Catalin Morosanu v. Gary Goodridge Fight Video

Here is one of the marquee matches from this past weekend's K-1 Scandinavia Rumble of the Kings show - Catalin Morosanu v. Gary Goodridge.

This was an important fight for Morosanu, as his last year has not been fantastic in-ring. A year ago, he was poised to be K-1's main Eastern European representative. But after an unnecessary DQ loss to Taiei Kin, and a bad showing against Errol Zimmerman where Morosanu looked terribly unprepared, the Romanian fighter has seen his K-1 status fade, as he's been replaced by both Daniel Ghita and Raul Catinas. This is his first big fight since that Zimmerman loss, though he did score a win in Sarajevo in October.

Goodridge is of course an MMA legend and one of the pioneers of both UFC and Pride. He once had a respectable K-1 career with wins over Mike Bernardo and Cyril Abidi, but those days are long behind him, as Goodridge has not won a pro fight, either MMA or kickboxing, in almost 4 years. He's currently on a combined 0-17-1 streak. But he's still a fighter who grabs my attention, and so, despite myself, I was looking forward to this one.

I made it to 1:21 of the video, I just feel bad for Goodridge nowadays.
