	Sergei Lyakhovich vs. Shannon Briggs

		Briggs effectively took the second round off but he was back to firing thunderbolts in the third round to close the show.
		Briggs is one of the most engaging and intelligent athletes in the sport, however, once again we fear he didn't pay the price in training camp and drop weight.

		Briggs scored a dramatic TKO victory with one second remaining in the contest at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. SHOWTIME televised the fight at 9 p.m.

		At least Botha fought a kickboxer, Shannon is fighting two MMA style fighters right away, and that just upsets me. For all I know Briggs is a great kicker and ready for K-1, but don't you guys think he should fight a K-1 fighter instead of a MMA fighter?
