Take an afternoon nap after UFC Macao (I'll need one), then get right back here for a pretty solid Tulsa card. 

We've got one Fight Pass prelim at 730pm ET, followed by four prelims on FS2, then the six-fight main card on FS1.

I've seen so many bar fights that were more technical than that round. Lazaro's striking is about as graceful as someone having a seizure.

Damn. 10-9 Vick cuz he stanked him and herc'd him. But still very close. Vick needs to tuck that chin.

I think Vick won both rounds, but R2 more clearly, no? I mean, does a takedown really steal you a round when you do so little with it?

This fight is so nontechnical. For someone who "boxes", you'd think he can put some good combos together with decent hooks.

vick is able to stay out of harm's way it seems by leaning away and getting his arms and that reach of his to keep him out of range. Even still, not tucking his chin will cost him sooner or later. I believe he got knocked out on TUF that way.

I've never seen Lazaro fight, but for someone that trains out of Nova Uniao, I expected him to have much better standup. Not very technical at all. I mean, I've come to expect this type of fight from Vick. But not a Nova Uniao guy.

@Tacos: Well, I'm not saying R2 is close cuz of the TD, but Lazaro was out-striking him the whole time before the herc and stank. 

Still gave it to Vick though.
