<p>Last Saturday&#8217;s UFC on Fuel TV card wasn&#8217;t seen by many (as of this writing Fuel&#8217;s available in about sixty-three households in the whole world), but as I alluded to last Friday, the overlooked card provided plenty of entertainment due to strong matchmaking.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jason Young defeated Eric Wisely via unanimous decision</strong> (30–28, 29–28, 29–28)</li>
<li><strong>Simeon Thoresen defeated Besam Yousef via submission</strong> (rear-naked choke) at 2:36 of round 2</li>
<li><strong>Reza Madadi defeated Yoislandy Izquierdo via submission</strong> (guillotine choke) at 1:28 of round 2</li>
<li><strong>Francis Carmont defeated Magnus Cedenblad via submission</strong> (rear-naked choke) at 1:42 of round 2</li>
<li><strong>Cyrille Diabate defeated Tom DeBlass via majority decision</strong> (29–28, 29–28, 28–28)</li>
<li><strong>James Head defeated Papy Abedi via submission</strong> (rear-naked choke) at 4:33 of round 1.</li>
</ul>
<p>Confession: I didn&#8217;t see a single one of these. The last fight ended up making the broadcast after the main event, but I&#8217;d already left the house.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MAIN CARD</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Brad Pickett defeated Damacio Page via submission</strong> (rear-naked choke) at 4:05 of round 2. I missed this one, too, and I&#8217;m bummed that I did. Been reading it was a great damn fight. I might have to <del>bit-torrent that shit somehow</del> acquire it through legal means, my friends at the UFC! <em>WINK</em>.</li>
<li><strong>John Maguire defeated DaMarques Johnson via submission</strong> (armbar) at 4:40 of round 2. Poor DaMarques. He went too hard and too aggressive for a submission and got caught himself. I feel for you, bro. That shit&#8217;s infuriating.</li>
<li><strong>Dennis Siver defeated Diego Nunes via unanimous decision</strong> (29–28, 29–28, 29–28). I take back what I said. I might be biased because I&#8217;ve been a backer since he came in to the UFC, but he looked <em>great</em> here. I think he&#8217;ll adjust okay despite his difficulty making weight (it was his first time fighting at 145). The only concern here is addressing the grappling deficiency he&#8217;ll run into when he gets to the upper echelon of the division, but I honestly think he&#8217;s going to adjust and be a real threat. Keep your eye on this one.</li>
<li><strong>Siyar Bahadurzada defeated Paulo Thiago via KO</strong> (punch) at 0:42 of round 1. God <em>damn, </em>son. Paulo put his head wayyyyy down for an overhand right and got met with the business end of an uppercut from Bahadurzada that almost took his head off. Well played.</li>
<li><strong>Brian Stann defeated Alessio Sakara via KO</strong> (punches) at 2:26 of round 1. I like Stann so I was happy to see him get the win here, but I was bummed to see Sakara go down again. There&#8217;s a lot of potential there. C&#8217;est la vie.</li>
<li><strong>Alexander Gustafsson defeated Thiago Silva via unanimous decision</strong> (30–27, 30–27, 29–28). Let me get this out of the way first: Gustafsson looked really good here. He battered Silva about the cage and wasn&#8217;t intimidated at all by the man who just last year was playing bongos on Brandon Vera&#8217;s back shortly after providing a sample to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that, it turns out, was &#8220;not human urine&#8221; (hence the one year suspension). Still, all this talk of Jon Jones &#8211; both the comparisons to and talk of an eventual bout &#8211; are wicked premature. Gustafsson looked good enough to easily dispatch a guy who&#8217;s just outside the top ten at Light Heavyweight. Does that mean he&#8217;s ready for Jones? Not even close. It does show, though, that the guy&#8217;s got a lot of upside and is only getting better.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Is it worth going out of your way to see a replay?</strong> Eh. Pickett/Page maybe, but I think you&#8217;re safe missing everything else.</p>
