Last night the UFC gave us UFC on ESPN+10, which took place in Rochester, NY. Just in case you don’t know, as New York cities go, Rochester is not even remotely any kind of media mecca or cultural seat. So of course the fight card wasn’t exactly replete with stars. However, that undercard… pretty damn violent, I’d say.
Team Tiger Schulmann standout Julio Arce battled with Julian Erosa for nearly two and a half rounds before executing a surgical kick to the neck that put Erosa out.

The ancient Ed Herman slugged it out with Pat Cummins the barista, and guess what happened?
EDWARD BENSON HERMAN!
Short night for the man they call ‘Short Fuse!’

Mike Trizano may have won TUF 27, but Grant Dawson put him away on the ground.

And then there was Michel Pereira, who made his UFC debut against Danny Roberts. Yes, that’s a flying knee/punch combo for the KO.
MADNESS!
