    relatively uneventful first round. knees to the legs and boddy in the clinch for almost the entire round. probabaly riddle's round, though.

    more of the same in the second, until matt gets full mount, but makes a huge mistake trying to transition to an armbar...ends up almost getting another one at the end, though! another round for riddle.

    i see kyria and dan sitting at cage side. nice. :)

    anyway, not the most exciting start to the show. they went from clinching on the fence to clinching on the ground. looks like matt riddle should win the decision. there was not much question, but he sealed it by getting mount again at the end of the third.

    Hey Mookie! Sorry for the late entry to the party. Shamrock's Twin and I are watching the event and cooking dinner ran a little long.

    Interesting first match and pretty much what I expected. Riddle still has a lot to learn in terms of technique but Riveria couldn't do much of anything.

    Wonder what happened to Tim Credeur v. Cale Yarbough??

    I'm very sorry to hear about your grandpa, leafs. :( Definitely try to unwind tonight.

    mmm...dinner...:D

    yep, kind of a stalemate there.

    this one should be wild, however!!!

    Definitively round 1 to Fischer. I love watching him fight, he's always exciting. I can't figure out why his forearms are bleeding ... I guess from raining down those elbows.

    Dinner (scallops, tuna steaks and zucchini), beer and the big screen. Probably my cush-est UFC event watching experience so far.

    fisher with some fairly dominant ground and pound in the first. not what i expected here. must have been how their training sessions went, sounds like spencer is talking to him.

    how crazy are those elbows from Fischer?

    Stephens looks gassed now.

    i know! nice! :)

    like you said, 1st to fisher and i'd say another definitive one for him. yep, spencer is keeping up a fast pace.

    hmm ... better round for Stephens. He almost had Fischer at the end there with the guillotine. I think it'll end up a (split) decision for Fischer, since IMO he took the first and second rounds.

    nice way to end the fight. more of those sweet elbows too! :)

    i might have to give the last one to stephens, but i don't know what joe is smokin' :D i thought it was pretty clear spencer won rounds one and two.

    i'm happy i changed to spencer for the win, but i should have kept the decision!!!

    you could see the grimace on his face. it was locked on pretty tight.

    indeed he does! :D i thought the picture was pretty funny after reading the description.

    two decisions and all these commercials doesn't bode well for pre-lims! still keeping my fingers crossed for one or two...

    i'd say first round to diego. not a bad round. diego needs to push the pace more.

    Round 1 to Sanchez? Close but I give it to him over Fioravanti based on striking and takedowns
