And that's what I get for picking against my homestate fighter.  Awesome, albeit late, knockout.

Erik Koch really needs to go back to 145, also the ref let that go on a little to long.

How Koch was the favorite in that fight is beyond me. Daron is the better overall fighter and he proved it.

@gunn i'm with you man, even thoguh I picked safe with Koch... I was rooting so much for Cruickshank! I just can't stand Koch... and I don't really have a good reason or anything, just think he has a very ******y face, lol.

I'm really glad I didn't watch the weigh-ins and see Wall's beard.  I might have switched that pick because of it.

Another case of the better striker (on paper) knocking out the heavy favorite.  The Wineland KO was so sad though

I don't think there's ever been more upsets on a single UFC card.

UFC Fight Night 38 had more upsets but this event comes pretty close.
