It definitely had to be one of the most boring cards in recent memory.
CroCop clearly has no interest in actually fighting anymore, he is just picking up paychecks on his name, and the Bader v Nogueira and Serra v Lytle fights were far from captivating.
Overall the card was so disapointing I cant even be bothered to review the fights, other than to say that the few shining lights from this blackhole of an event were:
Sherk v Dunham - the veteran and former champion in Sherk took on the undefeated up and coming prodigy in Dunham. Thisfight was really going to show where Dunham stood in the food chain and he really lived up to his potential.
It was incredibly close fight that Sherk won by Split Decision, and one that will be controversial to some extent.
I felt Sherk won round one, Dunham convincingly won round 3.
I gave Dunham round 2, but it was so close that I was absolutely certain it would be a split decision, and not suprised in the slightest that Sherk got it.
It was a hell of a war though, and the one great fight of the card.
Seeing fellow UG poster Sean McCorkle get a crack in the big show, then crack big Mark Hunts arm was a highlight for all of us who follow Sean's comedic threads on the Underground.
Unfortunately after watching the snooze fest of a main event we are shown a great submission by CB Dollaway for Sub of the Night, but we dont get to see the whole fight, and to make matters even worse ( I know, seems impossible to get worse right?) the co-Fight of the Night - Mitrione v Beltram isnt aired either.
We have been blessed with some pretty good events lately, even if the cards havent been too awe inspiring so I will lay off this abortion for now, but the UFC really needs to bring the goods with the next event.
