Affliction Unaired: Jay Hieron vs Jason High
Originally scheduled for the undercard of Affliction’s Day of Reckoning show last Saturday, the welterweight bout between IFL/UFC vet Jay Hieron and 6-0 prospect Jason High had to be postponed to the very end of the lineup due to time constraints — as in, directly after Fedor vs. Andrei, when 80% of the audience was out the door, the pay-per-view broadcast had cut out, and nearly everybody with a videocamera had already moved over to the post-event press conference.
Fortunately, Inside MMA was able to show the fight on their Friday episode. And it looks like Emelianenko’s mid-air knockout of Arlovski wasn’t the only KO from Day of Reckoning that you’ll eventually be seeing on “Best of 2009″ lists.
Thanks for the vid! I love how he tries (but misses mostly) to hit him 4-5 more times while he’s out on his ass.
Yeah, they were some mean looking uppercut attempts – gotta love the keep killing till the ref pulls you off mentality!
Funny sitting in the corner type knockout…
