Excellent night of fights last night.....you could definitely tell the Zuffa presence in effect with all the higher quality in pre fight production vids (That plus Dana showing his face with a Strikeforce shirt on lol....business as usual). Shitty reffing and judging was a problem though, Cecil Peoples is a shitty judge and even shittier ref...this guy shouldn't even be allowed in a sporting arena of any kind period, that plus the Mexican Yosemite Sam beard guy WTF was that? Gegard still needs to work on his takedown defense but he clearly did enough to win by one point. Aoki did what he usually does once the fight hit the ground, shitty gameplan by Beerbohm though. Melendez is a fuckin beast! Kawajiri has had some success in K-1 recently with his improved standup and Gil absolutely destroyed him, and Tatsuya is a legit top 10 guy...Gil made him look like he didn't belong in there. Gil's ready for the UFC guys, he matches up well with all those guys. Nick Diaz played a dangerous game in fighting Daley standing and got dropped twice because of it (almost got put away with that left hook), but he stayed in there and despite being dropped and had surprisingly good head movement making Daley miss most of those shots, his body head attack wore Paul down and he clipped him with a short right hook at the end that sealed it for him....helluva fight. I'd like to see him in there with a low level wrestler just to gauge how far he's come with the way he deals with wrestlers.
