Matt Roberts
Five knockouts in 10 fights, and just like that, UFC on FX 6 was in the books.
Robert Whittaker and Norman Parke made their countries proud, earning the right to call themselves inaugural TUF: Smashes champions with a pair of hard-fought decision victories. Hector Lombard reminded everyone why the UFC forked over a monsterous contract to steal him away from Bellator. And a grudge match seven months in the making finally met a violent end, with Ross Pearson dismantling George Sotiropoulos en route to a third-round KO.
All in all, there was plenty to see on Friday night. And like usual, the pros were among those tuning into the action.

Interesting that Phalares didn't shoot at all on Lombard. I assumed that's how that fight would go
