Hell of a card tonight. Zombie was crazy good. Can't believe how much better he has gotten since that 1st Garcia fight. Cerrone came back strong too. If they give him the fight he wants on the Denver card it might be against Pettis. :ehh:

just saw the show and the asian really surprised me I thought poirerer was goin to walk thru him but he imposed his will.Thoroughly enjoyed that and seeing an overhyped skinhead fall feels good too. Didnt see the judges portion of the sandallah fight but lookin at the bout he clearly lost, that should be 3 losses in a row now no?

Good to see cerrone come back with a vengeance but that loss really messed with his head he looked like a fool trying to imitate the dude that served him only a fight ago..Surprised stephens was so easily handled it has to be down to the sporadic-ness of his fights or something, hes better than that


ps hopefully saturdays SF show exceeds this, btw did I imagine thompson pullin out of his fight due to injury or not cuz the fight with melendez is still scheduled

Sadollah won a split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

I don't ever want to see either guy again after that fight.

Just caught the replay

sick fight man

zombie stepped his game up like crazy

even since getting knocked out by Roop back in WEC, he's ditched his reckless fighting style...his boxing is better and his submission game is crisp....

lookin 4ward to the potential of him takin on Aldo

That is some bullsh!t he clearly lost and has no hope in either the ww or mw div

It was weird. I didn't think he actually lost the fight cause he landed more strikes in the last 2 rounds and all Lopez did was stall. However, usually the judges give it to the guy who stalls anyway. He definitely got some home town cooking there but I didn't think much of it cause Lopez fought like a dumbass.


The real robbery of the night was Igor Pokrajac getting the nod over Fabio Maldonado. Fabio landed more in every round and had Pokrajac backing up damn near the whole fight. One judge even scored every round for Igor. That was bullshyt.

definitely. i thought he won the first 2 rounds and didnt pay attention to the 3rd but it looked like he was doing more landing. igors (lack of) ground work in the 1st shoulda cancelled out when maldonado got up and did what he did, the rest should have been clearer.

same thing happened to him with kingsbury imo.
