Darren Uyenoyama vs. Alptekin Ozkilic

Uyenoyama is so far out of his depth as a striker.

One of these days I'll make it through an entire prelim stream without any technical difficulties. Today is not that day.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) December 14, 2013

If Uyenoyama would just quit pulling guard, he'd be winning this fight. He's getting the better of most stand-up exchanges

Abel Trujillo vs. Roger Bowling

According to Goldberg, that was a good stoppage. That was a poor stoppage. Took far too long.

— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) December 14, 2013

Abel Trujillo just put the wood to Roger Bowling. That was violent. That was just a mauling. #UFConFox9

Blackzilians win again. @AbelTrujillo1

Sam Stout vs. Cody McKenzie

Everyone pretending Cody McKenzie isn't about to test positive for MD 20/20

— pdl (@pdlmma) December 14, 2013

I hate Sam Stout's point fighting style. He's pretty much the worst. I'd say X Pac heat, but people at least knew who X Pac was.

Has anyone ever met Cody McKenzie's trainers? Do they exist? Or were they dead the whole time? #UFConFox9MeetsSixthSenseReferences

Scott Jorgensen vs. Zach Makovsky

Wait you mean a former @BellatorMMA guy beats a @ufc Top 10 guy!!! Impossible :) :)

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) December 14, 2013

Great fight, makivsky won.30-27 doesn't paint the picture though. Close fight, enjoyable technical match. Bright future for makovsky Im sure

— michael (@bisping) December 14, 2013

Those former RFA guys are looking good in the UFC. It's the guys that come directly from Bellator that struggle.

— Matthew Roth (@MattRoth512) December 14, 2013

At UFC 155, I asked Uncle Dana if the UFC would sign Makovsky. Said he didn't know who that was. He might know now. Impressive debut.

— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) December 14, 2013

Jorgensen ran back to the locker room after leaving the cage.

Bobby Green vs. Pat Healy

Stellar performance by Bob Green. Healy fought to make him wither and wilt. He refused, kept zinging hard, fast counters and earned it tuff.

— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 15, 2013

Bobby Green wins the unanimous decision. If only Healy had seven more rounds to work, he might have turned things around.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) December 15, 2013

damn, fun fight and Bobby Green, yo!!

— E. Casey Leydon (@ekc) December 15, 2013

I'm pretty sure Pat Healy's chin is made of some indestructible, rare earth metal. The guy can take a shot. #UFC #MMA

Danny Castillo vs. Edson Barboza

One judge scored it right

— Dana White (@danawhite) December 15, 2013

Court McGee vs. Ryan LaFlare

If you don't think Ben Askren would humiliate either of these fighters, you are out of your mind. Humiliate.

— Mike Riordan (@coachmjr) December 15, 2013

I'm pretty sure I just saw @DamonMartin just legit nod off. He's about to start streaming SOA on Netflix.
