Kind of a boring, lackluster UFC. Especially when compared to the last WEC. Oh well.
Wanderlei is awesome, all he wants to do is make a good fight for the fans. I love that guy.
He's def one of my favorite all-time fighters. I just hate seeing him pile up the losses.

Apparently Mustapha is appealing the about the fight because of the eye poke.
1) Is no-contest how people wind-up with that 23-5-x. X representing no-contest
2) This happened a while back as well right? I think the fighter was Anthony Johnson. He was fighting a fighter who used palm strikes, and he caught like three eye pokes. The last eyeshot wound up opening a chance for a stoppage by strikes.

The third column can be No Contest or Draw. (Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans ended in a draw. Tito won 2-1 rounds but since he had 1 point deduction for repeated offense of holding on the fence)
Yes it was Anthony Johnson but that one was still held as loss for him. I don't think he appealed it but just accepted his misfortune and asked for a rematch instead.
There should be no draws. I say go another round for sudden death.
