By: Selina "Dead" Wong Posted On: November 21, 2008 at 10:56pm“Diesel” Joe Riggs (29-11) TKO’d Luke Stewart (5-2) in round two at Strikeforce: Destruction Friday night in San Jose.
The fight started with a clinch, but Stewart was the one who managed to trip Riggs. He was unable to do anything from the mat, however, and Riggs stood. Riggs came at Stewart with a quick flurry of fists. Stewart attempted another takedown, and after battling a few moments was able to mount. After a short stint in side mount, the round ended with Stewart on top.
Stewart kicked Riggs in the ribs to begin round two. This time, Riggs tripped Stewart. From Stewart’s guard, he put fists in Stewarts’s face while protecting his own. The punches gained power, and the crowd groaned as they felt Stewart’s pain until returning referee, “Big” John McCarthy, called the fight at 2:05 of round two.
