I might try to watch this tonight via streaming online. :thumb:

I had Dustin Pague winning all 3 rounds, sure enough he loses a B.S. decision.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I'm not going to even bother watching this card.

 

[Liverlips]

Pague totally got screwed. Does anyone recall a white fighter ever winning a close fight in the UFC?

Pague totally got screwed. Does anyone recall a white fighter ever winning a close fight in the UFC?

Frankie in his first fight with BJ Penn. But that was in Abu Dhabi. In US, Brazil, Canada and Japan you might be looking for a needle in a haystack.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Frankie though has been screwed over in his last 3 fights.

 

[Liverlips]

Good to see Delorme with a UD over Figueroa.

 

[Old Scratch]

Yeah. The Abu Dhabi judges were more impartial.

 

[Hawkeye2]

To be honest I don't see the whites doing very well. I think Jordan might be able to pull off an upset against Pat Berry, if he can use his wrestling. Shield and Hendo are big underdogs and their fights.

 

[Hawkeye2]

I had Jake Shields win 2 rounds to 1 so no doubt they'll give it to Woodley.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Shields gets the split decision!

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Woo hoo! Jordan gets a first round KO over Barry!

 

[Hawkeye2]

Wow.

 

[Hawkeye2]

That fight lastest like 43 seconds. Great win for Jordan.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Dadgum Nelson needs to drop to LHW if he ever wants a shot at (any) belt.

Here are the card results. Good wins for Jordan, Shields and Delorme.

[Hawkeye2]

I think Barry should be cut, but that will never happen. I hope they give Nelson berry in his next fight..

 

[Hawkeye2]

Most of the people on Sherdog seem to think Hendo should have been given the victory.

 

[Liverlips]

Hendo and pague were robbed but good wins for delorme, shields and Jordan. Keep an eye on jimmo, krause and miocic as well.

 

[Old Scratch]

Evans isn't well liked, but that wasn't a robbery. I thought it was probably 1-1 going into the third round and Evans won that one. A robbery is Edgar vs Henderson II and Korean Zombie vs Garcia I. This was just a close relatively uneventful fight that our guy didn't get the nod.

I completely agree
