UFC heavyweight Todd Duffee hasn’t competed inside the Octagon in 22 months, but he wants to change that soon.
Check out what Duffee wrote on the mixedmartialarts.com message boards, better known as “The Underground.”
”I am ready to GO! Any suggestions the UG has on who they would like me to see me fight next.”
The 28-year-old hulking knockout specialist has been on the sidelines for an extended period of time after being diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner Syndrome – a rare disease that cause debilitating arm and/or shoulder pain.
Duffee, 28 with an 8-2 overall record as a professional mixed martial artist, won both of his fights in 2012: scoring quick TKOs over Neil Grove and Philip De Fries.
The American Kickboxing Academy product made his presence felt in his debut at UFC 102 in August 2009, needing a mere seven seconds to knockout Tim Hague.
He is tied with Chan-Sung Jung and Ryan Jimmo for the fastest KO in UFC history.
Duffee again made headlines after his fight with Mike Russow at UFC 114 in May 2010 – this time for a much different reason.
After brutalizing his older, flabbier opponent for 12-and-a-half minutes, Russow scored a stunning one-punch KO out of nowhere.
The matchup is generally regarded as one of the best comebacks in UFC history.
Given the current landscape of the UFC heavyweight roster, what fight makes the most sense for Duffee’s return?
