@ronin the belcher fight was only set as TKO for about a minute in between when the fight ended (and it looked like a TKO) and when they announced the result (as a verbal submission)

I had ellenburger by ko late.  I thought he would get taken down a bit but he shrugged shields off easily.   Great fight.  I guess shields win streak in the smaller shows was because of them being smaller shows.  Hes definitely a great fighter but in the ufc, he barely beat kampmann. He lost to a one eyed gsp. Now he gets knocked out in the first round against a guy just coming into most peoples radars.  Actually makes me a bit worried for hendo and mayhem returning.

I did well. I'm happy. I thought Lopez and Yang did enough to win, but in exchange Koch won, I was scared the judges would ruin that one.

Ellenberger is great. Shields is what I always said he is (over rated). Court is better than I thought, Yang is what I thought (fun but nothing special really). 

Haven't seen the Benoist fight yet, but I'm happy to see he won, despite me going with my head and picking against him. Was that a good fight?

I missed the dunham fight as well. Was that worth checking out?

Riddle/Benoist got FoTN. It was a pretty close fight and kind of brought up the scoring issue again. Like the Siver/Wiman fight, Riddle had one really strong round but not enough for a 10-8, and Benoist just edged the other two.

Dunham was entertaining, mostly due to the fact of Dunham tagging the hell out of Bailey and him having no TD success. I'm not sure if Dunham has pillow fists or Bailey has a granite chin...

the court mcgee vs yang fight was FOTN for me. that third round was great. CM is going to give alot of MW's problems b/c he can keep up the pace and has some serious cardio. i think they will build up CM and maybe they should give him J-Mac and see what he does vs him. i would pick him to win that one also.
