With the passing of the weekend came shocking endings to multiple fights. Two nights filled with thrilling MMA action were delivered to us in the forms of UFC 101 and WEC 42.
Saturday: 101’s card was near custom-tailored for a fan like myself who enjoys plenty of grappling mixed in with striker vs. striker bouts.
