UFC 162: Facebook Undercard

by Dr. Octagon, J.D.

Two good fights on tonight’s Facebook undercard:

David Mitchell vs. Mike Pierce: Pierce is massively underrated. He hasn’t lost in the UFC except for bullshit decisions against tough competition like Johny Hendricks and Josh Koscheck. I thought he probably won both of those fights. But he’s on Facebook because he’s a fucking grinder.

Round 1 looked like it was going to be some classic Mike Pierce cageside slowdance, but in Round 2, Pierce got some separation and unloaded a short left that staggered Mitchell. Pierce then bashed Mitchell’s skull like a drum until the fight was stopped.

Seth Baczynksi vs. Brian Melancon: Melancon staggered Seth with a big left early in the first round. At the very end of the round, Melancon pushed the foot with Seth on his back and fell into Seth’s guard, Fedor-style, landing a huge punch. Melancon followed it up with a few more shots and the ref waved it off after the horn sounded.
