Marlon SandroOn Sunday in Japan, Marlon Sandro needed just 38 seconds to knock out Masanori Kanehara at Sengoku 13. On Sunday in Canada, Josh Grispi needed just 2:33 to choke out LC Davis at WEC 49.

If you love MMA and want to see the best fighters in big fights, it’s disappointing that Sandro and Grispi got so little attention for what they accomplished on Sunday. Sandro’s fight wasn’t televised at all on North American television (it will air on tape delay Friday night on HDNet), while Grispi’s fight was the No. 3 bout on a fight card that got weak ratings on Versus. There are still a whole lot of people who follow MMA but don’t know who Sandro and Grispi are.
