Great fight between Newton and McGeary. I scored it for McGeary, 48-47. It's good to see the guy on the bottom rewarded for being the offensive one and causing more pain and discomfort. McGeary may have the slickest guard in MMA, albeit not the most effective. Although for that to be the case he might just need to make the simple adjustment to stick to one, simple move at a time, instead of trying to be greedy, and get the spectacular. Prior to that he's been winning via inverted triangles, mounted triangle with punches, elbows from guard, etc. It's a bunch of combo, exotic s**t. Just take the ho-hum sub from guard. These days, that's exotic enough in major MMA.

He might have a better shot against Lima than Ward, although maybe that's being a prisoner of the moment, and over-valuing style. Someone like Ward may exploit his grappling issue, but at least he's got a clear out there by potential KO. Lima is superior on the feet also and overall, but may give him a better chance by never trying to take the fight to the ground. I say put Lima-Koreshkov and Daley-Ward on the same card.
