Stipe Miocic was in a lose-lose situation heading into tonight's main event against light heavyweight Fabio Maldonado of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale. If he doesn't smash the Brazilian in the first round, people will doubt how good Miocic really is. If Miocic loses the fight, he plummets in the UFC heavyweight rankings and won't get a title shot for a very long time. The number seven ranked heavyweight in the UFC chose the first option as Miocic defeated Maldonado by first round TKO in 0:35. To begin the fight, Maldonado went right at Miocic. The Ohio native though kept his cool and hit Maldonado with a left hand that dropped the Brazilian. Miocic let him up and then dropped Maldonado with a right hand. A couple hammerfists later and referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the fight. In the co-main event, Antonio Carlos Junior defeated Vitor Miranda to win The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 heavyweight season. Junior dominated the entire fight mixing up his punches and using his ground game to secure the victory. In the middleweight final of TUF Brazil 3, Warlley Alves defeated Marcio Alexandre by third round submission to win the season. Alves overwhelmed Alexandre from the beginning of the fight using his power and taking Alexandre down at will. In the finishing sequence of the fight, Alves threw a left hand that stunned Alexandre. Alves jumped on that, dropped down for a guillotine choke and Alexandre tapped out. In the opening two matches of the main card, Robbie Peralta defeated Rony Jason by split decision in a fight that could have gone either way. Then in a must win fight, Demian Maia got back in the winners circle defeating Alexander Yakovlev by unanimous decision. In analysing the card, the show was fairly entertaining. The main event went as expected and Miocic should get the fight with dos Santos in the near future. UFC 176 in August would make sense as that card needs a co-main event. I was very impressed by both TUF winners, but especially Alves. His coach, Chael Sonnen has said that Alves can walk right into the UFC and beat middleweight champion Chris Weidman. Take it easy there Chael! It would make sense for Alves to drop to welterweight as he is a very light middleweight. Maia looked very impressive coming off two straight losses. The Brazilian used his standup to setup his takedowns, which helped Maia secure the victory. It will be interesting to see what the UFC does with Maia. Looking at the current UFC rankings, Tarec Saffiedine would make the most sense for the Brazilian to fight next.
