Has anyone seen this fight yet ?

I thought both fighters seemed to have a strategy and Roger did win pretty convincingly, he definitely appeared to be in his comfort zone.

An impressive first MMA victory ?

I saw the fight, and I thought both of them sucked pretty hard. Waterman was just so bad at ground and pound and he coudln't defend the subs for shit. And Roger would have gotten pounded so badly vs anyone with an ounce of experience in g&p, after the takedown, waterman could have landed a few good punches, and he could have knocked out roger if he tried well enough in the guard. He kept basing up and not punching giving roger a chance to heal up and go for his attacks again.

I liked the armbar though, he makes it look really easy, damn his long legs!
