Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 1421st

Those were such a terrible calls by the judges on Makdessi and Watson, they both got robbed. Although I wanted Cariaso to win I think he lost that match. It was very close but unfortunately Martinez was robbed of the win, it was just a bad call by the judges all around. And lets not talk about the quick stoppage by Herb Dean, He was doing his job bad those strikes were all being blocked very well by Faber and given a bit of time he could have stood up and continued. When in that position you just have to Block and wait till your opponent stop, changes his attack or slows down, you need that opening to explode out and/or move. I think a rematch is due for Lamas, Faber, Makdessi, Watson; Lamas was outstanding but he needed to do more in the earlier rounds. Over all good match, looking forward to Lamas vs Aldo II probably at the end of the year, somewhere between November to December.

Keep an eye out for Neil Magny and Clint Hester these two keep improving every match. Al Iaquinta vs Kevin Lee, wow what a match, those two went to war, great match. Jamie Varner vs Abel Trujillo talk about match of the night it was a war from start to finish. Varner should have taken the time to compose him self and stayed away from brawling like he did. He had Trujillo in all sort of trouble but got careless and got caugth. Trujillo is a big and powerful fighter for 155 Lbs, he has one punch knockout power, so was it was a terrible choice by Varner, sure made for a great finish and match though.

As for Overeem vs Mir, Mir needs to take some time off to get his head straight and decide if he wants to keep fighting. He just hasn't been there mentally for his last 3 matches. He was doing very well against Daniel Cormier on the stand up, then he just quit mentally shut down and has been like that since that match. Before that he was terribly beaten and battered by Junior Dos Santos, so who knows he might have some head, psychological trauma or other things outside of the ring that he has to deal with first before coming back. We will have to wait and see what hes future holds for Frank Mir.

Mike, do yourself a service and stop trying to defend yourself. I did enough of that for you and now you're making me look bad.
