I thought the Newton/Vassell fight was really fun. The first two rounds had some great back-and-forth action on the ground with Newton escaping from some precarious positions.
Rex should be happy as he is making history. Via Deadspin:
"No team has ever run for 200 yards, held the ball for 40 or more minutes, and committed zero turnovers and lost a game. The Jets are the first."
Who does your rankings? UFC has Rivera ranked No. 11. Sterling is not ranked anywhere in the top 15.
The only other guy ranked higher he hasn't fought yet is Johnny Eduardo.
I looked at Fightmatrix, which has Rivera at no. 27 and Sterling at no. 23.
