OFFICIAL RESULT: CB Dollaway def. Francis Carmont by unanimous decision (30-27 x 2, 29-28)

CB said before the fight he really wanted to make a statement here. This win should put him in the top 10. He used his style to defeat a dangerous striker and even dropped him with a hook. It wasn’t the most exciting bout, but it was fun to see the clash of styles and see CB do what he needed to do to get the W. At the end of the day, that is the most important thing for your UFC longevity. CB also understands the need to be exciting and it shows in the cage. Great job by a 6-year UFC veteran.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Gegard Mousasi def. Mark Munoz be submission (rear-naked choke) Rd 1 (3:57)

Munoz was ranked number 7 and Mousasi was 11 before this fight. This win should put Mousasi in the top 10. He also mentions he’d like the winner of Tim Kennedy and Luke Rockhold next — although I’m not sure that fight has even been announced. Munoz has now lost 3 of his last 4. Not looking so good right now against the top tier guys.

Don’t Forget!!
