A preliminary card stocking the cattle to run a main card, spoke for it self as to why it could have been!
Diego Brandao V Daniel Pineda
If wrist wraps contained adrenalin then Diego Brandao and Daniel Pineda weren't on tight enough at all, kicking things of in explosive fashion, round 1 was all to the credit of Brandao who unloaded more energy to continuously land with charge even with Pineda striving forward emptying his own gas tank. Round 2 the dump had started to come in for Brandao first with Pineda evening the cards up to control the round. Round 3 was a confusion?? was it featherweights or heavyweights in the octagon! Brando landed 5/6 takedowns as two extremely exhausted 145's hung in and hung to each other to grind out the clock.
Brandao Took a hard fought UD Win.
Mike Brown V Steven Siler
With over 50 pro fights between them, WEC veteran Mike Brown had changed his camp and opened his arsenal up to learning new tricks, with solid work on his boxing leading up to facing Steven Siler.
All the hard work of Brown was squashed and the curtain was pulled down just 50 seconds into Round 1,
Brown pushed forward as Siler landed an uppercut that put Brown to the ground, Siler with plenty of experience in the cage loaded up and sent home a right from up high to put brown to sleep.
Siler wins by KO Round 1
Connor McGregor V Max Hollaway
The lights are out in Boston the crowd is erupting not bad for a 2nd appearance in the UFC, Irish prospect Connor McGregor came in with the hype train to face another future star Max Hollaway.
The crowd ovation carried on through out the bout, with round 1 McGregor set the pace that carried through out the fight with a unpredictable creative attack on Hollaway, landing the jab with lead hand along with precise countering.
A gallant Hollaway stood his ground and kept composed among all the hype, getting his attack going was a training camp plan only, he was forced to defend on the ground for majority of the final 5 - 10 mins.
McGregor battled through a Knee injury to UD Win
Michael McDonald V Brad Pickett
Top 10 ranked bantamweights Michael McDonald and Brad Pickett got set to headline the preliminary card, even though they could easily headline a main card of even a Co-main on PPV.
The first 30 seconds proved exactly why! McDonald got of the blocks dropping Pickett twice with a incredible flurry of lefts and rights, the bombs kept coming for the next minute as Pickett was able to slightly weather the storm not without a phew battle scars.
Round 2 kicked of where 1 left of, both fighters pushing forward with aggression until it went to the ground and McDonald cunningly held on to Pickets arm opening his guard to set an arm triangle after some strong submission defence from Pickett the skills of McDonald proved beneficial as he locked in the Triangle Choke forcing the tap.
McDonald Submits Pickett R2
