Close fight with lots of near-guillotines between Duran and Rivera, with Duran getting the sub r3. Jorgensen 1-punch KO from guard in rd1. Edwards winning rd1 but blowing his load against Harvison, losing a split 29-28 decision which he maybe should have won. Shamar Bailey winning an underwhelming control-based decision as expected. Roop surprising Grispi with a very good all-round performance, finishing him in the 3rd. Stephens dominating Downes on the feet and with GNP to a decision. Cope showing decent striking against O'Neil in a stand-up fight, in which O'Neil did very little and was too slow. Heavy striked landed between Maldonado and Kingsbury in a slow fight which Kingsbury won with clinch knees and GNP. Overall, it's been decent, but I wasn't too hyped about this event anyway.

**** this ******* card. Maldonado clearly beat the **** out of kingsbury, I guess you could argue that he lost under the stupid ******* 10 point must system, but he clearly got his ass beat. Whenever they grappled, Kingsbury got outclassed. swept or threatened quickly every time. On the feet, he got beat up. I guess judges don't care about body shots. Also, they don't care if you land. Kingsbury's knees were all blocked. Every one. He spent the second half of the first round completely rocked. I can see how he maybe squeezed out the decision (although I think it was bad), but that's why this scoring system is so bad. He clearly lost the fight. 

Then Creduer got knocked out.

sorry for the rant but i'm pissed off.

I agree. Kingsbury got a BS decision, can't wait to see the fightmetric on that, wasn't even close.

Joe Rogan is so biased it ain't even funny, "Oh vicious knees by Kingsbury" when every single one was getting blocked.

Sad to see Credeur got KO'd, thought it was early at first but on the replay it was probably it a good stoppage. :-/

Wow, I really missed on the Ed Herman/Tim Credur fight. Now why can't Ed Herman fight like that all the time. He's like his teammate Chris Leben. He's hot and cold. Well, tonight he was on it. Congratulations Ed.

@ minotauro - I agree man, the judging in MMA is getting way out of hand. Judges don't even have a clue on how to truly score a fight. Kingsbury lost. This decision was even worse than Torres/Mighty Mouse. At least with the Mighty Mouse decision, I could see why he won, but this fight was ridiculously scored. Maldonado won the fight.

I thought Kingsbury landed the better strikes rounds 1 and 2, but Maldonado can take damage better. But you've made me think otherwise. I wanna see Fightmetric too.

I'd hate to see Guida win this due to top position.

Well, if there ever was a such thing as a 10-10 round Pettis/Guida round 1 should be scored just that, but I'm sure the judges gave the 1st round to Guida.
