Alcantara and Omigawa was fight of the night.
it was an awesome fight too, but the barbosa one was just unbelievable!
Total BS barboza/Etim was boring until the knockout! doesnt deserve fight of the night!
Exactly !!! B.S.
If you thought that fight was “boring” up until the KO, stop watching MMA.
Agreed If you didn’t enjoy that fight then just quit watching MMA is not for you>
OR i could stop watching BARBOZA! watching someone kick the other guys leg for 2 rounds isnt fight of the night! i dont need to quit watching mma because of one fight! douchebag!
Erick Silva earns *Upset of the Night*
Mike Goldberg *Referee of the Night*
wtf smh i meant Dan M.
no, joe rogan
Hopefully the replay evidence will make them turn Silva’s fight into a win for him. He deserves his win bonus in his check, cause obviously he’s a beast and just won fair and square. In 29 seconds.
I think tavarez wone all rounds 30-27. i believe that was what was read by the announcer
I think it was 3 29-28′s for tavarez but your right bruce cleary said all three judges scored it the same.
Palhares is one dangerous dude.
I know Sam Stout had it in the last round but when you judge all three rounds he didn’t have enough points.
