Zak Woods at Watch Kalib Run has a full write-up of the show:

The main event was a light heavyweight bout between Antwain Britt and Antonio Mendes. Shine hyped the fight by quoting a Sherdog article that said this fight was one of the top-ten fights to watch in the month of May. For the spectators if you weren't paying close attention you may of missed the fight since it was over in eight seconds. Antwain Britt bull rushed Antonio Mendes, as Mendes backed into the cage he was caught flush with a right hand and fell unconscious.

. . .

There was some controversy that many casual fans missed. During the Marcus Reynolds Brad Harris fight, Harris had Reynolds back with under hooks in. For some reason the referee broke the fighters and had them stand. Easily the worst call by a referee in some time considering that Harris was in a dominant position. After the stand up Reynolds landed a left hook which rocked Harris at the end of the first round. Brad Harris was not the same fighter after that punch and would take several more shots in the second round before being defeated.

Woah

8 seconds? This guy is going places.

Keep firing Assholes!

This is a dream competition for me. I drink as much coffee as I want, and eventually I hallucinate.

It’s really kind of crazy that someone would call their fight promotion “Shine Fights”. That’s racist.

I’m glad I’m not the only person that thought this. I was worried someone was going to hear my thoughts, and call me a racist. That would be extra bad, because unfortunately, none of my best friends happen to be black.

Also, the Portuguese language/Brazilians need(s) better MMA terminology. An arm-triangle is a katagatame, but brabos and anacondas (nevermind them being separate moves to start with) are both “triângulo de mão,” literally “hand triangle.” I demand a Brazilian MMA summit to address these annoying trivialities.

It’s run by two black fighters, so I’m guessing the double meaning was intentional? “Shine” is a pretty obscure racial epithet.

And Breen, I know just the guy to officiate over that summit…

Wasn’t Baker on the Jordan Breen show last week talking about how much punishment he can absorb and how it’s impossible for him to get rocked? Between this and the TUF guy getting his teeth kicked out, it was a good week for karma.

Don't worry......

Someone will be along soon to hype up Kyle Baker’s “amazing, never-seen-before” clinch work.

I mean, “standing ground and pound”.

saying that a fighter has an interesting style

doesn’t mean that the guy is a top contender. Baker is fun to watch because he’s pretty unique but he’s always been a mixed proposition at best.
And losing by flash KO tells us very little about a fighter.

"the spirit of your average dumbass with more overblown rhetoric" OR "the self-appointed savior of MMA"
