What a great show. These free shows have been excellent. Even better than ppvs.
After Lombards octagon debut I really wasn't sure Lombard could hang in the UFC. He got back to his murderous ways and just short of destroyed Paul Harris. I'd like to see him smash Buspings face in but I have a feeling we won't see that fight for awhile. The winner of okami/belcher would be good too.
Chad Mended! Two KOs in a row. Albeit not again very highly ranked foes but regardless for someone considered by many a "lay n pray" master he looked awesome doing it. Fw is still a bit shallow but come on let's give this guy a top 10 caliber opponent. I know this last guy was a last minute replacement and props to him for stepping up but Mendes doesn't need to be crushing cans. Dustin Poirier would an interesting match up in my eyes.
Mike Pierce did what Mike Pierce does best. Get the takedown and grind out that decision. I can appreciate that style kinda like the way that I am a Jon Fitch fan. The cool thing about Pierce is he'd not afraid to fight anyone and always comes to fight. The only way he has lost in the past is by close decisions. I don't know who to give him next but a higher caliber fighter for sure. Maybe Matt Brown?
Joey Beltran saved himself from being cut with that performance. He was pretty dominate for 15 mins. I can appreciate Beltrans brawler style. If he was smart he would get some good wins crushing non ufc worthy opponents to avoid getting the axe.
Ross Perason straight up dominated Sots. I became a fan of Pearson after his fight with Barboza, which I thought he won. I don't know what hsppened to Sotiropoylos be something isn't right for him. Pearson looked really good and Sots couldn't handle the power of Ross. Ross Pearson vs Melvin Guillard tickles my fancy.
Oh and there's two more TUF winners but does anyone care?
