Wow... that ended up being quite an awful event :/ . Glad that Bar?o rightfully won but still... his performance was not good enough to salvage a horrible main card.

Aye. It was quite terrible. I was quite disappointed with nearly all of it. Horrible referee that didn't break up the holds in the heavyweight bout. Seriously, what was that? They weren't doing anything.

Bryan Caraway won FOTN. Bryan "Nervous" Caraway, a guy whose only notable feature is that he regularly bones Miesha Tate. It was THAT bad. Matt Riddle also won a bonus... for submission! And Jimmo finally put someone away.

Dana can say I don't know anything about the sport if I didn't like the main event all he wants. This card was extremely disappointing and I feel time has passed Faber by. He is a Josh Koscheck/ Forest Griffin type contender. He'll probably beat 99% of the guys but he'll never be the champ.

He's not Koscheck, he's Florian. He loses a title shot, drops a weight class. He shot down the idea of going to Flyweight but you never know what the future holds. Chad Mendes is in the same situation. He can beat everyone at FW except Aldo. It's not a career death sentence by any means. If it was, the UFC would have no WW, MW or LHW divisions (or HW...).

Glad I didn't pay to watch this one. From what I've read it was a rather mediocre event. I don't know if it's been confirmed or not but I read that Faber said he broke a rib during the fight?

Yes. Bar?o broke one of his ribs.
