For my results...
7 of 11 of my picks were correct, while none of my predictions for the fights ending were correct (unless you want to count Hominick's win, but I won't because I thought he'd throw more kicks or use them to set up to TKO).
Here are my picks for the end of the card awards...

KO of the Night: Melvin Guilard
Submission of the Night: DeMarques Johnson
Fight of the Night: Barry/Beltran
Upset of the Night: Wiman over Miller
It's be a tie for me ALMOST for UotN. I would vote Yahya over Brown, but I thought Miller's skills were FAR better than Wiman's coming into that fight were as I knew how good both Brown and Yahya were, even there I was surprised and upset over how much Yahya controlled that fight.

This was a fun card, and the free bouts over Facebook were interesting, though often frustrating because of the video lag. I'd tune in though if they put bouts on Facebook again. Overall, the card was a 6. Would've been higher if there weren't so many (sometimes) boring, frustrating decisions (Brown/Yahya, Brenneman/Alves. Lowe/Freire). Looking forward to Guillard & Mitrione's next bouts.

Well atleast we will have a figure to remember Mike Brown by because after this loss he is as good as cut from the UFC.

[CachorroLouco]

I agree with that. Sucks though.. Brown's my fav in that division. At least, once he's cut, he'll get snatched up by Bellator and hopefully get himself together enough to win that tournament and get his foot back in the door of the UFC. Hopefully though... I don't want to see Brown in Strikeforce.
