I would not be surprised if Dana got p***ed at Vemola and cut him. Though thankfully Vemola did come out swinging.

4-1 with 2P baby....

Don't care if he "played it safe" he dominated a wrestler...by out wrestling him. Markes is a Light Heavyweight future...Hell if he works on his striking and develops a finishing game... I could see him being a threat to whoever is the champ. Maybe a little premature in saying that but that's how I see.

That's a pretty impressive streak to come to an end.  Damn shame.

The Czech Republic must have some pretty crappy wrestlers for their 6 time champ to lose to a jiu-jitsu guy...

@ninja I actually don't think Markes is going to go too far in the division.  He could definitely stick around the UFC a while, but I suspect whenever he steps up to a tougher fight he'll fall short.
