Benavidez vs. Wineland: If there ever was a 10-10 round, it’s the certainly the first frame of this 135 pound collision. Both men landed significant shots, shared a similar amount of time in control and ultimately dished out relatively equal damage.

Wineland may possibly be behind on the cards, but it’s not by much heading into the second round. Another five minutes of extremely competitive action unfolds, and the only deciding factor of the round is Benavidez’s aggression.

The final five minutes get under way and it’s Benavidez acting the aggressor, landing solid shots, clearly edging wineland. As the clock ticks away Wineland comes to life, pushing hard for a finish, but it’s a tad little too late. The judges award joseph Benavidez the decision victory.

Hamman vs. Dollaway: The first five minutes of this bout featured plenty of close exchanges and quick scrambles. After five minutes Dollaway looks to have a slight edge in athleticism.

As the second round starts however, Jared Hamman drastically changes the tides on C.B. Dollaway, firing off a plethora of punches to a retreating Dollaway. Dollaway is in big trouble, as Hamman swarms. Little resistance from Dollaway prompts an appropriate referee stoppage around the 3:30 mark.

Ludwig vs. Sadollah: At this point in his career, Amir Sadollah has generally looked to be the superior striker inside the octagon, regardless of his opponent. Former kickboxer, Duane Ludwig however changed all that on Saturday night.

From the opening of this featured fifteen minute main event, “Bang” Ludwig made his dominance known, landing the harder strikes, and mixing up his combinations frequently. Sadollah never seemed to gain a solid foothold, and fell behind on the score cards early after Duane easily controlled the first ten minutes of the fight.

Ludwig looked to slow as the fight progressed, but Amir didn’t look to have too much left in the gas tank himself. Though Amir was able to steal the final round, it was far too late to convince the judges of a victory. Duane Ludwig exits the cage after winning his second consecutive bout inside the octagon.

Cerrone vs. Oliviera: While Charles Oliviera may be a promising athlete with a high ceiling, he just couldn’t match the offensive output of “The Cowboy” Donald Cerrone. Cerrone was the more precise of the two and utilized a noticeable strength advantage to bully “do Bronx”. Cerrone unleashed a series of strikes that left Oliviera covering up, and referee Mario Yamasaki stepping in to call a halt to the bout.

Miller vs. Henderson: If you’re a fan of technical action, this was a dream fight. If you feel closely contested bouts with plenty of grappling are “boring”, you may not have been impressed by this incredible showcase.

Jim Miller was expected to come out, dispose of Ben Henderson, and take one step closer to his inevitable title shot. Someone forgot to tell Ben.

Henderson worked fast and furiously at Miller, punishing him with strikes, multiple takedowns, positional control and plenty of submission attempts. Startlingly, Jim was never really even in the fight.

The dominant performance from Henderson places him right in the title mix at lightweight, despite only having fought twice for the promotion; disposing of the number three lightweight certainly makes a massive statement.
