After his fight with Vitali Klitschko, Dereck Chisora got into it with fellow boxer David Haye at the post fight presser. They exchanged barbs at first, but it soon degenerated into an all out bare-knuckle brawl between the two professional fighters. Bottles came into play, death threats were uttered… Basically, a good time had by all.

Sorry for the delay everyone, this Wednesday event had me scrambling a bit to catch up. All things considered though, I thought this was a great event. Ivan Menjivar kicked off the main card with a very impressive performance, battering John Albert with strikes and finishing him by rear-naked choke in the very first round. Dillashaw executed the perfect gameplan, smothering Watson and fending off all submission attempts for a very one-sided 30-25 unanimous decision. De Fries came out swinging, catching a surprised Miocic with a big right hand followed by a quick flurry. Miocic being the superior striker seemed upset by that, and he responded up with a vicious barrage of his own, forcing the referee to pull him off De Fries who was absorbing unanswered punches in the turtle position. Ronny Markes just barely edged out Aaron Simpson in a very close and grueling fight, netting him the split decision victory. Struve battled back from a very tough first round, and he really came to life in the 2nd, dropping Herman with a big uppercut, and finishing him with punches from the mount. Sanchez absorbed a ton of punishment against Ellenberger in the first two rounds, but he was able to battle his way back in the 3rd. Sadly, the bout was only scheduled for three rounds and Sanchez came up a day late and a dollar short in what turned out to be an amazing scrap. After the fight, Dana White announced that all main event fights will be five rounds from now on.

Leading our camp for this event was Falcons84 who busted out his biggest score ever on the playground with 83 points, great job Falcons84! Coming in 2nd place was TH3SH3PH3RD who posted his highest score ever last time out, and broke his own record again in consecutive events. robnashville returns to form in this event, placing 3rd in our camp with a very respectable 72 points. dan-o1 is just 3 points behind at 4th place, and chitown97 rounds out the top 5 just one point behind him.

Honorable Mention: It’s almost unthinkable, but ONCE AGAIN, botl435 completely outstrips everyone on the playground in wagers, placing first for the 2nd time this season, and making the top 3 four times. He is also the current overall wagers leader for the entire playground.  You sir, are the man.

Our overall points leader is Falcons84! He was tied for 1st place after our last event, and with his great score on Wednesday night, he managed to create a 41 point lead for himself, outstanding! houks edges out bvrasp by a single point, and they switch for 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Previously tied for 1st place, TeamMassacre230 drops back to 4th… and I don’t think he’s happy about it. And finally, overall wagers leader botl435 leapfrogs ferdayz and Tripp_2 to settle into the 5th place spot.
