If you're a fan of mixed martial arts (MMA), Boxing or just combat sports in general, there wasn't a whole lot to complain about this past weekend (March 23-25), no matter how much individual tastes may vary.
That's because there was a little bit of everything, starting (and ending) with The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) series on Friday and Sunday night. To find out what happened on "Live" season 15 as well as "Brazil," head over to our weekend results wrap-up right here.
Now, let's get down to business.
Bellator kept on trucking this weekend and Thiago Santos getting bounced from the Heavyweight tournament (thankfully) wasn't the big story coming out of the Laredo Energy Center. I'm talking, of course, about Lloyd Woodard's bone-crunching submission over Patricky Freire, as well as Rick Hawn's brutal finish over Ricardo Tirloni.
Not to be outdone, BAMMA 9 tore up the International scene across the pond on Saturday night, where Tom Watson finished off Jack Marshman in the second round via technical knockout. ROAD FC and RUFF also did their thing on the Asian front, with our own James Goyder representing.
Still not enough?
Kimbo Slice continued to pad his record as a pugilist after pasting Brian Green at "Fight Night" in Missouri. But he wasn't making the Boxing headlines this morning, as Danny Garcia outlasted Erik Morales for the super lightweight title on Saturday night in Houston.
After the jump, all the links you need to get caught up on (or relive) this weekend's festivities.
