With the win "The Savage" improved to 11-4. Hosman fell to 17-6-1.

Brandon Visher vs. Courtney Buck

The scouting report on Visher was that the stocky Hawaiian hit hard. After Saturday night, Courtney Buck probably agrees. In a wildly entertaining bout, Buck rushed Visher from the opening horn and tagged him with some decent shots and a few solid knees to the grill for good measure. Visher, a blocklayer, answered with a heavy right hand to the head that knocked Buck backward. Visher landed more powerful combinations, then scored a takedown - and it quickly became clear that Buck, who took the fight on short notice, was vastly out of his element (or as WEC commentator Frank Mir politely phrased it, "Courtney's not doing anything correctly" on the ground). Visher achieved mount and eventually a scramble ensued with Buck on all fours and Visher raining down punches. Then Buck made a costly mistake, he turned flat on his back - failing to use his hips, arms or legs to defend himself. Visher made him pay with several potent hammer fists. At 4:45 of round one, it was lights out for Mr. Buck.

Visher remained unbeaten at 14-0.

Kyle Dietz vs. Brad Pickett

Pickett, a Brit making his WEC debut, notched his 19th win by surprising Dietz with a wicked Peruvian necktie submission. Pickett controlled most of the fight with takedowns and ground and pound, and withstood a furious flurry of blows by Dietz during the first 20 seconds of round two. Pickett, who trains out of London and supplements his workload out of American Top Team, put away his foe at 4:36 in round two. With the win, "One Punch" improved to 19-4. Dietz fell to 13-2.

Jameel Massouh vs. Erik Koch

Making his WEC debut, Koch showed exceptional poise to protect his unbeaten record while grinding out a unanimous decision win over the veteran Massouh. No blows of consequence were landed in the first round by either fighter, but the action heated up in the second stanza when Koch - while defending a single-leg attack - jumped and kneed Massouh in the face with his free knee. Moments later Koch slipped behind the Wisconsinite and slammed him to the mat.

Again, both men spent a lot time pummeling and re-pummeling in the clinch before the best moment of the fight came late in the second round.

Koch slipped behind Massouh and slammed him to the canvas for a takedown then passed guard and landed a few elbows. Everything Massouh did the 21-year-old Koch seemed to have an answer for. The Iowan simply outhustled and outscrambled Massouh at every turn. At one point Koch took Massouh's back and came dangerously close to securing a choke, but Massouh gamely survived.

The verdict lacked suspense; Koch won a unanimous decision by scores of 30-27 and improved to 9-0. Massouh fell to 21-7 and dropped his third straight in the WEC.
