My god, did I do bad.  4 out of 11 with no perfects.  Guess that's what I deserve for buying into the Hector Lombard hype train and not hopping on the Renan Barao bandwagon.  

And I still can't believe Matt Riddle continues to win, I dunno how he does it, but good for him!  7-3 in the Octagon despite all the criticism about how he's one of the worst fighters on the roster..... 7-3, that's a complete career for a lot of guys (well Riddle's too)

This event was terrible for me, only 4/11. Boring fights, aweful refereeing, questionable judging... it can only get better.

I feel like I won last night because I managed to stay awake.

Barao's legit & the boos they got were the fault of in order:

Lombard - wasn't actually as bad as the next few but had more expected of him.
The refs - Kongo/Jordan, possibly stole a 1st rd finish from Riddle, & a record from Jimmo. gotta be ready.
Kongo, Jordan, & Ebersole for having no clue 
The judges - Ebersole won a rd??  And I can't believe they GAVE Ring another dec over Court  ugh

Kudos to Riddle (best performance since breaking Simmler's jaw), Carvalho (deserved KOTN also), Rivera, Head, & especially Jordan Breen, who while being the only one of the 3 Sherdog "judges" to give rd 1 to Ring, did the correct thing imo in a close fight and gave rd 2 to Court SO THAT A CLOSE FIGHT GOING INTO THE FINAL RD WAS TIED. The current judging system is so screwed up that keeping a fight in mind as a whole despite the ridiculous limits placed on the judging system is of paramount importance.

Anyone else feel bad for Ebersole? he clearly looked like he was fighting a guy at the very least a weight class above if not two weight classes above him. Think the UFC should never have asked him to take that fight and I hope they end up doing him a solid for taking it.

@Kallouskown I agree. Feel worse for Ebersole though since he was planning on moving to light weight and he looked much smaller then in his last fight. Then he ends up fighting a guy who was  moving down from middle weight. To me it looked like Ebersole was technically the better grappler but was so undersized, he just could not get him to the ground.

so the first 3 or 4 fights we had empty seats on both sides of us, the people finally show up and the one guy that was sitting beside me was a pretty big guy, bald head goatee earrings etc I was thinking oh great it's going to get rowdy here now..turns out he was from winnipeg, deaf and pretty much slept through the entire event I thought he was going to fall over onto my shoulder.

Why feel bad for Ebersole? Because he had no answer for someone who stuffs his TDs? Plus this loss may not look as bad after Head has a few more fights at WW where he's yet to lose.
