[txstr1986]

Rafael dos Anjos vs. Benson Henderson - Another close split-decision? Or does Henderson get a second finish in a row?

Jordan Mein vs. Mike Pyle - I really dig this kid.

Francis Carmont vs. Thales Leites - Carmont is an uninspiring fighter for being such a physical freak, but I doubt Leites is able to threaten him at all.

Mirsad Bektic vs. Max Holloway - should be a very entertaining fight

Alex Garcia vs. Neil Magny - Garcia is a vicious, vicious dude

Some great fights so far tonight. I would love to see Collard fight again

[thiste]

Yeah Benson was down but I believe Big John's decision was a tad quick... Where's Herb when you need him?

[polandprzem]

Where is Mazzagatti when you need him :D

He would not stop the fight that early. That's contenders bout and Benson was not out and his position was good to get out of the situation dammnit. Ohhh well.

[thiste]

Yeah I was thinking, he didn't get the Lesnar treatment. That's unfortunate, there was still a lot of fight to be had imho.

[The TroutBum]

Not an early stoppage IMO. McCarthy is the best for a reason. He saved Benson from getting knocked out cold.

How about Killa Bee and that omoplata?! I was shitting bricks when he put it on, and farting gold dust when he tapped. I LOVE it when someone wins via old school moves that really shouldn't work.

[polandprzem]

That omoplata was something! no shit man.
It's hard to submit with it but it worked out :wow:


And that was too early stoppage
