[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Wait...an interim title is actually being defended?

 

[The Cork]

Yeah, Cruz is on the shelf till like 2014 so they had no choice really.

Barao would of been a mega heel if he'd sat out for two years just to wait for him :

Dennis Siver is injured and Dustin Porier is stepping up to fight Cub Swanson in his absence.

I sort of forgot about this card this weekend, but both the main event and Co-Main event should be awesome.​

 

[No More Sorrow]

Been a pretty entertaining show thus far, Porier/Swanson was pretty awesome.

 

[No More Sorrow]

First round easily to Barao, really have a feeling Mcdonald is going to end up upsetting Barao in this fight though, hoping i'm wrong though.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Barao wins via sub in the 4th round, McDonald made a mistake letting Barao get his back, seemed like he was good for a bit then Barao really locked it in and subbed him.

Glad i was wrong about that upset, and now Barao's win streak goes on to 20 straight wins. Have to say this fight was much better than what Urijah Faber put up against Barao last summer but honestly, I don't see anybody Dominick Cruz included giving this guy a challenge, the division is really lacking.

 

[Slim]

I just got home to catch the submission. Guess the fight was good.

 

[Dale]

I just caught the Main Event as I forgot how early it would be starting with it being over here. I was going to download the show but I looked over the results and saw how many decisions there were and it kinda put me off, not that it means it's a bad fight or anything.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah most of the fights were pretty good even though they mostly went to decisions, definitely check out Swanson-Porier though. James Te-Huna and Ryan Jimmo had a awesome fight as well, big come back win in that fight from Te-Huna.

That's fucking incredible

 

[The Cork]

My view from the nosebleeds

Boring ass show IMO.

Swanson looked really impressive and Barao/McMike were decent but nothing to crow about.

The Diabate/Manuwa fight looked fixed as fuck too. Not sure why Diabate got pulled out as it wasn't explained but rumours were cramp? What?

Gunnar Nelson didn't really live up to the massive hype and nearly got sparked out in the last few secs. Showed good jits though. Only other highlight was the new ring card braud.
