Pretty much what St. Paul Guy said. Still, he seems to be a completely different fighter at 145. He found a home and I expect him to be on the main card soon if he keeps fighting the way he has been recently. The winner of this fight should be getting a big push in my opinion. I'm leaning toward Lentz, but I expect Hacran to make this competitive.

Not sure why Mulhall keeps standing them up. Formiga is obviously working for position and mostly succeeding, but any chance he takes to rest even for a few seconds in the guard, they are stood up.

Think that might be a 10-7 round for Lineker?

Wow, such a good performance from Lineker. I knew he had Azamat hurt with that kick to the body. Azamat's face said it all. He showed a decent chin though. Lineker caught him so many times.

Aw man, spinning kick to the nuts. Not cool. Haha at them calling for a doctor at first. Still, I could almost feel that one.

Roger gets an easy take down. I hope this isn't the story of the fight.

Fabio needs to work on that obvious flaw in his game. Roger was getting take downs far too easily in the first round.

Roger's take down attempts were getting sloppy in the second round, and Fabio seemed to be hurting him with those body punches in the clinch. They both need to turn it up in the third round. It's still either guys fight to win.

I'm glad that Fabio got the decision win, but he didn't look too impressive either.
