Prelims are halfway done and hopefully Hunt vs Nelson will be as good as Hunt vs Bigfoot was.

Good start that main card as that was one bloody mean roundhouse kick to the body from Kunimoto

For once I'm glad a fighter got the hometown decision as this Walsh guy would give Cheick Kongo a run for his money when it comes to breaking the rules in a MMA fight.

If Rin Nakai is the best that Japan has to offer WMMA then may god help us all.
And boy did that fight just suck I'm amazed that a lot of people picked her to beat Tate.

Since both Sadollah and Sexyama have had 2 year lay offs hopefully this one won't suck.

Not the greatest of fights but Sexyama had some sexy judo trips and take downs there.

Well Jury made that look easy.
Looks like it is time for you to retire Gomi as you had a good run but pretty much now you are just a gatekeeper in the UFC.

I really enjoy how you can almost see Mark Hunt's small recalculations as a fight goes on. You can see him learning and molding his approach to land that heavy knockout punch. Changing timing. Adjusting to strategy.
For someone who is mostly played up as this big, tough, bar room brawler of a fighter, he's got some amazing style of cracking codes before jaws.

Really disappointed that Nakai lost but from what I read she held tough despite being that outmatched.
Roy Nelson, you're breaking my heart....

I really enjoyed this card. I thought sexyama looked great and Hunt is a f***ing beast.
Goldberg's commentary was awful though and he kept saying Hunt was the first person in history to KO Nelson (Arlovski was)
