The main event is definitely interesting but the top 2 "undercard fights" are the most intriguing to me. I think Till wins a bonus and while I expect Taisumov to win, Silva is an interesting test.

Strange hours to see UFC.

Hopefully the card will keep us entertained.

WHAT A HEAD KICK AND KO BY GOUTI!

Amazed that Holbrook held on for as long as he did.

Gouti surprised me totally.

No questions about his supremacy and my first wrong prediction of the card.

Starting off with the right sort of violence. Sometimes these somewhat weak Euro cards have the best match-making.

Big missed opportunity for Holbrook. He had the opportunity to get off the "bubble" but now he joins Gouti. Either guy could be cut with anything but a very good performance. They'll both probably be booked as prospect fodder.

10-8 Edilov

How Mihajlovic was able to survive to a round 2 is beyond me. That arguably could have been stopped multiple times.

Solid ground and pound knockout by Edilov, but that was an irresponsible stoppage by the ref.

10-9 Magomedsharipov

That was a fun first round.  Magomedsharipov was throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at Santiago.  I think he even attempted that double kick technique Raymond Daniels threw in Glory.

Really good round and very close. I give it to Zabit 10-9 even though most of his fancier techniques didn't actuallly land effectively.

Solid debut for Zabit Magomedsharipov.  He is a real star in the making, me thinks.
