UFC 163 Undercard Recap

by Dr. Octagon, J.D.

Anthony Perosh def. Vinny Magalahes via KO, 0:14 of Round 1

Vinny’s suspect chin came back to haunt him again, as he walked directly into the Perosh’s short right. Another ten punches later and referee Yamasaki stopped it.

Vinny said before the fight that he should be cut from the UFC if he loses. It’s a shame, because he can be really exciting, but he just got his ass smoked by a 40-year-old on his home turf. This was supposed to be a pretty easy matchup for him.

Amanda Nunes def. Sheila Gaff via TKO (elbows), 2:08 of Round 1

Nunes took the fight to the ground quickly and punished the German with vicious ground and pound.

Sergio Moraes def. Neil Magny via submission (triangle choke), 3:13 of Round 1

Moraes took the fight to the ground quickly, passed with ease, and finished it with a triangle choke, spiced up with a few elbows to the dome.

Ian McCall def. Iliarde Santos via unanimous decision (30-27 x2, 29-28)

Really exciting fight. Tons of action. Like elves at Christmastime, the little guys have really been delivering. McCall outclassed Santos. Good to see him get a win.

Rani Yahya def. Josh Clopton via unanimous decision (29-28 x 3)

Francimar Barroso def. Ednaldo Oliveira via unanimous decision (30-27 x2, 29-28)

This fight stunk and both guys were gassed at the end.

Viscardi Andrade def. Bristol Marunde via TKO, 1:36 of round 1

Marunde got blasted early on with a right and Andrade never let him recover, hitting him with a huge left and then swarming for the finish.
