LAST 4 & 5 STARS FIGHTS:
Review: 2012-12-30, Oleg Maskaev vs Owen Beck gets two stars only for the pretty good finish if not was one of the worst fight of the year. Oleg Maskaev entered the fight with a record of 36-7-0 while Owen Beck had a record of 29-11-0 (Maskaev is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since December 11, 2009 when he was defeated by Nagy Aguilera). Maskaev vs Beck is the main event of the evening. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, Todd Duffee vs Philip De Fries gets three stars only for the good finish (UFC Knockout of the Night). The American Todd Duffee (7-2-0) entered as the No.37 heavyweight in the world while Philip De Fries (9-1-0) entered as the No.56. Duffee vs De Fries is on the undercard of Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez 2 – UFC 155. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, good fight and good finish (UFC Submission of the Night) between John Moraga and Chris Cariaso: three stars. John Moraga (12-1-0) entered as the No.16 flyweight in the world while Chris Cariaso (14-3-0) entered as the No.7.

Review: 2012-12-29, after watching the rematch between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez a second time, we give it three stars but it was close to get four since the first two rounds were very exciting thanks to a great pace and one knockdown, but in the following rounds the pace slows down and they are not as active as at the beginning; we would like to see a third fight very soon but we also know that Alistair Overeem is waiting for the UFC belt… Junior dos Santos (15-1-0) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Cain Velasquez (10-1-0) entered as the No.2. In their first fight JDS defeated Velasquez by ko (November 12, 2011); ‘Cigano’ dos Santos vs Velasquez 2 is valid for the UFC Heavyweight title (dos Santos’ second defense), main event of UFC 155. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, great fight with a spectacular first round, some vicious elbows and a lot of blood: Jim Miller vs Joe Lauzon gets three stars and wins UFC Fight of the Night honors but for us the main event between Dos Santos and Velasquez was more exciting. Jim Miller (21-4-0) entered as the No.17 lightweight in the world while Joe Lauzon (22-7-0) entered as the No.18. Miller vs Lauzon is on the undercard of Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez 2 – UFC 155; they also faced each other a second time on August 27, 2016 (=Joe Lauzon vs Jim Miller 2). Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, fight not particularly exciting between Tim Boetsch and Constantinos Philippou: two stars. Tim Boetsch (16-4-0) entered as the No.6 middleweight in the world while Constantinos Philippou (11-2-0) entered as the No.22. Boetsch vs Philippou is on the undercard of Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez 2 – UFC 155. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, pretty good third round between Yushin Okami and Alan Belcher but it is not enough to get three stars. Yushin Okami (27-7-0) entered as the No.16 middleweight in the world while Alan Belcher (18-6-0) entered as the No.8. In their first fight Okami defeated Belcher by unanimous decision (August 26, 2006); this second fight is on the undercard of Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez 2 – UFC 155. Watch the video!
Review: 2012-12-29, pretty boring fight with only some good takedowns: Chris Leben vs Derek Brunson gets two stars. Chris Leben (22-8-0) entered as the No.25 middleweight in the world while Derek Brunson (9-2-0) entered as the No.46. Leben vs Brunson is on the undercard of Junior dos Santos vs Cain Velasquez 2 – UFC 155. Watch the video!
