. Of course he's tough, he's from Michigan!!

I was seriously hoping the ref (I think it was Steve M) would just stop the fight when it was clear Ireland was going to let his arm get f'ed up before he'd tap.

Joakim could easily have broken his arm, you could see him say to the referee "stop the fight i am going to break it"

Joakim is a wold class fighter and a class act sports person

"Does anyone know him personally? I'm just curious if the lights on in there."

The dude interviewing him before the fights said Jay was "well spoken and intellectual sounding." It may have been sarcasm.

Hansen is a good guy.
