Fight Results and Recap
UFC Betting Review:
It was a night of KO’s as the UFC pay per view was a stacked heavyweight card and the heavyweights put on a show as 4 out of the 5 heavyweight fights resulted in KO’s.
The opening fight between Lavar Johnson and the sky scraper Stefan Struve was a quick submission victory as Struve was able to arm bar Johnson in just 51 seconds in the fight.
The next fight between Shane del Rosario and Stipe Miocic where Miocic just unleashed numerious hammer fists before the referee Yves Lavigne pulls Miocic off a beaten del Rosario.
Next up was a fight between Big Country Roy Nelson and Dave Herman and Nelson lands a huge overhand right that’s lands and Herman goes down like a sack of potaotos and Nelson goes in for the kill, but referee Steve Mazzagatti stops the fight at 51 seconds into the fight.
Cain Velasquez then faced the debut of Big Foot Antonio Silva and right off the bat Velasquez gets a takedown and into half-guard, where he cuts Silva’s nose open with an elbow with a nasty cut. From half guard Velasquez continues to punish Silva before Josh Rosenthal stops the fight at 3:36 of the first round.
