    The MJ/Dariush decision was a head-scratcher

    Yah, that was an absurd decision.

    A few thoughts...

    Sarah McMann took a good shot but overall looked like she didn't want to be hit and the choke happened easily after that.

    Tim Johnson fought a dumb fight and could've won had he a) not gone for takedowns, b) not tried to take the back, and c) continued punching late in the third instead of shooting.

    Dunno if the Bruson/Alvey stoppage was early. Alvey was getting battered.

    From what I recall MJ easily took the first round and probably the second against Dariush but let up a little as the fight went on. Can't do that.

    Glover weathered the early storm against OSP and gutted out the win. Great performance.
