*Lineker is one pound over, has two hours to make weight
 
Just FYI - Lineker was advised shortly thereafter not to cut weight and take the fine instead by NJ's Athletic Commission doctor, so that's what's happened. $1200 goes to Doink hair :D
 
Looking for opinions as I've seen differing opinions from MMA journalists. I scored the Hendricks/Koscheck fight 29-28 for Hendricks. I gave the first round to Koscheck and the second and third rounds to Hendricks.

I know that Koscheck got the takedown with around two minutes left, but he didn't do a lot after getting on top. Meanwhile I found that Hendricks rocked Koscheck a couple of times and controlled the better part of the round.

How did you score the fight, and the third round in particular?
 
As is the norm a Diaz brother wins without class. He's gotta be next in line unless Frankie beats Bendo in the rematch necessitating a rubber match.
 
Bonuses were 65K: Fight of the Night - Gaudinot/Lineker, Submission of the Night - Nate Diaz, and Knockout of the Night - Lavar Johnson
 
The atmosphere was pretty good last night. The crowd was pretty dead until the Dodson fight. There were a lot of empty seats in the arena, so I don't see the UFC returning to Jersey anytime soon.

Jon Bones Jones gets a big A+ last night. Between fights the dude didnt sit down at all. He was all over the floor posing for pictures and signing autographs. Kind of hard to figure out why he was booed so much.

They're going to Atlantic City in June. And with regards to Jones, haters are going to hate.
