Kim-Solo vs Vader

Jan 20, 2002 | Rules:
Vader WINNER via Tap Out

[[ RINGSIDE BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT ]]

JIM ROSS: “He tapped! Kim-Solo has tapped out! Big Van Vader has retained the UFC Heavyweight Championship in one of the most grueling, violent, bloody spectacles I have ever witnessed in my entire career!”

JOE ROGAN: “JR, that was an absolute war! The North Koreans can never complain about an early stoppage ever again! They protested last year, they said Kim-Solo got robbed, but tonight, they were practically begging the referee to stop the fight in the second round! This referee let them go, and Vader proved the size discrepancy is real. If you put a two-hundred and fifteen-pound guy in a locked cage with a four-hundred and fifty-pound monster who actually knows how to grapple and strike on the ground? It is a massacre, man! Look at Kim-Solo’s face, he is completely unrecognizable!”

JERRY LAWLER: “I can’t believe Vader won it with a submission, JR! A rear-naked choke from a four-hundred and fifty-pound man! That’s like having a silverback gorilla wrap its arms around your throat!”

JIM ROSS: “Backstage, the Gracie Coalition is watching this footage intensely. They wanted a wrestler, and Big Van Vader just put on a wrestling clinic of the most brutal order!”
