One thing that is very clear about a NHB bout is that a fighter with an extraordinary physique does not necessarily translate to success on the mat. How one wields their size and power is much more important than just having a body that is pleasing to look at. When Travis and Drew Harper meet in their most recent bout the pair possess impressive bodies, however, what transpires between the two is one of the most dominating performances in NHB history.
Barely 5 minutes in and already one combatant holds a commanding 4-0 lead. The Greco-Roman skills (or lack thereof) are on vivid display as one of the pair continues to rack up pin fall after pin fall over his obviously outmatched opponent. Tapping out again and again from head scissors, bearhugs and headlocks….one fighter is left wondering what the heck is happening.
I have purposely not mentioned which fighter puts on the historic display as both of the combatants have the perceived ability to pull off the truly dominating performance, and also so that you will be able to truly enjoy the surprise that comes from this most unique among NHB bouts!
