You're forgetting Yves Lavigne, who might I add, rules.
As for the fight between Sene/Rivera, I wasn't impressed by either guy. Dante laid and gay'd to a win, humping Sene against the fence. Dante talks a big game, but I think if it was Riddle he was fighting, he would have lost.
Sene had pretty good takedown defense, and he listened to his coaches really well, especially in the clinch. He escaped sloppy submission attempts, and punished Dante in close quarters. You can really tell the knees to the body and legs wore Rivera out after the first round.
If I had to pick a winner, I'd say Sene should have been victorious. If you can take a guy down, and lay on him, and just eat punches and elbows, I really don't call that "controlling" the fight at all. Dante was hardly even striking, he was just looking for submissions and going nowhere with them. Sene looked better than Rivera, but he still wouldn't be my prospect to win the show.
As for May/Brown? I'm really excited for this fight. I love grudge matches, but at the same time, you have to laugh at how Brown is taking it so seriously.. it's just ****ing tobacco!
I really think that May is overestimating his stand-up, because he throws his punches way too "loopy" and he has a tendency to drop his hands and keep his head straight-up in the air. Seeing as there are two fights next episode, I predict that Brown knocks May out in the first.
