I could not be more excited for the additional rounds in the flyweight tourney, if needed. To be truthful, I think these might be the first flyweight bouts I've seen personally.

Can't wait for this card! The main event should be a war and im hoping Kampman pulls it out. The flyweight fights should be entertaining as hell. Ian McCall was easily one of my favorite fighters in the WEC so I hope he looks good against Mighty Mouse. JoBiOne Kenobi and Urucrapani should be fun as well. So pumped for friday!

mighty mouse is one of my guys... mccall is a beast though.
costa/court should be awesome too though. costa was a beast vs hamman and jorge.

Missed out on tickets, bugger, but a solid card, looks great.
Hoping Kampmann pulls out the win over Alves. Hopefully Anthony Perosh (nice bloke) gets another win in the UFC.

fantastic... all the ufc ive been watching on fuel lately, was just a free pass. i gotta pay 6 bucks a month to get fuel (and some other crap channels that ill never watch). but every wednesday they show an old ufc event, plus all the shows/prelims they show live... i had to cave and buy it.

pineda is a beast. 2nd straight nasty sub for him... triangle armbar, beautifully done, and awesome job how he rolled into it from full mount.

10-9 noke... controlled the first 2+ minutes on the ground. craig doesnt look bad striking though, definitely should try to keep it there.

10-9 craig... he landed on top twice, for all intents and purposes, but the striking was about even aside from that.

10-9 craig, 29-28 craig... he was winning the stand up, and his takedown was considerably better and more active than nokes.

10-9 siler... fun first round, both looked good striking, edge to siler though. he wobbled him late, but even without that i was leaning siler.

very tight round... they both show nice striking and a great chin. i think siler is a better striker though, and i thought he was a touch better that round... though the best strike was the miller uppercut. still, lean to siler in that round, 20-18 siler.

10-9 miller, 29-28 siler. that 2nd round was really tight, if the judges saw even just one punch better or worse than i did, they could go the other way on it.

meh, im on the fence as to whether that was a bad stoppage or not... he was telling him to fight back, but it did look like he was just trying to ride out the last 10 seconds to get to the 2nd round. perosh was dominating though.
