A very close 30-27 Sicilia on my card. Meza managed to do work late in each round but lost most of that one.

If the decision turns out how I think it will, Sicilia beat Meza at his own game. 

I wonder if Sicilia is injured or something with all his lack of striking.

If you'd have told me before hand that this fight was going to be contested for the most part on the ground I'd have figured Meza would be the winner. Good to see Sicilia improving his grappling, but it made for a pretty lackluster fight. I guess FOTN so far would be Strickland and Araujo? Ready to see Jouban starch someone. He's incapable of having boring fights it seems.

I can't believe Sicilia almost gave away the fight by going to Meza's strong suit at the end of the fight. There's no way he's not going to get choked out going for a lazy shot in a future fight of his.

I would give FOTN so far to Andrade/Moras slightly, but other than that I agree completely. I hope Jouban brings a nice finish.

The fact that Frank Mir is somehow the #10 ranked HW after going 1-4 in his last 5 fights is truly a testament to just how shallow/terrible the HW division is as a whole.

Awesome round. I think it's a 9-9 round personally, wouldn't be surprised if judges give it to Dwyer though, he did drop Jouban.
