Strange career for Nunes. Guy finishes his first 11 opponents and then goes to 11 straight decisions over a 5-year span. Then gets finished for the first time with a single punch in round 1.

Pittbull is a badass but who had Nunes fought that had that power . Mike Brown is all I see .

The way this card went partially makes up for the absolute disaster that was bellator 98 (aka my darkest day).

'Postlim'

On that note is there a way to watch it or will I just have to refresh my picks in a bit whilst 'makin teh prey 2 jesis' in hopes of a win Nunes style?

I don't think Pitbull would have defeated Kenny Florian ... just was making a statement based on how crazy the finish was.

@curtwag Palaszewski had the best KO rate of his UFC opponents. Mike Brown just hasn't gotten back to form ever since Ado destroyed him. If Nunes had survived the likes of Swanson and Aldo without being finished then I wouldn't have said anything about @skelliher's comment, but Nunes didn't fight the absolute best the UFC had to offer. Having said that, I don't disagree that Bellator's top guys would be competitive in the UFC. But that's been true of basically every #2  organization. Strikeforce, WEC, PRIDE (arguably #1).

Taimanglo would probably be the toughest fight for Freire out of the 3, but if he keeps his hands down the way he did against Fisher hes gonna get KTFOd

What the hell was Nunes thinking he literally lunges in with absolutely no defense.

3 of the 5 fights on the main card were terrible. Matyushenko's being the worst.

@BigJ, I agree. I only enjoyed Akop vs Wilcox(minus the thanking Jesus) and Pitbull flooring Nunes on the main card.
