Bringing my thoughts from the other thread over here.

Khalidov wrecked Santiago...from a hammerfist off his back. I saw Jorge get the takedown and thought, "Well, this is over." Wrong!

Dave Herman also did something I've never seen before - KOed his opponent Jim York with kicks to the face while York tried to secure a heel hook.

Masvidal vs. Joe Stevenson, uh, Kitaoka was the shit too.

As for the main event, yeah, that judging was indeed off. At least one judge got it right by scoring it for Hioki. The lesson I've learned is don't bet when Omigawa is fighting. I know sprewell gives me crap for my conspiracy theories, but it might be justified here. Two VERY suspect split decisions in his last three fights.
