Usman put on a total snoozer then tried to cut a wrestling promo and wisely called out Covington. Frevola came in a bit over amped and chin up and paid the price. Krause used his wrestling and top game to gut out a decision and with a sweet flying armbar attempt to boot. 
Darren Elkins stole the show for me. I was betting Johnson would fade after round one as he has against others and an ill-advised turtle position half scramble led to his back taken and RNC'd.
Stephens vs Choi wasn't the instant bloodfest bonanza classic UFC brass was hoping for but it was a violent stoppage for the HL reels. Stephens will probably never compile the consistency for a title shot but hey, not everyone does in the fight game. This weekend we have two title fights (are you out there listening gypsy MMA curse demon?). The HW and LhW belts are on the line. Solid weekend ahead with Bellator unadvisedly going toe to toe with the UFC's title doubleheader.
