Remarks:
Extremely disappointing event, by Dana White's own admission who said he was embarrassed by it. The undercard however was awesome with 3 KOs and 1 Sub. Ryan Jimmo tied the UFC record with a 7-second KO, Rivera and Carvalho had some nice KOs as well. The Caraway fight won fight of the night, and rightfully so, nice sub after getting hit pretty hard. The Main Card was the horrible parrt, with the exception of the Riddle-Clements fight (Riddle was brilliant btw at the post-fight presser if you get a chance to watch. He called out Dan Hardy and talked about his negative experience with Brits). Ebersole-Head was a snoozer. Jordan-Kongo was a travesty thanks to Yves Lavigne who let them clinch against the cage for most of the fight w/o breaking them up. Lombard's UFC debut fell flat on it's face. Faber-Barao though was a very good fight but unfortunately suffered from the previous fights stink.
