Goran Reljic looked pretty badass in his UFC debut at UFC 84, knocking Wilson Gouveia down a weight class and winning fight of the night honors. But that's nothing compared to this badass story sent to me by Robert from Free Fight Videos:
UFC fighter Goran Reljic risks own life to rescues two men
A crash that almost killed two young men on the 15th of October at round 3am could have had disastrous consequences when the two young men, both from Privlaka, spun and crashed into the sea.
Thankfully both men survived, due to the brave actions of Goran Reljica, the Croatian ultimate fighter, who resides in the immediate vicinity of the town in question.
When he heard the crash, Goran jumped out of bed, still in his underwear and jumped into the sea.
He swam to the car, proceeded to brake the windshield of the vehicle and pull both men to land. Several eyes witness accounts confirm the story and so does Goran himself who doesn't want any praise or recognition for the good deed.
"The only satisfaction I get is that both young men are alive and healthy, I don't need any praise, I simply did what anyone one would have done in that situation" said Reljic.
You know it's a bad accident when your car ends up in the fucking sea. The only thing worse is somehow ending up in the ocean. Fortunately, if that happens, you apparently have a 22% chance that Goran Reljic will bust through your windshield to pull you out.
Original story here ... again thanks to Robert at Free Fight Videos for the translation.
Why are you posting about this instead of Dana firing people left and right because they fucked up their agreement with THQ? Does it contrast too much with your ridiculous fedor article?
Relax gents. This isn't a straight news site. The fightlinker way seems to be sit back and reflect for a bit before jumping in. I don't think that is a bad thing. Let the details emerge and then make a judgment.
Example: when Tanner died, he didn't post right away. He took his time and then gave us "tannerlinker". Be patient. This is a complicated situation. I'd rather hear an intelligent, measured response than a bunch of clucking. This doesn't mean that there needs to be complete silence. The Goran story is a "holy shit look at this!" kind of thing that can be quickly posted. The Fitch thing? Not so much. Let in marinate.
why this news? heh
i felt Ryan will post about this news for some reasons when i read it on MMAmania first. [Link]
its crazy and cool story fightlinker usually likes. Jumped in to the sea in the midnight to rescue someone. Unreal! but seems its true. Super cool and kinda heroic.
BUT
still funny as shit. do u want to swim in the sea in the Midnight of Oct? in underweare? LMAO this guy is crazy. Cold water of the sea could make u heartattack, its dangerous to swim in the dsarkness around sinking car !
Goran must not have thought well about his risk nor effect after this, didnt think well but saw someone was in a big trouble, so just jumped in to the sea. if there were lifrguard with him, that lifeguard would have stopped him saying "no no, u r a pro-MMA fighter, but not a lifeguard, its too dangerous for u"
Truth is my sleep cycle has been fucked for the past week and I've been waking up at 11am. So when you're complaining about me being a lazy asshole ... it's because I am :-(
