Josh Neer Fights Paul Rodriguez in Iowa, MMA Video

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Josh “The Dentist” Neer who was once a popular UFC fighter, fought Paul Rodriguez (155lb match up) at the GreenSparks Fighting Championships 5 in Iowa.    Josh defeated Paul in the first round by TKO.  Josh was once very a popular up and coming UFC fighter, but feel out of the UFC after two big losses, the details from his wiki:

“Neer then went on to win 10 straight fights as well as the XKK (Xtreme Kage Kombat) Welterweight Championship. Neer then entered into the UFC and lost to Drew Fickett by submission. Neer then went 2-1 in non-UFC fighting before going back to fight in the UFC where he had wins over young and talented Melvin Guillard and Joe Stevenson, who won the Welterweight division of The Ultimate Fighter 2. Since then, Josh lost a bout to Josh Burkman at UFC 61, and was then defeated by Nick Diaz at UFC 62.” - Source Wikipedia


Hopefully he’ll make his way back into the UFC – this guy has tremendous heart!
