UFC Fight Night 70 was never going to be a huge draw or attention grabber. By the end of the night, it was an attention grabber, for better or for worse.<\/p>\n
#6 Middleweight Yoel Romero upset #4 Lyoto Machida after a slow first round. Machida was as Machida is, keeping out of Romero’s range, sticking and running with a bevy of kicks. By the end of Round 1, it appeared as if Romero had started to time Machida’s movements, and it paid off dividends for the middleweight contender.<\/p>\n
In round 2, Romero began landing heavy shots and appeared to win the round. In the third, Romero scored a takedown, in what has proven to be a weak area for Machida of late. A few big strikes later, Romero walked out with a TKO victory, and will probably make a big leap to #3 in the Middleweight rankings on Monday. Following the fight, Romero went on an anti-same sex marriage rant in broken English, something that will certainly draw the ire of UFC brass.<\/p>\n
Lorenz Larkin was another big winner on the show, as he improved to 2-0 at welterweight, after dropping 4 of 5 fights at middleweight. Thiago Santos also scored a major knockout of the year candidate win, with a monster head kick knockout over former hockey enforcer Steve Bosse.
