Welterweight - Jon Fitch v Demian Maia - Fitch Decision
Flyweight - Joseph Benavidez v Ian McCall - Benavidez Decision

I can't believe the disrespect Alistair Overeem showed Antonio Silva, I wanted him to win but glad he got KO'd big style after the way he just fought the 1st round with his hands down, if he was wearing trousers he'[d have had his hands in his pockets.

'Bigfoot' 12 KO's from 17 wins & he stands there with zero guard.... Crazy!!!

Outside The Cage: Predictions analysis

No real change in the standings after the latest event, other than groundnpound earning the right to be the sole owner of top spot.
A shared card win by Mitchell & Master Yoda only moved them up the points ladder & wasn't enough to move them into the top 3.
It's back to the training octagon of his North West gym for Paul Ducky who stays bottom of the tree.

Even though I picked Overeem, I enjoyed seeing him get KTFO by Bigfoot.

BIG UFC fight annouced today lads: Jose Aldo Jr. vs. Anthony Pettis for Aldo's UFC Featherweight Championship on the 3rd of August. Can't wait for that.

I've mot seen any of this series of TUF but this looks a bit special!



UFC 157 Primetime: Rousey vs. Carmouche

One of the best Ultimate Fighters I've seen this series. Jones comes across different to what I thought he was like. He's not just pure talent, there's a steel and a definite ruthless edge to him. In the last episode he spoke to his team about using elbows on the ground to cut guys open. Said you'd be surprised how many fighters haven't seen their own blood and the effect it has on them when they see it. Took me by surprise a bit, it'll take an absolute monster to take his belt from him.

That KO was unreal. Uriah Hall, the lad who landed the spinning back kick KO, is brilliant. He's the winner for me. Looks championship material in the making.

Velasquez vs Bigfoot 2 & Dos Santos vs Overeem at UFC 160 in May.
