What went down at Ufc Fight Night 48, and what did we learn?
The Ufc returned to Macau, China today for Ufc Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le, otherwise known as Ufc Fight Night 48. It wasn’t a huge event on paper, but it featured two compelling fights in Michael Bisping vs. Cung Le (a fun fight for the fans) and Tyron Woodley vs. Dong Hyun Kim (a chance to Kim to emerge as a contender, and Woodley to get back into the title picture after a tough loss earlier this Summer to Rory MacDonald).
The rest of the card was underwhelming at best on paper, but as we’ve learned in the past, cards that look weak on paper can often deliver a lot of surprisingly good action.
A pair of fights went to a (split) decision to open the card, with Elizabeth Phillips dropping her fight to the debuting Russian Milana Dudieva,...

The preliminary card of Ufc 174 started off with a bang Saturday night!
Live from Vancouver, Canada, the Ufc had loaded the preliminary card with local talent, though for a couple of bouts, fighters would be familiar to followers of the Ultimate Fighter reality series. Case in point: Kajan Johnson, a member of team Canada on Tuf Nations who had his jaw obliterated (broken in several places) after a fight with eventual winner Chad Laprise.
Kajan had a ton of good will surrounding him in the Mma community, in part due to the devasting nature of the injury he suffered, and in part because of a coaching contreversy which surrounded his fight on Tuf: Nations Canada vs. Australia. On the show, Canada’s winning ways led to a number of fights between teammates in the cage, which meant the
coaching team had to be split. Johnson wound up with an underpopulated corner,...
