Stupid European judge giving Nelson 3 of the rounds... wtf? At worst, it was 2 rounds to Nelson.
In USA, this would've been Rick Story 4-1 or 5-0.

Rick Story def. Gunnar Nelson Decision (split) (47-48, 49-46, 50-44)
Biased judge...

So that fight in a nutshell.
Black eye on Cavanough's coaching, awful cornering advice, no implementation of a jab whatsoever for Nelson.
On the Story side, AMAZING gameplan, the MMA Lab clearly worked wonders in teaching him to be aggressive in the right spots without being open for the blast double.
Amazing performance by story, amazing amount of holes in Nelson's game.
We all knew this line was too wide and it showed.

the line was so dumb non of this was surprising and we didn't see any new skills by either guy just standard stuff. wish I bet more but the Overeem bet has taken the confidence out of me

The best thing to do with Overeem is just not bet him. It's hard, but it's something you have to do, imo. (I haven't bet his last two fights.)
When he gets into the cage, I just hope he wins and avoids as much damage as possible.

Copy/paste from another website:
Jim Bergman had Gunnar Nelson winning the fight; he gave him R1, R2, and R3. Mark Collett had Story 49-46, giving Gunnar R1. Paul Sutherland: 50-44 Story, with a 10-8 R4.
Apparently he's some local judge from Gothenburg with his own club. Hopefully first and last time we ever see him involved in UFC.

WOW!
Welcome back to the UFC, Mike Wilkinson!
Backstrom walked up to Wilkinson and Dan Hardy right before the post-fight interview started and said into the microphone, "that's fucked up," then walked away.
The Swedish crowd is booing Wilkinson for some reason, even though he won via KO.
I missed this because I fast forwarded all the interviews etc. What the hell did he mean by that o-O? Seems like an incredibly random thing to say, although I guess he did just get his brain pretty rumbled.
Hm.. Off-suite socks..

No idea what he meant by it. Backstrom probably felt like a Starcraft 1 pro gamer who just got 6-pooled in WCG by a random foreigner. He was probably just pissed and needed to let some steam off.
I was surprised more by the crowd that was booing Wilkinson. It seemed like, "how dare you beat our countryman!" If it was Gustafsson who got knocked out in Sweden, his opponent probably wouldn't have made it home alive.

Translated by someone on Sherdog:
Q: Then afterwards, when... [Wilkinson] was extremely exited and ran around, and then there was the interview. We saw you there on your stool, you seemed totally unsympathetic [to the stoppage] and walked up and said "That's fucked up!"... what are your thoughts about that?
A:Yeah... after you get knocked out, well... understandably, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. I was... well, totally convinced that I had been robbed. Ehm... of course afterwards I realized how ridiculous I had been... But... well, yeah, I'm a warrior, and I'll keep fighting until im unable to continue. This time I was unable, but I couldn't understand it at the time... It's really good that there's a referee in there to tell you when it's over
Q: What were your feelings then, right after the stoppage?
A: Well, first anger, shock... I absolutely do not have any ill feelings towards [Wilkinson], he's a great guy. I met him and talked for a bit after the fight, and he's a really great guy, which is something I never really had any doubts about. This is what happens in this sport, and I wish him the best of luck in the future but [just after the stoppage] I wasn't really the sharpest tool in the shed.

That's a pretty great response, understandably confused after that punch hehe
And swedish sports fans can be idiots... we have a decent amount of hooligan culture in soccer etc so I wouldnt assume MMA fans are any better
