Tuned in to see the main card.
Sobotta and Edwards fought an uneventful bout, Edwards turned it up as Sobotta just sorta ended up on bottom and Edwards got the "stoppage" with 1 second left. Unremarkable. Edwards would then predictably call out Till after that but Edwards will get obliterated if he fights the way he did last night against Till.
Ware vs Duquesnoy: the weight cut seemed to take the pep outta Duquesnoy's step in rounds 2 and 3. Had Ware pressed with some takedowns instead of passable standup he could've taken a decision pretty handily.
Blachowicz vs Manuwa
I didn't expect much from this rematch but Manuwa made it one by having not evolved at all and Blachowicz has made some legitimate strides. Blachowicz landed some solid combos that hurt Manuwa and combined with some well-timed takedowns, Manuwa's one-dimensional style was effectively exposed. They immediately started talking a third match (shut up commentators and Dan Hardy) and let's let the LHW division move forward as DC is now moved up for a HW title shot and Gustaffson and Oezdemir and others are all sitting around ready to brawl.
Volkov landed some flurries to Werdum's forearms at times, but looked completely beatable as an opponent. Werdum never kicked it into high gear to put Volkov and ultimately paid the price for not putting him away, by getting clipped by a combo and then finished in the 4th round.
