And if you want to watch a stream take for example this site http://www.viponlinesports.eu/sports/ufc.html or just take this one http://www.viponlinesports.eu/boxing/154597/2/ufc-160:-prelims-only--live-stream-online.html

Edit: and don't take what the commentators say about some fights too seriously as they often have favorites and sometimes really screw up how the fights are actually going

That fight was so stupid.

I enjoyed it. There's something cool about a grappler breaking the will of a tough guy standup fighter. Like Kos v Paul Daley. It was exciting at the beginning then just a clinic in domination at the end. Looked like an old school UFC fight where a rassler just held a guy for the whole fight and they couldn't do anything lol.

I know but Trujillo just didn't fight. He had nothing. It was just a mismatch of styles IMO.
I guess that's kinda like what old school UFC was all about though.

It wasn't just a style mismatch but ranking whise Nurma beat better opponents in at least his last 2 fights.

haha Colton WTF are you doing! He ran in to throw a dumbass kick, easily getting clipped in the process. *facepalm*

Can't believe this guy won TUF.
