James Thompson is HORRIBLE... I'm pretty sure a punching bag would K.O. him.
Having said that, Kawaguchi missed his chance to win earlier in the fight and actually allowed him to hang around, as both guys gassed out, it becomes a coin flip... Decision, with a fight being judged in it's entirety, Kawaguchi wins a split, sad sad fight.

Hansen pulls out a good victory. Good for him to get a bounce back win
Hideo Tokoro looked pretty impressive against Chase Beebe, knocked him out pretty good.
Mayhem Miller owned Sakuraba, easy arm triangle choke early in the 1st
Mousasi dominated Mizuno. Showcased some good ground and pound and excellent ground control in general. Had a nice sweep just prior to sinking in the choke to finish him off.
Overal a goodnight of fights. After 5 hours, I've had a lifetime worth of the Voice, I don't mind him sometimes, but 5 hours is a bit much...

Fantastic card. Really enjoyed it top to bottom. I'm surprised people thought Ishii would lose to Minowaman. Minowaman is one of my favs like everyone else but the matchup really left for no other finish outside of a haymaker landing (I'm thinking the same in regards to mir against cro cop. I have cro cop by easy decision.)

I can't believe how badly he desecrated the privates of his opponent, yikes.

Good event, though I'm not sure there was anything I would call a great fight.
I thought Ishida vs. Wicky was a prime example of what is wrong with MMA judging. Wicky won that fight, Ishida didn't do anything.
Michael Schiavello is the worst commentator I've ever heard in any sport. I'd honestly rather watch the broadcast in Korean or Japanese.
