A little tidbit about Chris Lytle

Sakara=Excitement · 06-21-2009, 10:53 AM

In Chris Lytle's 49 professional fights, he has never been stopped. In two of his losses the fight was stopped due to a cut which was against Joe Riggs and Thiago Alves. That is a hell of a statement. He's never been knocked out or submitted. Also, in his last 8 fights, he's collected 6 fight bonuses. Dude is a stud.

Yeah he is. Not very technically skilled at striking, and I could probably count on one hand how many times I've seen him throw a combo, but he's got a great chin, good power, and some heart.

Agreed and rep'd, dude is a stud.

The Koscheck fight - in which he was elbowed into next week and spent much of the fight bleeding everywhere but continued battling - is basically a representative example of the heart Chris Lytle has. I became a big fan of his after that fight, much more than previously.

Not the best fighter at 170 but the dude is a full-on warrior and will fight you until the final bell.

Exactly! Most fighters would of whilted under the pressure that Kos was putting on Lytle in that fight. That was some brutal ground and pound. Funny thing is, the second Kos lets the fight stand up with like 30 seconds left, Lytle rocks him big time twice. Also, well he might still be but for the longest time he had a full-time job as a fire fighter. Also, he's called lights out and only 4 of his 27 wins have come by KO. I just love watching him fight.

Lytle and Brown or Anthony Johnson would be a great fight. Lytle's boxing is not bad, but he only throws power shots. Its pretty impressive that he has never been KO'd yet he swings for the fences in nearly every fight. Lytle's BJJ is also very underrated.
