With Alessio out, will Randy still be there to corner Pyle?
There were some problems at the weigh-ins:
The Solomon Hutcherson vs. Amir Rahnavardi fight is off, Hutcherson didn't have a passport.
Fabian Cortez and Juan Barrantes, scheduled to fight at 145, both weighed in at 147.5. Keith Crawford, CEO of HCF, in an aggressive and humorous display of quick thinking, negotiated with both managers and the commission on the spot, allowing the fight to happen without delay.
Gerard Mousasi, facing Evangelista Santos, nearly missed weight. He thought the fights were tomorrow, not tonight, and was 5 pounds over. But he made weight (194.5) right at the 8 PM cutoff.
Results (from Sherdog):
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (206) vs. Todd Gouwenberg (204.5)
Gegard Mousasi (194.5) vs. Evangelista Santos (188.5)-Catch-weight 194 lbs.
Thomas Schulte (155) vs. Garett Davis (155)
David Loiseau (193) vs. Jason Day (194.5)
Brendan Seguin (170) vs. Derrick Noble (170)
Damir Mirenic (169) vs. Mike Pyle (171)
Andrew Buckland (185) vs. Dan Chambers (185)
Myles Merola (156) vs. Ariel Sexton (155.5)
Tim Hague (262.5) vs. Miodrag Petkovic (253)
Nabil Khatib (185.5) vs. Lucas Rota (184.5)
Fabian Cortez (147.5) vs. Juan Barrantes (147.5)

Noble had a sick KO.
The Crow got completely robbed, he easily won rounds 1 and 3, and debatably 2 yet still somehow lost a splitter.
Mousasi crushed Cyborg, who in turn was pissed about the result after the ref stopped mosassi from reinging down punches from sidemount ala hughes penn 2 for like 20 seconds... he kept punching his own head after to prove he was fine and that they where all forehead punches.
Lil Nog came out very tentative and not totally willing to trade. He took and got taken down to end a tough-to-call round 1. He cut Todd early in the second, and as soon as todd touched his eye nog lit him up and totally dummied him. The ref stopped it but he was basically out on his feet.
Pyle got a nice finish, but I felt bad for him cause everyone was cheering for couture after he won... speaking of couture, i got a shitty picture of him announcing the winner of the 50/50 draw lol.
There was one undercard fight that was just amazing, and another where a guy got his arm or shoulder broken.
How many people would you say were there?
