    My hunch is that Dana wants it to eventually run like the UFC - and in the UFC, L's don't matter unless you get too many of them or consistently put in underwhelming performances. It's a much more straightforward and honest approach than the record label model that the existing sanctioning bodies have been running for some time now.

    I made a very similar observation to a friend recently.

    I like Rayo, but merely because the dickriding has been relentless from these Zuffa clowns, I want to see him KO'd again.

    That, and I predicted De Los Santos would pull the upset the first time.:D

    Think Sandoval is going to chew up Lee. The stoppage line for Cain is +490 but I think that's garbage,

    You don't send your opponent to the canvas you punch them to the canvas or knock them down. You send a parcel or a letter or send someone on an errand

    I don't care how long that has been part of boxing vernacular saying you send someone to the canvas sanitizes it and removes the violence from it.

    Thank you for your time

    Round 1 Lee 10-9

    Cain largely staying on the backfoot, doing little ambushes, but Lee is outworking him and landing the heavier blobws.

    Round 1 Lee 10-9
    Round 2 Lee 10-9

    Same as the first round, then Cain buzzes Lee with a looping hook, but Lee returns the favor, landing several heavy one twos.

    Don't think Sandoval has anything for Lee - now he knows if he really does catch Lee and get stuck in the pocket with him Lee can end the fight. Poor body language from Sandoval at the end.

    Good bodywork by Sandoval at the end and right as the bell rings Lee gets the better of the subsequent exchange.

    Round 1 Lee 10-9
    Round 2 Lee 10-9
    Round 3 Lee 10-9
    Round 4 Lee 10-9

    Lee just picking him off with one twos as Cain leaps in. This is easy work so far.
