I think Jeremy shoved Florian at the weigh-ins, so Florian wasn't lookign too healthy in this one. Fight started okay, but he declined fast, and Jeremy took advantage, dominating the entire last half (or more) of the fight. Too tired to get them finishes though. Damn you stamina! And weigh-ins shoving!
