Riddle got lucky. Martinez had a great plan at first with counter punching but Riddle turned up the heat with the leg kicks and wore Henry out. Hope the UFC gives Martinez another chance, maybe even at LW and see what he can do. He has some power & a nice rubber guard, but didnt get to fully see it as he was in survival mode there at the end.

Lets go BROWN! Talk about another guy near the edge of being cut by the UFC. Got a huge win in his last fight, which I didnt see happening.

I had a feeling we would see a much improved Cope.  Still probably 10-9 Brown.

Cope doesn't react well to getting hit, and it caught up to him there.
