I was super impressed with Falcao in his UFC fight. I forget who he was fighting but by the end the guy wanted no part of Falcao, he was a killer.

That's it... I was thinking Brad Tavares for some reason. I know i could've looked it up, but whatever, leave it to you experts here. Anyways, interested to see him in the cage again, like I said above, the guy was a killer.

Mirgs touched Richman THREE times during that GnP. Its never anything new with this guy. Consistently incompetent. Glad Richman got back on track. Its always cool to see guys finish that way. Use boxing the entire fight then switch to a kick to essentially finish it. It seems like its the really talented guys who can do stuff like that. BJ. Vitor.

Hope the other guy is okay though. Tough as nails but glad he went out before the bell because Mirgs sucks enough to have possibly let it go on. Surprised how bad his wrestling looked. I'll always have a soft spot for Minnesota MMAers I think.

Yeah, mirgs is a chooch. That dude was **** up from the kick.

Falcao is the dirtiest fighter in the game in the big leagues, edging out even Mike Kyle. Hope he loses.

I'm confused by Smith's comments there. He gave the round to Schlemenko because striking was even but Alex got the takedown. He tripped him, landed in guard, got stood up in 20 seconds because he let the guy get double overs and couldn't posture at all. Wouldn't the tiebreaker in that case go to Falcao for taking his back 2-3 times, even if it was while standing?

Nice stoppage. GnP, Falcao's head snapping between a fist and the ground. Eek.

Wow, Sandro so doesn't deserve that win. He was clearly the weaker fighter. What insane resolve, he gets clipped and concedes absolutely nothing, he's a rock. But he was also the lesser fighter.

I completely agree with taking a point and taking a point exactly like that. That ref acted perfectly. A warning and no second chance, that fence grab can change a fight...could save you from losing the fight, in theory.

Russian guys spinning kicks were on a dime and so effing fast, holy eff!!!

LOL @ Falcoa answering his cell during the staredown. That is hilarious, you could not give a bigger eff you to your opponent. Effffff. Oh damn, I hope someone else tries it with more reaction from the opponent.

All-in-all a weak fight night, I watch 'em all, but these fights were not that good... Next Thur should be better though...
