Cung Le
He dominated this fight, but he clearly faded in the third round.  He was sucking gas and he was allowing Smith to close the distance when he clearly shouldn’t have.  He just didn’t have the energy to keep Smith on the outside.  Smith’s only shot at winning was on the inside, and he did manage to tag Le with shots in earlier rounds.  Le’s face showed Smith’s success...

bitchface: I was almost certain Melendez/Thompson had fight of the night for me. Probably still do.

Rocky Balboa
If there were any living embodiment of Rocky Balboa, most MMA fans will tell you without hesitation that it is Rodrigo Minotauro.  Hell, I might say that as well.  But let’s consider the following: Minotauro is actually really, really good.  Yes, he takes an inordinate and unnecessary amount of punishment for someone who is so good, but no one doubts that he is world class.  He was the...
