The thing that pissed me off the most about this fight is that in the 2nd round, i believe, Maximo is hanging on the cage like a swinging chimpanzee!!! And The Ref, Wolf Menninger is oblivious!!!! hanging out clippin his fuckin finger nails and looking directly at the fight, but still missed it! While, Blanko, avoided a take down because of hanging on the cage, he still had the better of the exchange in at least 2 out of 3.
Iuri Alcantara looking to make a big statment by Ko'ing Vaughn Lee, Lee, coming off an impressive win over Nam Phan, Vaughn was looking to be coming into his own before falling to Alcantara.
Iuri Looking great as usual!
Nick Hein vs Drew Dober, in a, Judo Champ vs Muay Thai Champ, style match up!!!
Nick Hein with a sweet left hand, landed almost at will all night, Dober with good ground game and a very hard striker on the feet as well!! But Hein was able to outstrike Dober for the most of the fight, though it was a great fight, im excited to see what is next for both of these new guys!! Both have great chins, and look to be learning all the right things at young ages!
Sean Strickland vs Luke Barnatt
Sean slow methodical style was cool to watch until it turned into "Run Sean, Run!!"
Eventhough i say that, trying to be funny, Sean landed some great strikes, and was able to get the victory over Barnatt.
Barnatt did a great job, although he was a straight, move forward, not much to it, kind of performance. i thought he did enough to take the win.
Maybe, a draw here shouldve been best!!
Idiotic judges! as Usual!
C.B. Dollaway vs Francis Carmont
In the 1st both had great single strikes and a little bit of scuffling here and there, but the 2nd round was a wrestling battle! Good transitioning on both sides, while it started to look like CB was gassing and Carmont had labored breathing as well
In the 3rd, after a short stint of Strikes CB gets the TD and loafs the best he can while avoiding his newly found power striking, climbing back into his old wrestling game with no G&P! He barely threw any strikes on the ground in the 3rd. And for good reason, he was exhausted!! At this point, CB and Carmont were both dead on their feet(maybe not that bad). Much credit to both, it was a sweet war.
Gegard Mousasi vs Mark Munoz
Coming into this, i first thought, "Im going to be so pissed if this is one of those fights like the Keith Jardine fight, Where Gegard just seemed to never get started......."
In the 1st and only round. Mark looked to be confident and after some strikes landed for both sides.....scuffling and positioning on the ground, Gegard just seem to have his way with Mark, Mark being known for his wrestling, and Gegard claiming his needs work, says a lot!!
Gegard controlled, rolled and outwrestled Mark for the short time, and to put icing on the elbow, a rear naked choke, done!!
Gegard Mousasi trained accordingly, upped his game, planned to make a statement here tonight, and did just that!!
