Zabit is impressive he fights like Yair Rodriguez except with a much better ground game.

I have been big on Zabit for a year or two,guy is so exciting and that was an awesome debut,and a great call out.I think he'd destroy Artem.

I think Artem will lose to Andre Fili so that fight wouldn't make sense but Fili's performances are all over the place so who knows.If Artem wins then I say book it but at the same time that's almost 2 months from now I want to see Zabit again asap.

10-9 Rakic

Rakic started off slow but really finished strong there.  I was pleasantly surprised with how well he took some of those shots from Barroso.  Those really sounded like they had some serious power in them.

I don't know what Hardy and his partner were blabbing about Barroso's punching power. The guy has never finished a fighter in the UFC. They called him an exciting fighter and he is unbearably boring.

Solid go round for his debut and did a good job pressuring Barroso.  I am surprised he did not attempt more high kicks.

Good win for Rakic.  He has real potential to make noise at 205.  Interested to see who he gets next.

I agree,Barroso is in the mix for most boring fighters in the UFC,for sure top 3 for me.

Yeah I kept anticipating high kicks but they never came,or few and far between.

LHW actually has a few decent looking prospects right now. I'd match Rakic up with Reyes and Edilov with Giles unless he drops to MW.

WOW!

I have never seen Khabilov get countered like that when it comes to grappling.

10-9 Khabilov

Des countered some of the grappling, but Khabilov was still able to dead lift him like it was nothing.

Could be 1-1 but Green's putting forth so little ofense that it might be 2-0 Khabilov

29-28 Khabilov

Green defended takedowns well, but really didn't put forward enough offense. Shame really, because he can be an exciting offensive fighter.

I definitively had Green taking the last 2 rounds and winning the fight. However, I hope Khabilov gets a step up in competition instead of getting guys with 1-0 or 2-0 records in the UFC.

Because I was expecting the usual Prazeres blanket party, that was actually slightly interesting.

10-9 Prazeres

That was outright domination on the ground.  Burnell needs to keep this on the feet or he is going to be outclassed by Prazeres.
