Not the greatest card but for the price we can't complain. The main event is a good one though as I want to see if Rockhold (former Strikeforce champ at 185) is for real. The winner should be in line to fight Chris Weidman after he take Anderson Silva's belt in July.

The ol' Dixieland Destroyer will be pullin' for Rockhold, Camozzi, Dunham, Lentz, Rio, Cholish, Gashimov and Larsen.

Dunham got screwed. I had the fight 29-28, giving Dunham the last two. The closest round was round 1, which Dos Anjos was winning the striking but got taken down in the last minute. Even the guys on Sherdog scored the fight for Dunham.

MMAJunkie scored it for Dunham as well. Evan is the anti-Ben Henderson. Dunham losses close fights he really won and Henderson wins close fights he really lost.

Henderson simply has the proper skin color whereas Dunham does not.

Lentz grinded out a good win however and we will see what Carmozzi and Rockhold can do. Just hope they don't let it go to the hometown judges.

 

[Liverlips]

Worst night for white fighters I've ever seen. Only Lentz gets the win (though Dunham really won too).

 

[Hawkeye2]

Rockhold would have won if not for a stupid game plan. The way to beat Vitor is to stay on him with leg kicks, and keeping your distance by circling away. Vitor is like Rampage, he is strictly a counter puncher who picks his spots.

 

[Hawkeye2]

The Brazilian cards are fixed to favor the brazilian fighters, the same way the British cards are fixed to favor thebritish fighters.

Dadgummitall! Whites went 1-7. <:-(. No doubt the judges were (blatantly) leaning towards the Brazos. >:-(

Unfortunately they're going to be doing more shows in Brazil, so expect more caste matches. I wish UFC would get rid of Joe Silva, the guy sucks, and he is the biggest caste-whore. Joe Silva knows nothing about MMA, he seems as dumb as Nate Diaz, and yet somehow the UFC lets him make the matches, I don't get it.
