Spencer Fisher vs. Dan Lauzon
The first thirty seconds of this fight was nothing but static for me as I am sure it was for everyone else. I think the UFC was having major camera
problems and they just went out at the beginning of the fight. Dan Lauzon
took down Fisher and used good ground and pound for the bets part of the first round. Fisher landed a nice up kick that rocked Lauzon early on.
Every time the fight was stood up Fisher made the most of it and was finally able to take advantage of it and put Lauzon away with a flurry that started with a big flying knee.
Winner: Spencer Fisher by TKO at 4:38 of round 1

2nd round - Starts off the same way, with Kongo leg kicks and then a Marrero takedown. Pretty much the same as round one in that Marrero dominated the fight here and kept it on the ground.
3rd round - Marrero takes down Cheick after some work up against the fence by Kongo. They are stood up as they had been several times before in this fight. Marrero took Kongo down at will and at the end of this round, I had Carmelo winning all three rounds. The judges did not agree with me.
Winner: Carmelo Marrero by split decision
