So far, the (not so) "Baby Face Assassin" Josh Barnett mounted Geronimo Dos Santos and struck his way to a stoppage in round 1.
The commentator sounds like the Croc Killer Steve Irwin, and show quality is obviously lacking but we're here for fights right...
Murilo Bustamante verbally submitted to Jesse Taylor after a few ground strikes in the first round.
Jeremy May dropped and rocked Murilo Rua and it was competitive until Murilo pulled guard and submitted May with a guillotine, though I thought it was May's arm Rua had, weird camera angle. After the loss, May attributed part of his performance to weight-cut diarrhea and the commentator shouted afterward with the Aussie accent, "Diarrhea!"...funny stuff.
So far and surprisingly, Denis "The Kan" Kang is controlling, for the most part, Paulo Filho on the ground. I'll come back with the winner.
Kang still looks good in the opening of the 2nd but half way through Paulo mounts and gives some GNP. Kang suddenly sweeps and gives the same in kind to Filho for the remainder of the round.
The 3rd was back and forth on the ground, but Kang had 2 submission attempts and with the control, I give it to him...decision is....29-28 Filho, 27-30 Kang, 29-29... Split Draw! BS! But I had some Mary Jane...
Ebersole/Newton - E dropped Carlos but Carlos got right up. Back and forth, E's stand up defensive is "tuck and block", but it's working so far. He had Carlos against the cage and even tried 2 cartwheel kicks but after he missed Carlos a nice body kick. Round 2 sees Carlos pressed against the cage again...
E proceeds with dirty boxing but Newton turns it around with some good punches and E backs off, Carlos moves in with a kick and just as E almost catches it, Carlos slips on his *** and E back's off to recover. Trading in the middle, E shoots in but no deal, Carlos checks 'em with uppercuts, E tries HK, misses a leg kick but lands a good one. Carlos tries a judo throw and is unsuccessful but follows up with a HK that lands. Now you know I'm not MMAJunkie play by play but I'm trying...
Ebersole tries spinning back fist, misses, goes for a flying knee to the body and I think it landed but bad camera angle. Tied up at cage, separated. E shoots and catches a punch. Seems like there is a DJ talking while they fight, trying to pump up the crowd, weird. They trade leg kicks and a few punches. DJ pumps up crowd some more. E shoots in twice, tries jumping knee, DJ really urging as the clock ticks, they trade a few punches and it's over. I got Ebersole but I guess this is the first fight that had action, but still seemed boring.....Decision: 30-29, 30-27, 30-27, Brian Ebersole, go DJ.
Paul Daley just Won a good fight the Brazilian Guy he just fought was Paddling Backwards with every punch Daley threw but he did get some TD's and avoided the KO but Daley Pulled off the win with a good Elbow "Ouch"
Pedro's face looks like an old catcher's mitt, I mean he's aged a lot since I last saw him. But he looked good and I felt every leg kick and I believe it was the 3rd leg kick in the 1st that made Ken kollapse and it only took a few punches for the stoppage.

It was about the 5th kick or maybe even a few more I believe that dropped him. Those were viscous kicks, I winced as almost everyone of them landed. I told my brother as they kept landing and Ken made no attempt to do anything to change the fight that he was gonna get finished with those leg kicks. You could see it coming a mile away, looked almost like he would eat kicks till he couldn't anymore and collect a check. Unfortunate.

Sounds about right. He said something like "I'll keep coming back and taking an *** whoopin' as long as you guys want me to". Shameful, and I love seeing him lose but I'd rather not see him at all anymore. His pre-fight talk was packed with promises to come straight at Rizzo and he didn't try a thing.
That announcer was funny s---, i thought it sounded like they were doing play by play too during some of the fights. I cant really tell though. If i was a fighter i think that announer dude would piss me off a little.
Busta verbally asked for the fight to be stopped after a stand up in the second round where he fell to one knee. He stated that he doesn't know quite what happened, didn't feel getting hit too hard and said he felt fine afterwards. The guy is getting older, sucks to see a legend like Busta have something like that happen to in a fight he wasn't out of.
Daley CRACKED Acacio with an insane elbow that split dude open to where he asked Big John to stop the fight. He claims afterwards that he has never been split open, thought something may have been broken and panicked.
Glover Texeira had am impressive outing, took out his oppponent in the first.
