Well, sort of. The fight already happened on Tarheel time so I'm watching the replay while I help my girlfriend make dinner. Wasn't too wowed by Ross Pearson's win. Too many Brits, not enough jits! Sounds like one of the Beatles in his post-fight interview.
Whoa, Nate Quarry can take a beating. Talk about being saved by the bell...but Round 2 picks up right where Round 1 left off. I didn't expect that! Tough loss for Quarry, in every sense of the word.
Now it's time for Roy Nelson vs Stefan Struve; what my friend Tad has dubbed the "Big & Tall match". I looked up Struve online to make sure I spelled his name right & accidentally found out what happened. Hey what the hell, was there a blackout or something? I went to get a corkscrew & they were on the next fight.
Now for Uno vs Tibau. Well that was quick. Tibau looks like a contender.
Aha, so there was a blackout! Ok now "Skyscraper" Struve vs "Big Country" Nelson is back on. These two look like Laurel & Hardy in boarsdhorts. Struve is sooo much taller than Nelson. And Nelson racks up another KO. My girlfriend says he looks like a guy who won a local contest to be in the UFC. Little does she know that's exactly what he did!
It's the main event. I'm pulling for Gomi because I want to see a rematch with BJ. Round 1 to KenFlo since he landed just about every jab he threw. Round 2 & Gomi looks t-i-r-e-d. Round 3 & just when Gomi is starting to land a few, Florian takes him down. Gomi pulls guard & is looking to stand back up but Florian is looking for the arm triangle. Uh oh, Florian has full mount. Gomi gives up his back. There's the RNC! Gomi taps. Jeez, that was the only groundwork we've seen all night. I suspect Zuffa intentionally booked stand-up guys in deference to the crowd at Bojangles Coliseum.
All in all a decent Fight Night, I suppose. Better than most...
