    Moose and Storm have over 100 fights combined. Should be a tactical affair.

    Dr. Harleen Quinzel aka Heather Hardy has her second pro fight against debuting Kristina Williams.

    Not a whole lot else going on with that card.

    Not sure how much his eye hurt his depth perception, but that fight was much closer for Mousasi than I was expecting heading in. Kind of thought Gegard would roll over Shlemenko a little easier then that.

    Williams definitely had the performance of the fight. She demolished Hardy with her kickboxing.

    I used to not be a huge fan of Mauro Ranallo, but after his stint with the WWE and now with Bellator I really like his announcing style.

    Also, call me a sexist if you want, but I had a totally different feeling when Hardy's nose was broke compared to when Couture broke Gonzaga's nose. When Gonzaga's was broken I was like "what a warrior to continue on." When Hardy's broke like that I was like "this needs to be stopped."

    GSP said he doesn't like female MMA for the same reason. I think it is natural but something that can be overcome.

    Shlemenko and his team has decided to appeal the decision. I could be wrong, but to my knowledge no American athletic commission has ever reversed the judges decision. Seems like a losing effort to me. Plus, I felt Gegard won both the 1st and 2nd rounds. It certainly was not a robbery of Shlemenko to me.

    A waste of energy. Not sure what they hope to accomplish. The commission will never overturn the decision unless there was a miscount or proven professional misconduct by one of their people.
