Main Bouts (PPV):
Jon Jones taps Vitor Belfort by Americana submission at 0:54 of the 4th round to retain his Light Heavyweight Championship. Belfort came so close to the crazy upset as he almost caught “Bones” with an armbar in the 1st round. Jones willed his way out or prayed to Jesus, and from there Jon took total control. Vitor tried pulling guard over and over again as he quickly wore down setting up the inevitable finish. Now we can all praise jesus together in celebration!
* Now we can hear Dana White talk about how much he loves Jon Jones and what a great person he is.
Demetrious Johnson defeats Joseph Benavidez by Split-Decision (47-48. 48-47, 49-46) to become the 1st UFC Flyweight Champion. This went about as expected and I’m not surprised by the decision even though MMAFO scored the bout 48-47 for Benavidez. Hit and run style wins the day but the crowd had no right to boo the competitive contest.
Michael Bisping defeats Brian Stann by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). The “Count” mixed things up and abused Stann for 15 minutes in about the only fight I got correct. Stann is just to slow for Bisping and has not developed the ground game he swore he was spending all of his training upon. Another solid win for Mike who has now gone 6-2 at Middleweight and deserves a title shot.
Matt Hamill defeats Roger Hollett by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) in lackluster fashion as predicted. “What?” looked as rudimentary as he did when he “retired” only this time against just plain bad competition. The fight was horrible and Hollett just proved he doesn’t belong in the UFC.
Cub Swanson TKO’s Charles Oliveira at 2:40 of the 1st round! Cub landed a body shot that seemed to make Oliveira shit himself followed by a big punch that caused Charles to move away and then suddenly collapse to the mat as if by delayed reaction. It was strange to say the least but another highlight (sort of) win for Swanson and a setback for “Do Bronx.”

Prelims (FX):
Vinny Magalhaes submits Igor Pokrajac by Armbar submission at 1:14 of the 2nd round. The theme for the FX prelims turned out to be terrible strategy. For some reason, Igor decided to not only stay in the guard of Vinny who is known as a one dimensional fighter who only excels at Jiu-Jitsu, but Pokrajac also took Magalhaes down in the 2nd round which, of course, led to his defeat as the Brazilian squirreled around and got the arm tapping Igor and hurting him in the process. I don’t know what the “Duke” was thinking but he should be embarrassed by his effort. “Submission Of The Night”
TJ Grant defeats Evan Dunham by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-28) in a great competitive bout. I’m not sure why Dunham was pissed at the decision here tonight. TJ’s striking skills were vastly improved as he pressed the action and out landed Evan in the 1st two rounds. Evan would get hit and smile, scream, or pose, but that only served notice to the judges that he was getting hit, not to mention the river of blood flowing down his forehead from a well placed knee by Grant. It was an excellent fight with both men competing hard but Grant simply was more effective and I’m shocked that Dunham was shocked that he lost. “Fight Of The Night”
Sean Pierson defeats Lance Benoist by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) for the hometown feel good story. “Pimp Daddy” came out on fire and just looked like he refused to lose in front of his fellow Canadians while Lance had nothing to offer as he got beat up consistently until the last round. Finally, Benoist landed a shot that had Sean out on his feet wobbling to the ground as the younger fighter pounced. The clock was ticking down and it was amazing that Pierson survived but he had done enough to win the 1st two rounds and showed serious heart in the last.
Marcus Brimage defeats Jimy Hettes by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Finally, the last bout on the FX prelims which showed just the most ignorant game plan or lack there of. Jimy is not a stand up fighter. Its not his game and he proved it tonight. Hettes just stood in front of Brimage with his hands at his waist eating shot after shot and getting knocked down in the 1st round. Jimy then won the 2nd taking things to the mat where he excels and then inexplicably went back to standing and missing with his strikes while Marcus lit him up in the last round. Just a baffling display of stupidity and why didn’t his corner do something about this moronic plan?

Prelims (Facebook):
Seth Baczynski KO’d Simeon Thoresen at 4:10 of the very 1st round. Seth landed a hook that dropped Simeon like a stone to the mat. Completely out in impressive fashion. “KO Of The Night”
Mitch Gagnon submits Walel Watson by RNC at 1:09 of the initial round.
Kyle Noke TKO’s Charlie Brenneman at 0:45 into the bout in a controversial stoppage by the referee. Unlike the bout against Anthony Johnson, this time Charlie was right in his indignation at the stoppage. Sure Brenneman was dropped but Dan Miragliotta stepped in far too soon as Charlie was shooting on Kyle and was obviously able to defend himself. The look on the ref’s face said it all as he looked like he knew he screwed up.
4-8 on the picks. Holy shit I'm rustier than Matt Hamill's ears.
