Huh, nobody cared?

...And rightfully so. Shitty card. EXTREMELY shitty card.

"Solid performances". Solid, like, sleeping-pill solid.
Think, Jon Fitch vs Jake Shields.

Gonna disagree here, Action Jackson.

Gilbert Melendez (c) vs Jorge Masvidal - 5 rounds of pure striking. Sure, it wasn't K1 level, but it was good. They tagged each other with plenty of heavy shots, yet kept their composure, and continued to fight with strategy, technique, etc.
Oh, so if they don't start to gas out, lower their hands and throw haymakers, then it's not exciting/dramatic enough? Pfft, go watch Carlos Garcia or something.

Cristiane Santos (c) vs Hiroko Yamanaka - Boom

Seriously, is Gegard suffering from depression? His last few fights, he seems so mechanical, like no emotion at all. He fights... too rationally. It's not in his advantage.

By the way, the judges were: Cecil Peoples, John McCarthy and Gene Lebell !!!

I'm sure plenty of Bullies watched these fights but this is hardly the place for a live running thread about them.

No offense intended whatsoever.

Thing is, gaah, I was honestly bored by that card.

Can't help it. :)

I liked it Noons and Evangelista lots of action as was Melendez and Masvidal. Even Cyborgs fight was fun even though I wanted at least half a round out of her fight.
