TUF 8 alum Britt destroys Lighty

[Clark Kent]

12-19-2009 10:44 PM:Antwain Britt got screwed out of a potential spot in the UFC during season eight of "The Ultimate Fighter." He didn't miss on the opportunity tonight in his first Strikeforce fight. Britt was likea bull in a china shop striking with a striker in Scott Lighty from the opening seconds of the fight. Britt blasted Lighty with a left early that floored the K-1 veteran. He never recovered. Lighty was floored three more times and blasted repeatedly on the ground as Britt dominated using hip control to rain left hands in Lighty's face. He made it through the first but could barely stand at the end of the round. Referee Josh Rosenthal ended the fight between rounds on the doctor's advise.

Britt (12-3) beat Ryan Jimmo in the first round of the light heavyweight class on TUF 8 but suffered a broken hand. Ryan Bader went on to win the 205 title that season. Even Jimmo has had a successful unbeaten run in Canada's Maximum Fighting Championship. Britt has bounced around for most of 2009 but did a great job tonight opening some eyes by mauling a pretty solid striker.
