The best and worst from UFC Fight Night 155: De Randamie vs. Ladd

#2 Best: Team Alpha Male comes up trumps

Josh Emmett was one of 4 victorious Team Alpha Male fighters

We’ve been over the great performance of Urijah Faber, but he wasn’t the only member of Team Alpha Male to come up with the goods last night. Four representatives of the Sacramento-based gym were in action in their hometown and all four won, with three of them – Faber included – collecting $50k bonuses for their night’s work.

Josh Emmett picked up another big knockout win – this time dropping Mirsad Bektic with a stiff jab before finishing him off with some nasty ground strikes – and Andre Fili was arguably even more impressive on the prelims, destroying Sheymon Moraes with punches in the first round of what was probably the best performance of his UFC career to date.

Fili finally looks set to make a run at the top of the Featherweight division now – something he’s had the talent to be capable of doing all along.

And while Benito Lopez’s decision win over Vince Morales in the night’s opener was questionable at best – Lopez went down in the first round and it appeared that Morales won at least two rounds – it still whipped the crowd into a frenzy when his name was announced as the victor.

Booking hometown fighters is always a bit of a calculated risk as there’s the potential of a dead crowd should they lose, but it came off big time for the UFC last night.
