Gleison Tibau has had good fights before. I don't think you should give up on Gleison/Ferguson yet. """sleeper""" candidate for Fight of the Night award.

Yeah. Gleison could have shrunk because he is getting older and cutting does become harder on the body so dropping some muscle would make sense... but he also has always talked about how easy the cut was to do and with enhanced drug testing looming it's a bit of a coincidence.

UFC in late 2015/2016 is going to be cool.

He wasn't subject to out of competition testing for that fight. I doubt for this fight either.

He's moving up on the cards though and if he fucks around and wins this fight he will be in a fight that'll be the target for OOC testing. Guaranteed. If that's the case then I applaud Gleison + camp for doing the responsible thing and getting a head start on getting off drugs, but since that's a hosed up thing to say until he's proven guilty I'll just assume he's getting old and he's had a lot of trips of cutting 30+ pounds so it might be the end of the Joe Rogan's Favorite Weight Cutting Example era.

T-Ferg again keeps showing real technique on the mat and striking.

I'm not really surprised but drat. His next fight is gonna be very relevant.

I've been a fan since TUF and I want him to do well but he's not that far removed from a too-competitive-for-comfort fight with Danny Castillo. if Tony fights a guy like Bendo or Johnson again he's gonna get beat.

How bout Ferguson vs Michael Johnson?

You can watch UFC on FOX 3 to see this match. It would go the exact same way today since that was the bout where Johnson started turning things around and being a slick striker.

Sorry this is the first time I ever watch the UFC live so I'm kinda used to the stereotype of the boxing 10 count, It's interesting to see how mms treats KOs.

it's safer than boxing. And since you might be wondering: just because a fighter earns a knockdown in MMA does not award them an automatic 10-8 round. Knockdowns are a frequent occurrence in matches, but if you score a couple you probably will get a 10-8 round.

that was my thought too. I mean we all know he's been around since TUF 1 but you don't really think about it until you see that 37 next to his name. He's been around for a long rear end time.

How were all the fights

Quite good. Aside from a weird prelim fight that ended by eye poke & a so-so co-main it would have been a solid choice for card of the year.
