Just think Bowling has a lot more potential and is the better fighter. Voelker is already 32 and I don't see the skill set there to ever really amount to anything special

good tdd, gets off the mat nicely when he is taken down, good offensive skills, with good power. Striking defense seems to be his biggest weakness, but that has been offset thus far by a superior chin. Fought very smart tonight as well, stayed composed, let the Bowling frenzy calm down, and then took him out. Has worked in 2 of the 3 matchups thus far, and very well may have done the same in the first fight if not for the eye poke.

Maybe he never amounts to anything more then an entertaining action brawler, but I try my best to not talk those kind of guys down.

Good card.

I usually defend Mazzagatti, because i don't think he makes any more mistakes that most refs who don't get shit on all the time...but he fucked up in the Amagov-Stallings fight. That fight should have been a draw. Not only was Amagov caught grabbing the cage 4-5 times, his fence clenching stopped one or two takedowns in the third round, and interfered with a submission attempt in the second. He should have been docked a point. Otherwise, not really impressed with Amagov. Strikeforce Challengers has had a few of these flash kickers.

Great performance by Kaufman. Dominating. I think she'll get that belt back from Marloes or Miesha.

Cole-Jordan..ZzZzZ

Nice KO by OSP.

I think Voelker is ready for a bigger WW fight. Maybe against the Tarec-Smith winner. I would not count him out eithier. He's tough.

Agree with B in that Bowling has more potential in the long run, but I think he's got some Pete Sell in him.

With ya Kings, my first thought after Sarahs fight was she'll beat either Marloes or Meisha.

Nice finish but Voelker just really isn't that good and Bowling actually has potential

you know after the first round i thought Bowling would come out and keep that shit up until he went in there and went for the takedown? i was like WTF man keep it standing where you've been DOMINATING
