Lightweight bout: Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim Barboza defeated Etim via KO (wheel kick) at 2:02 of round 3.
Amazing spinning wheel kick....
Welterweight bout: Erick Silva vs. Carlo Prater Prater defeated Silva via disqualification (illegal blows to back of head) at 0:29 of round 1.
I thought it was a BS call by Mario Yamasaki... While unprofessional
Middleweight bout: Rousimar Palhares vs. Mike Massenzio Palhares defeated Massenzio via submission (heel hook) at 1:03 of round 1.
I called this ending...great sub, happy for Palhares
Catchweight (197 lb) bout: Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson Belfort defeated Johnson via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:49 of round 1.
Was surprised at how aggressive Johnson was....expected Vitor to KO, but sub was nice surprise..
Featherweight Championship: José Aldo (c) vs. Chad Mendes Aldo defeated Mendes via KO (knee and punches) at 4:59 of round 1 to retain the UFC Featherweight Championship.
Finally! Aldo with a highlight reel KO in the UFC
Great night of fights....including the prelims which I watched on FX instead of FB...
I thought it was a BS call by Mario Yamasaki... While unprofessional, I liked that Joe Rogan put him on the spot after the fight
