Rani Yahya's BJJ is so sick. That was a very impressive finish.

Congrats to Mike Swick. So happy for him. COFFIN NAILS.

What a fight between Lauzon and Varner. Been a great night of fights thus far. Hopefully these last two fights build on it and don't kill it. I have my doubts though.

INSANE...............Great fights tonight.Good for Swick....alway been a fan of his.
From the snoooooooozer in Calgary to an amazing FREE card like this........WOW.

Lets just say I am enjoying this a little bit. I did not get home until the Phan fight.....how did the Davis fight go???

 

[canucksfreak19]

I am oh so happy to have been wrong.

 

[canucksfreak19]

I'd say 2-1 Shogun thus far.

The Davis fight was stopped about a minute in after Davis poked Prado in the eye and the doctor told the ref to stop the fight. No decision ruling due to unintentional foul.

Ouch....crappy way to end a fight.

I can not express how happy and entertained I was/am tonight. To be honest it was the first time I have EVER cheered for Vera. Now on the Bellator.

Cheers all
