UFC 130 Results
There was maybe one person who had a worse night that me when it came to UFC 130. Who? Oh, I’d say maybe Stefan Struve… maybe. Let’s see what made it so bad…

Prediction: Alves wins by decision
Result: Story wins by unanimous decision making me 0-1 for the night.
- Jorge Santiago [23-8] vs. Brian Stann [10-3]

Result: Stann wins by TKO making me 1-1 for the night
- Travis Browne [10-0] vs. Stefan Struve [21-4]

Result: Browne by KO in the first round making me 1-2 for the night
- Frank Mir [14-5] vs. Roy Nelson [15-5]

- Matt Hamill [10-2] vs. Quinton Jackson [31-8]

Final Thoughts:
- Rick Story is a tough kid who just won’t quit!
- Brian Stann has a great future ahead of him.
- Stefan Struve got KO’d!
- I wish Mir could have ended the fight against Nelson. Unfortunately, Nelson was tough enough to hang in but not in shape enough to make it really competitive.
- Hamill fought a dumb fight. I thought he’d have tried to stay on the outside of Jackson and just keep kicking and punching. Instead, Hamill continued to shoot for takedowns [which Jackson easily stuffed] and then would get clocked each time he tried to disengage.
- Bring on Caine vs Do Santos!
