Fabio Maldonado ends James McSweeney run in the UFC with a TKO.
Spencer Fisher defeated Kurt Warburton by Unanimous Decision.
Paul Sass tapped Mark Holst with a Triangle Choke. Everyone needs to watch this cat fight. He just constantly pulls guard but does it in an exciting way before the inevitable tap. "Submission Of The Night"
Rob Broughton subs Vinicius Kappke de Quieroz by RNC.
Alexander Gustafsson upsets Cyrille Diabate by RNC Submission.
Claude Patrick defeats James Wilks by Unanimous Decision.
Cheick Kongo and Travis Browne battle to a Draw. Travvy came out gunning but could not put away Kongo in the 1st round. In the 2nd, Cheick brought out the leg kicks and began the trend of leaning against the cage and illegally grabbing shorts. Browne was ready to gun again for the final round but Kongo didn't want to fight and instead held Travis against the cage grabbing his shorts until a point was taken away and the judges still could not get the decision correct.
* We learned here the judges are still stupid and Kongo's days in the UFC are nearing a close. Perhaps we'll get a rematch here with the rare Draw, but Browne could be interesting if he gets some cardio and a game plan.
Mike Pyle shocks John Hathaway and take the Unanimous Decision. Pyle just out grappled, out hustled, and out gunned the British prospect who was caught completely off guard. That's a veteran fighter, trained well at Xtreme Couture, and hungrier than the media darling rook.
* John has a ton of time at 23 to develop into what everyone thinks he will be and "Quicksand" looks for a step up in competition and perhaps a "name"opponent.
Carlos Condit KO's Dan Hardy in the very 1st round. The "Outlaw" never seemed to find the distance and rhythm but Condit came out firing and his stand up has never looked better. So much for Greg Jackson fighters being "boring" as "NBK" shocks all of England.
* Condit meets the winner of Shields/Kampmann and Hardy gets the loser of GSP/Koscheck 2.
Michael Bisping puts it all together and defeats a very tough Yoshihiro Akiyama by Unanimous Decision. "Sexyama" hurt Bisping with the very 1st punch of the night, but the "Count" recovered and just took the fight. The boxing was so crisp even thought the takedowns were not. Akiyama was game to scrap and the fight was good, but kept looking for the big bomb instead of fighting his fight. A brutal shot to the pills and Yoshi is floored on the mat and spent a long time in anguish. Akiyama should be commended on continuing the fight at all but Bisping would not be denied and ran away with the spoon.
* Bisping thinks he's 1 fight away from the title but he is crazy. A possible rematch with Wanderlei Silva or a bout with Demian Maia.
6-4 on the picks. Awful.
