UFC on FOX 12 was a solid card. The prelims were decent and full of decisions, but the main card really turned up the heat. We saw a close fought fight between Bobby Green and Josh Thomson go to split decision, an ever improving Dennis Bermudez submit Clay Guida and a huge knockout victory for Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. While all of this was terrific, as expected, it was out-shined by the amazing main event fight between Robbie Lawler and Matt Brown. With the unanimous decision victory, Robbie Lawler secured a rematch with UFC Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks.
