Rick Rypien vs Brandon Prust

I'm giving this fight to Rypien.

Did Prust not learn his lesson last year? Win Rypien

Prust had some good hits, but I think Rypien had him from the get go. Looked like Prust missed with his first haymaker he tried and Rypien unloaded on him for the mistake. Good fight all around though, but gotta give it to Rypien.

Great bout, good win for Ryp. Extra points for Prust for second fight in the game.

Ryp picks someone his own size and gets the edge simply cuz of more punches landed.........some early ones at the start then some haymakers in the middle.......Prust is definetly a tough customer though

Rypien with the decision

Prust tied down at the front this time so Rypien didn't jeresy him with the helmet stuck at his face. These guys are the toughest in the league for their size. They will see each other a few more times this year and they'll be close scraps.

Rypien owned him

pretty close in my eyes

Rick Rypien is climbing up the middleweight ladder.

Of course everyone loves Rypien, he's the best fighter out there!

DID YOU SEE THAT? PRUST HOLDS RYPIENS NOSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND! TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM BREATHING

Rypien lands a ton and gets the win but unlike Dion Phaneuf, Prust takes action after his hits.

Rypien is a modern day Wendel Clark. Rypien FTW.

Good fight for both. I gave the W to Rypien - but if they go again it could go either way.
