Josh Neer vs. Din Thomas
Neer wins round 1. Din lands better on feet, but Neer closes distance and gets takedown. Unloads vicious gnp. Din gets back to feet and lands his own takedown. Neer 10-9.

Round 2: Din is exhausted. Round starts with a slug fest. Neer gets takedown, but Din gets his back. Josh escapes. Neer lands another takedown with more groundNpound. Neer ends roundd with flurry. 10-9 Neer

Round 3: More of the same. Neer takes him down and absolutely unloads with groundNpound. Neer cuts Din and Herb Dean has the cut checked. Doctor lets it go. Round ends with Neer letting Din up to have a 15 second slugfest. 10-9 Neer. I have it 30-27 and so do judges. Neer wins same score and earns unanimous decision.

Re: UFC Fight Night 13 Undercard

How did Clay Guida go from an exciting main event match vs Huerta to an un-televised undercard?

Re: UFC Fight Night 13 Undercard

I think it at least partially has to do with Guida having a poor UFC record...remember that in America record dictates opinion much more than exciting performances. Coming into the fight Guida was sub .500 in the UFC...

Well, it is a sport first and foremost. Winning has to count for something.

Come on now bro. I'm a huge White SOx fan. I could give a shit that they were winning ugly ass games in '05...win ugly, win pretty just win. I was just saying that in Japan being exciting will keep you on the main card (generally speaking) but in America you gotta get your wins.

Re: UFC Fight Night 13 Undercard

His overall record isn't bad (22-6), which is I think better than Heath Herring (28-13). I just think it was a really fast drop.

Re: UFC Fight Night 13 Undercard

I totally agree with you. The only sensible reason is that this card was stacked especially compared to a british ufc. They must of thought that this may end up being a short, less than exciting, and one sided fight possible with clay walking through the opponent. Or that Guida himself might get trampled. Cos you know some people dont get back from a big lose. Who knows.

I would argue that the fight between Guida & Huerta was heaps more exciting than Liddel v Silva. Sorry Chuck I still love ya now go pound out Rashad 'Nappy Head Ho' Evans.
