Good win for Cormier. Running away the last 10-15 seconds makes me hate him.

I want him to get KTFO in his next fight.

To be honest, he really surprised me, his striking was way more polished then I thought it would be.

It just really bugged me.

I f'n sucked for these picks lol good card overall

Cormier running at the end was annoying for me too. With that said, dude is a BEAST. Wrestling is absurd but he doesn't just lay on people, he throws. Hell, he almost ended it with a head kick! As if he needed another tool in his arsenal.

I can't stand wrestlers that just grind things out, they're by far the most boring fighters. But when you get wrestlers that can throw you get the most exciting fighters. Not a fan of Cormier's yet or anything but he sure is fun to watch. Besides that 5th round of running.

Barnett took the beating well and if his hand was broken in the 1st like he said, even more props.

Melendez looked average last night. Like he said, it was a lose/lose fight for him. And he lost. Can't run around saying he's the best lightweight in the world after that. Time to really prove it in the UFC.

As for the scores, I'll trrrry to get to it before the Kings game, otherwise, afterwards!

Well I think this event threw everybody for a loop a little bit as everybody had a rough time getting distances and finishes right. But it was a four fight card with two fights that had five rounds, so it was rough.

HardHitt3n took 1st breaking the 20pt barrier and royjonesjr and Agitator97 tied with 19pts a piece to round out the top three.
