MMAFO went 8-4 on the picks and got all 3 of our Upset Picks correct! Betting favorites went 5-7 on the night.
The Swedes themselves (Alex Gustafsson, Akira Corassani, Nico Musoke) went 0-3 on the night but Makwan Amirkhani won and is from Greece which is right next door. Ya gotta find the silver lining.
Dan Henderson was knocked down for the 15th time in his career! "Hendo" has lost 5 of his last 6 and the last 3 were stoppages.
Jon Jones continues to be King Asshole of MMA Tweeting to Gustafsson when he was down which is exactly what Jesus would do. What a prick.
Anthony Johnson TKO'd Alexander Gustafsson with an onslaught of Punches at 2:15 of the 1st round.
"Rumble" broke Sweden and Gustafsson's heart using his raw power to drop the "Mauler" before jumping on him and just blasting him out. Rough night for the Viking but now we get to see Johnson versus Jon Jones. The "Mauler" will be back and an awesome matchup against Daniel Cormier seems to make sense.
Gegard Mousasi TKO'd Dan Henderson with Punches at 1:10 of the opening round.
Somebody force Dan to retire before something really bad happens. "Sweet Sassy" Mousasi clipped "Hendo" on the top of the head which sent him careening to the mat. Gegard followed up with a few shots and the referee stopped the fight as Henderson struggled with the official and then claimed he was fine. Not so much Dan.
Ryan Bader defeated Phil Davis via Split decision (29-28 2x, 28-29).
A pretty terrible fight as expected but "Darth" rightfully won. Bader has now won 4 in a row while "Mr. Wonderful" has lost 2 of his last 3 and is most likely out of title contention for good unless he decides to evolve his game. It would be interesting to see Bader welcome back Rashad Evans later this year.
Sam Sicilia KO'd Akira Corassani at 3:26 of the 1st round.
A right uppercut to the body followed by an overhand right put Akira's lights out as he crashed to the canvas and Sicilia delivered a final punctuation punch to seal the deal. Time to say goodbye to Corassani.
"KO of the Night"
Albert Tumenov defeated Nico Musoke via Unanimous decision (29-28 3x).
Not much to elaborate on here. It went as expected.
Kenny Robertson KO'd Sultan Aliev with Punches at 2:42 of the initial round.
Good luck keeping Kenny off you in a fight. Robertson is very aggressive and it pays off. Kenny's striking is pretty sloppy but a left hand dropped the Sultan and a couple of rights put in the coffin nails.
Makwan Amirkhani TKO'd Andy Ogle with a Flying Knee and Punches 0:08 into the 1st round for a highlight opener.
Its total embarrassment for Ogle who has now lost 4 in a row and must be cut from the roster. No idea why Joe Rogan had such a problem with the stoppage and grilling Amirkhani about the ending was just unprofessional. You're better than that Rogan. Don't take away the kid's moment on glory harassing him about something for which he had zero control.
Nikita Krylov submitted Stanislav Nedkov via Guillotine at 1:24 of round uno.
Holy shit Nedkov is awful. But credit "Al Capone" for addressing training in a serious fashion and being ready.
"Submission of the Night"
Mairbek Taisumov KO'd Anthony Christodoulou with Punches at 0:38 of the 2nd round.
The Russian Tiger Muay Thai fighter is the real thing. MMAFO can't say this enough. Pay attention to this 26 year old! You are going to be seeing a lot of him. Christ had nothing to offer as expected.
"Performance of the Night"
Mirsad Bektic defeated Paul Redmond by Unanimous decision (30-27 2x, 30-25).
Redmond gave his best on short notice but was obviously outclassed here. Paul would be better suited back at Lightweight while the ATT fighter remains unbeaten at 9-0 with 2 wins in the Octagon. A step up in competition is needed to verify this guys prospect status.
Viktor Pesta defeated Konstantin Erokhin via Unanimous decision (30-27 2x, 29-28).
Jeesus Christ Erokhin looked terrible. We mean a Bellator level Heavyweight fighter terrible. The hype is wrong! Konstantin lit up Pesta early but after Viktor survived the opening deluge, and the Russian had zero left in the gas tank. Pesta took the "Russian Bear" down time and time again and Erokhin showed he knows nothing about the ground game. Just a terrible debut for him but Pesta showed some true skills and is looking to come to America to improve.
Neil Seery defeated Chris Beal by Unanimous decision (30-27 2x, 29-28).
The Irishman spoiled Beal's move down to Flyweight and now perhaps Chris will address the fundamentals of the sport. A nice win for the tough as nails veteran who remains a dark horse at Flyweight.
