If anything either Hershel/Lashley should have been in the preliminaries. That sure is a shitty way of doing business.

I don't blame lash or Hersh cuz to me it looked like they could have fit another fight on that card. So much time in between fights it seemed. So much wasted time...

They need to get their production a little tighter.

But yea, you make a great point. Now when they sign that fight, people will be like who the hell is Hieron? They should have set that up a little better.

Lash, Cyborg and Diaz's fight all ended in the first. That automatically makes room for another fight?

I find it weird and I am starting to think that Coker wants Hieron off TV until he signs a couple fight deal with Strikeforce.

Look at Strikeforce Carano vs Cyborg, the undercard had Hieron and they didn't air the fight, but they did air other fights on the undercard like Scott Lighty and in the Strikeforce event previous to that Lawler vs Shields, they put Tyron Woodley which was on the undercard on TV.

It's either something against Hieron, which I kind of doubt looking over all the fights.

They do like the UFC and seem to air the fights that end in KOs or TKOs or submissions, but if the fight is a prelim and goes to the scorecards they don't show it on the main card.

I am kinda upset, I like Hieron, but that is 2 decisions in a row for Hieron and 3 in his last 4 fights. I don't mind decisions, especially if they are high action or even if they are complete blowouts. But casual fans usually hate most decisions....and I am sure that the UFC brass in charge of giving fighters contracts, don't like decisions either.

For all we know, the Hieron vs Riggs fight was sold to EA as an exclusive fight....who knows...

Damn my memory must really suck. For some reason I thought the Cyborg fight ended in the 2nd. Damn I gotta get off these narcs.

WHOAH....that's crazy talk. Maybe you were just thinking the fight was using Pride timekeepers.....you know 10 min first round 5 min 2nd round......then it would have only been 2 rounds.

I thought it ended at 13:40 of the first round.
