Although there were some interesting matches here, I can't give this one any better than a "3" rating simply because of how tainted the win was. You had a completely fresh alternate (Steve Jennum) who came out of nowhere to fight a guy who was already exhausted because of two previous matches. Although Jennum's opponent gave it a great try, he was too physically exhausted and lost to someone who hadn't even been inside the octagon yet. I'm not sure when the ringside broadcasting gets any better but here, it still sucked like a Hoover with Jim Brown still stuttering around and drunkenly trying to put two sentences together. Although he held his own, the idea of putting a 180-lb. Keith Hackney in the ring against an almost 700-lb giant seems ludicrous by today's standards…and frankly, just being the size of a 747 shouldn't qualify you to step into the ring as an "ultimate fighter". This guy (Emanuel Yarbrough) was nothing but a big tub of lard who simply couldn't move. He relied on nothing but sheer mass and when that was taken away, he proved to be nothing but a fat turtle on its back. Lots of crybabies and quitters on this card.
