The Dragon made a statement to the rest of the 185ers, Lyoto
Machida did something he hasn’t done in his last 2 fights. FINSIH, Machida did
what Machida does, the fight started with a feeling out process like all of his
fights and he was able to find a split second opening and decided to restart buddy
Mark Munoz’s brain via head kick. Afterwards when being interviewed by Joe
Rogan, he admitted he could waffle again “I’m staying at 185” Machida said but followed
with basically if Dana tells me to go back to 205 I will.
The Co-Main event was a little bit anticlimactic and was
ruled a no contest after a Melvin Guillard used a questionable knee to split
open Ross Pearson’s skull. Post-fight it was announced the 2 would tango again
March 8th in London.
Rightly hyped Light Heavyweight prospect Jimi Manuwa did
what he does best, cause pain and inflict injuries. Ryan Jimmo ate knees and
leg kicks and finally in the 2nd round after eating knee he took a
step back smiled and then dropped to the ground in what can only be described as
his brain caught the rest of his body and decided it was better to not
continue. With the TKO this marks Manuwa’s 5TH straight fight ending
via TKO.
