All of these fights are specifically created to favor the black fighters. Kongo been doing MMA for about 30 years, Mittrione for about 5 years. They have Jacoby a boxer fighting a wrestling specialist, and they have Camozzi a part time fighter fighting a kickboxer who has beenfighting for like 20 years.
 
Bad results so far as both whites lost decisions. That being said, Carmozzi would have tapped his black opponent via kimura if the fight lasted 5 more seconds.
 
Downes was very lucky to get out of that first round. We are going 0-3 unless he can turn it around (though he has before).

Not seeing any fire from the white fighters tonight. It's like they are sparring.
 
I wouldn't bother watching the card. I figure Ramsey and his average wrestling is going to beat Danny and his good BJJ, that's just the way it is.
 
I didn't know Bart Palaczewski has a win over Anthony Pettis. Impressive as Bart is a natural 145 pounder. Griffin didn't make weight (came in at 149) so he got fined. But he won't be as drained as Bart so that will give him an edge.
 
Cowboy Cerrone looked excellent in KOing Siver. He is close to a title shot. Wouldn't mind seeing Donald face Pettis next.
 
Hoiki is proof you don't need to know anything about standup to win a fight. Hoiki is probably the worst striker I've seen in the UFC. Meanwhile Roops TDD is actually worse than Dan Hardy's if that is possible.
 
Roop wins but got screwed by the judges. A bit surprising as I thought Hioki would tap him. Roop clearly won rounds 1 and 3.
 
I think Nelson, JDS, Cain, Mir, Brock, Carwin, Overeem, Schaub, Conrad, Cormier, and Barnett are all better fighter than Kongo. He has never impressed me and has never defeated any real great fighter.
 
Mixed results in the two biggest caste matches of the night.

Ben Askren (white) beat Jay Hieron (black) by decision to keep his 170 belt in Bellator.

Chieck Kongo won a decision over Matt Mitrione. I had Matt up 2-1 but the judges saw it differently. Matt hurt Kongo in the 2nd round but the bell rang and he didn't finish up. Matt got taken down in the final round. Mitrione should have been more aggressive and he certainly needs work on his wrestling. But he is a baby in the game so hopefully he can learn from the loss and come back better.

I can see a Schaub v. Mitrione fight coming up.

B.J. Penn announced his retirement after the loss to Diaz.

He later pulled back and said he's just going to take some time off. Dana probably talked him out of retirement so Zuffa can squeeze some more PPV buys out of him.

That will be a great fight. I don't like the Diaz brothers (act too thuggish...sans the tats), but they're outstanding fighters. Let's hope the Cowboy gains the victory. :)
