Filho vs Kang is the only fight out of all those I find interesting.

It's unfortunate, but Ken gets another L.

Who knows? Both guys are completely shot. I don't even want to watch it. The whole idea is depressing.

Rizzo did legitimately beat Monson less than a year ago, so he apparently still has some gas left in the tank. I definitely don't think Ken could've done that.

Yes, he does. I think that will be brutal.

Is it just me, or could these fights have been a lot more interesting if they had matched better fighters together? How about Barnett vs. Lashley? Or Daley vs. Karo?

Agreed. I don't need to see Karo and Daley squash cans.

Karo needs a warm up though. He has been on the shelf a long time.

Rizzo is going to kill Ken.

Some decent stuff to keep us busy until August, we need some filler.

Forgot this shit was on last night too

Barnett beat Brazilian heavyweight Geronimo "Mondragon" Dos Santos, a fighter who had built up a little bit of hype by beating UFC vet Assuerio Silva last October, although he'd gone 3-3 since that fight -- before losing to Barnett. Barnett won via TKO from the mounted position at 2:45 of the first round.

Parisyan struggled with Ben Mortimer before getting a rear naked choke in the second round. After the fight, Karo said he'd never been hit as hard before.

Other well known fighters on the card picked up wins as well, including Sokoudjou who beat Joaquim Ferreira (the owner of the only win over UFC heavyweight title contender Junior Dos Santos) in the first round. Jeff Monson took a decision over Bira Lima and Brian Ebersole beat Carlos Newton via decision.
