Buchinger’s late magic, “Pirát” heartbreak
Legend Ivan Buchinger turned back the clock with a clutch Ninja choke against Richie Smullen (Buchinger vs. Smullen). Moments later came a gut-punch: Samuel Krištofič suffered a dislocated elbow versus Jaime Cordero (Cordero vs. Krištofič), ending a strong showing in cruel fashion.
Pirát Kristofič a Cordero byla štípana, pak se stane tohle. Pirát je mi líto, vypadal skvěle a tohle je sportovní tragédie, zase vyřazen na hodně dlouho. Teď Cordero vs Muradov? 🤷♂️#Oktagon #Oktagon77 #OktagonMMA pic.twitter.com/TDADEPElur
