He got overshadowed by Fedor vs. Rogers and the implications of that event, and appeared on an otherwise inconsequential card. But, realistically, this guy is going places. He's a monster.

Yes, he did happen to have a great showing on a busy week for MMA but his knockout win over a very game opponent who was on his own rampage is very surprising. Even moreso was the way he managed to finish Santiago, with a knockout off of his back! The less attentive fan wouldn't realize how he set it up but I'm sure you caught onto it after taking another watch. He throws up the triangle and when Jorge postures up Khalidov places his shin on Santiago's neck/jaw and uses it as a block/surface as he hammerfists from the bottom. Its absolutly genious. I had never heard of Mamed Khalidov before the results of this fight came out, now I'm sprawling to find and footage I can. He just beat a guy I rank highly in the MW mix and has established himself as a top 10 and possible top 5. I would really like to see the UFC attempt to pick him up when he's available, since losing Hendo both hurts the UFC's middleweight division yet frees it up for new talent with the money saved.
