UFC on FUEL TV 7 went down last Saturday (February 16, 2013) at Wembly Arena in London, England.
Poirier fought on the co-main event and would come out on the losing end of a decision to Cub Swanson. ‘The Diamond’ is out for 180-days due to a left ankle injury.
Jimmo also came out on the losing end of a decision, having battled James Te Huna on the main card. The Canadian light heavyweight fighter was served his six-month suspension for an injury to the right thigh.
Watson is the only one of the three who won his bout, picking up a second round TKO finish over opponent Stanislav Nedkov. The victory also earned ‘Kong’ the “Fight of the Night” as well as “Knockout of the Night” bonuses. Watson will have to sit out his sentence for an injured right elbow.
