The prelims were tough because a few were brink of defeat wins, fights like Matthews vs Terrado, Matthews was out striking Terrado but Terrado has an iron chin and good heart he was eating strikes and tons of knees to the head. Then Terrado just swung big punches and he was able to land and knock Matthews out despite losing up until that point badly. Ryan vs Song was a 50-50 guess on those guys but Song was doing well took Ryan down landed some GnP and Ryan just had a good guard trapped him in a triangle. Duarte vs Awad I think I mentioned earlier about Duarte burning himself out in the first and almost getting KOed in the 2nd, he took a lot of big shots, he just to get a sloppy desperation TD and a last minute arm bar. I really think Awad wound up punching himself out in the 2nd beating of Duarte.  Zwicker pretty much kicked the crap out of Albee, and Perez cruised to a decision. Takaya vs Peralta could be considered a bad call but it was an uneventful fight overall not much action from either fighter and was hard to judge because of it. 

Just rewatched the aoki fight. I noticed Aoki gesturing for the mic really wanting to speak but they didnt give it to him. anyone know why they didnt give it to him? i think its possible they didnt want him saying something like what he did at the press conference or something even worse.

I'd bet your absolutely right.

Just watched the Diaz/Daley fight that was an amazing 1 round fight...either guy could have won via stoppage and it would have been justified! Hoping to watch the Melendez fight really soon
