Undercard
Alexander Gustafsson def. Cyrille Diabate via submission (rear-naked choke) R2, 2:41
Gustafsson dominated the striking game in the first. It took him three tries to lock in a rear-naked choke in the second, but he eventually did. Very impressive performance by the Swede. No so much for Diabate. He seemed slow out there. - Helwani
Rob Broughton def. Vinicius Kappke de Quieroz via submission (rear-naked choke) R3, 1:46
Broughton dominated on the feet and ground from the get go. He rocked Quieroz a couple times and looked like he might submit him in the 2nd with a guillotine choke, but he finally got it done in the third round with ground and pound, which led to the submission. -- Helwani
Paul Sass def. Mark Holst via submission (triangle choke) - R1, 4:45
Good back-and-forth battle to start, but Sass was tougher on the ground leading to his eighth triangle choke in 11 pro fights. There's a reason why his nickname is "Sassangle." The Liverpudlian wins his UFC debut in his home country. -- Helwani
Spencer Fisher def. Kurt Warburton via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Fabio Maldonado def. James McSweeney via TKO (punches) - R3, 0:48
Steve Cantwell vs. Stanislav Nedkov fight has been scratched.

WEAK CARD!!
Same goes for the last 3 ppv cards..at least this one is free.
yeah, this is basically a Fight Night that they're calling as a numbered event.
You only get to complain when you have to pay for the card, but this is free.
Plus its not THAT bad
My predictions:
Bisping grinds out a BS decision(I am rooting for Sexyama, so I hope Im wrong)
For the rest of the fights..I'll just predict the winners
Hardy
Hathaway
Browne
Patrick
nice way to get all of them wrong!
Why the hell is Bisping still in the UFC? He's a chump! All mouth, no hands.
hahah very happy mcsweeney i mean mc women got his aaaaaassssssssssssssssss beat...haha cant wait to watch that time to beee cuttttttt
+1
yea man thank god mcsweeney lost. he is garbage. he talked so much trash on tuf10 and now he cant even win a prelim match evern in his own backyard
so tired of bisping and his mouth getting handed a free pass in ufc just so they can promote the ufc in england and europe
I hope the Prince Bisping gets his ass beat. Put him against one of the top contenders in his weight class and see what happens. He may not survive..............
I've only heard of one guy(Bisping) on this entire card and he certainly doesn't strike me as championship material. Is the UFC slipping?
No they're not, you just don't know jack about MMA. Even a VERY casual UFC fan would know at least 3 of the fighters on this card. I mean, one even fought for the welterweight title for christ's sake.
Bisping is a mediocre (at best) fighter who's few accomplishments include winning a season of the Ultimate Fighter. It should be noted that his competition was VERY weak. Subesquently, he has not beaten anyone of any real significance that would normally sustain a fighters employment with the UFC. He's there as noted by others because he's from the UK/Europe and the UFC is working hard to promote their label there. Americans love to hate him which makes those from Europe like him even more. Otherwise based on the UFC's standards he would definately NOT be still fighting for the UFC. He's not even a top 20 fighter in the division.
He won't be around for long. When enough UFC fans have also come to the conclusion that he's not a UFC level fighter he will get his pink slip. You'll notice foreign fighters are kept around longer than American fighters. This is to draw attention to foreign markets by providing foreign fighters. There’s no law or major ethical issue with that but the Bisping thing has been played out win or lose tonight.
im ready for 121 go Velasquez
the ufc is such bs now all the fight nights r garbage n why arnt any of the coaches of the ultimate fight show fights free anymore? its just all about the money now even most fight cards of payperveiws suck n arnt worth payin ta c
