UFC Fight Night Macao Wrap Up!

We are very tired after an exciting weekend in Macau for the "Expendables 3" Premiere on Friday and UFC Fight Night Macao 2014 last night.    We were fortunate enough to get a ring-side seat and we hope you all enjoyed the live social media updates we were doing on twitter, weibo and mig.me.  (Check previous pages of this blog to see them all if you missed it!)  

The fights were very exciting, especially the finale between AnD-friend Cung Le and Michael Bisping.  Cung got some nasty cuts in the first round and fought valiantly through the 4th round before the gushing blood and obscured vision allowed Bisping to get the better of him with a TKO after a heavy knee strike.  Exciting but also very gory (both fighters were drenched in Cung's blood by the end!) :-O

Here are the official results from the UFC's press release -
