The UFC 155 prelims entertained the Las Vegas crowd and those watching at home on FX on Saturday night, but not without some questionable scores being tabulated by the judges.

Eddie Wineland, Erik Perez and Todd Duffee led the way for Saturday night’s preliminary fights at the MGM Grand, capping off an undercard full of back-and-forth action, as well as first-round finishes.

Brad Pickett vs. Eddie Wineland 

Eddie Wineland defeated Brad Pickett, shutting down his opponent with a split decision in the final UFC 155 prelim on FX.

Wineland landed several punches in the first round, wobbling Pickett on many occasions. Pickett did well to move forward, but never landed the “one punch” that gave him his nickname.

Wineland landed less significant strikes as the fight went to the final round, but he maintained enough to outscore his opponent on the feet in the judges’ eyes. The final scores read 30-27, 28-29 and 30-27.

“I hit him with everything I had,” Wineland said after the win. “He’s got a melon on him like a coconut.”

Erik Perez vs. Byron Bloodworth 

Erik Perez pounded out Byron Bloodworth in their UFC 155 prelim on FX, earning the TKO in the first round.

Perez brought the fight to the ground after landing a knee from the clinch in Bloodworth’s ribcage. Soon after, Perez worked from top position and landed consecutive elbows, cutting open Bloodworth’s forehead.

The Mexican fighter earned his third win in the UFC, with the finish coming at 3:50 of the opening frame.

Melvin Guillard vs. Jamie Varner 

Jamie Varner won a split decision over Melvin Guillard in their prelim fight.

Guillard landed several legkicks early on, but Varner stayed active and took his opponent down several times. A big slam near the end of the fight capped it off for Varner.

Notably, one judge scored the fight unanimously for Guillard, which brought on the split decision. Across the board, the scores were 30-27, 27-30, 30-27.

Michael Johnson vs. Myles Jury 

Myles Jury stayed undefeated, topping Michael Johnson by unanimous decision in their prelim fight.

Jury dominated Johnson on the ground, controlling him and peppering strikes from top position for a majority of the three-round contest. Judges scored it the same across the board, 30-27.

Phil DeFries vs. Todd Duffee 

Todd Duffee made a successful return to the UFC, knocking out Phil DeFries in the first round of the final Facebook undercard fight.

After getting taken down early in the fight, Duffee returned the fight to a standing contest and landed several right hands that put DeFries out for good at 2:04 of the first round.

Leonard Garcia vs. Max Holloway 

Max Holloway topped Leonard Garcia in the second fight of the night, nabbing the split decision. Garcia landed several strikes in the second and third rounds, but the judges have the decision to Holloway, which signaled the crowd to voice their displeasure with boos.

Chris Cariaso vs. John Moraga

John Moraga defeated Chris Cariaso in the evening’s opening bout. Two went back and forth for two rounds before Moraga sank the front choke at 1:11 of the third round.

Yves Edwards knocked out Jeremy Stephens in the first round of the last preliminary fight at UFC on FOX 5, in Seattle, on Saturday. Edwards landed a counter right hand, ending the contest at 1:55 of the round.

Stephens loaded up and tried to land some heavy punches in the early moments of the fight. Edwards stayed cautious, keeping away from heavy shots in the process.

Just as it looked Edwards was stepping away from further heavy punches, he landed the counter right hand that sent Stephens falling to the canvas. Edwards followed through to the ground with more punches and an elbow before the referee stepped in to bring a stop to the contest.

“I feel really good,” Edwards said. “Damn, I’m smooth.”

Edwards, now 41-18-1 in his MMA career, is back on the winning track after dropping his last contest to Tony Ferguson at the TUF 14 Finale in December 2011. Stephens loses his third consecutive fight, and hasn’t seen a win since June of 2011.

Raphael Assuncao defeated Mike Easton by decision in the second to last preliminary fight on FX. Assuncao remained patient and picked his spots, landing several strikes on his opponent throughout the three-round fight. Easton appeared to hesitate on many occasions, and his opponent kept with his approach all the way to final bell.

Judges saw the contest unanimously in Assuncao’s favor, scoring the fight 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27.

Assuncao has won two fights in a row since dropping to 135 pounds from the featherweight division. Easton loses his first fight after collecting an eight-fight winning streak.

Ramsey Nijem vs. Joe Proctor

Ramsey Nijem was successful in his prelim fight with Joe Proctor, winning a unanimous decision. The fight went back and forth for a majority of the bout, making the contest a close one to call. Nejim, however, persevered through strikes that wobbled him, and edged out his opponent in striking and octagon control.

Judges saw it in the former TUF finalist’s favor with scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28.

Daron Cruickshank vs. Henry Martinez

Daron Cruickshank earned the night’s first knockout, landing a head kick on Henry Martinez in the second round of their preliminary bout. Cruickshank dominated Martinez, but was unable to put him away immediately due to his opponent’s impressive durability. After several punches and kicks, Cruickshank finally dropped his foe with a right leg that landed cleanly on his opponent’s left ear. The finish came at 2:57 of the frame.

Abel Trujillo vs. Marcus LeVesseur

Abel Trujilo made a successful debut in the UFC with a second-round finish of Marcus LeVesseur in their prelim fight. Trujillo showed how much power he has, landing heavy strikes on his opponent on his way to the TKO. LeVesseur, beaten and battered, covered up on the ground, which allowed Trujillo to land several knees to the body. The fight came to a stop at 3:56 of the round.

Dennis Siver vs. Nam Phan

Denis Siver dominated Nam Phan in their prelim fight, collecting the unanimous decision with scores of 30-24, 30-25 and 30-26. Siver mixed up strikes on the feet, while Phan had little to offer in terms of offense. Siver, who typically likes to keep fights on the feet, took Phan down a several times, gaining top position and raining punches on the ground on his way to the win.

Scott Jorgensen vs. John Albert

Scott Jorgensen finished John Albert in the first round of their fight. Jorgensen secured his opponent’s back, sinking in a rear-naked choke, forcing Albert to tap with just a second left in the round.
