Dollaway losses and then gets the "TUF: Brazil 3" middleweight winner.

Fight Matrix is giving the events 2.5 stars for significance. That's the same as WSOF 11. Fight Night - McGregor vs. Miller is only getting 2 though.

I went to 2 bars that show all the Fox events and buy all the UFC events and neither of them had these fights.

Who would you guys favor in a Rockhold/Mousasi fight?

I love how 185 is suddenly good by the way.

Mousasi but I haven't really seen enough of Rockhold.

LOL, GoRaps, you're the best. Probably the first time in history either Dollaway or Carmont has been associated with an exclamation point.

First fight had a cool sub.

Didn't watch anything else until the main event. Meh.

Mousasi vs. Rockhold or Kennedy would be cool. Would favour Mousasi in both I think.

I don't like the Kennedy fight for Mousasi from a stylistic perspective. But that's coming from a big Mousasi fan lol.

The fans win that fight. That's one of the most fun fights possible at 185. Both guys I'd love to see challenge Lyoto for his belt.

Did anyone catch the Ruslan Magomedov fight?

Both guys have high octane offense. And I see what you did there with Lyoto. 8-)

You know it 8-)

I wish that top control and takedowns didn't score so high in american MMA, I get why they do it since wrestling is so pervasive in this country, but it still bums me out. Gegard is so damn slick on the ground and when it comes to grappling, but because he ends up on his back and doesn't shoot himself his style forces him to fight the scoring system itself. The way he reversed munoz on that massive slam was just pretty, but probably scored for Munoz.

Luckily there aren't that many elite wrestlers at 185 for Gegard to have to worry about, especially if Sonnen's as washed up without TRT as I think he will be, and Carmont gets knocked down the ladder again. Then the Chris would be the only top wrestler between Gegard and a title. Lyoto/Jacare/Vitor if he's still any good without TRT/Rockhold/Anderson if he comes back/Bisping none of those guys are going to come out to lay n pray him like King Mo did.

Not yet sure of what to make of Romero against elite fighters, and I think Kennedy, although a bad stylistic matchup, is just a significantly inferior fighter to gegard, like Munoz, so I don't think that bad style matchup would cost the Moose.

Rely hoping we get to see Mousasi face Anderson and re-match Lyoto before those two retire. I really like slick grappling, throws and sweeps, but seeing elite strikers like that try and figure each other out and pick one another apart just sucks me in like nothing else in this sport, not even a great brawl. That's why the more I re-watch Lyoto-Mousasi 1 the more it starts to pass Lil Nog-Shogun for my favorite fight of all time.
