Had nothing to do with the show itself, of course. I'm happy that Matt Riddle won his debut even though it was by decision. He had a few submission attempts, and Rivera was pretty hurt after that second round so it looked good for him either way. Fioravanti did a good job of not dying in the fight, but aside from a few shots here and there, he didn't have enough offense to do anything but stall the TKO from Sanchez. I'm excited for Amir as he has good personality and the kid can take a beating! He still looks small for a 185'er, so hopefully he drops to 170 where he'll have a better change of being a contender with his smaller frame. Dollaway tried to pull off a slick "I tapped but I didn't tap" move to get Amir to release the armbar. I don't blame him for trying, but with the ref right there, you can't pull that off. Overall, it was a good night of fights! Definitely a good finale show…the only fight complaint was the fact that Evan Tanner lost to a very sloppy Kendall Grove.

I’m excited for Amir as he has good personality and the kid can take a beating! He still looks small for a 185′er, so hopefully he drops to 170 where he’ll have a better change of being a contender with his smaller frame. Dollaway tried to pull off a slick “I tapped but I didn’t tap” move to get Amir to release the armbar. I don’t blame him for trying, but with the ref right there, you can’t pull that off.

Overall, it was a good night of fights!
