WINNIPEG – In a fight in which referee Yves Lavigne earned every penny of his commission pay, light heavyweights Ryan Jimmo and Igor Pokrajac plodded along to the scorecards. In the end, judges were unanimous in their call for Jimmo, who won all three rounds on the scorecards, but it wasn’t the type of fight that advanced his career. The bout was part of today’s UFC 161 event at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. It aired on pay-per-view after prelims on FX and Facebook. Afterward, Jimmo apologized to the crowd, which apparently was distracted by a fight in the stands that contained more action than the 15 minutes that took place in the cage. From the outset, the fight went in fits and starts as Jimmo and Pokrajac traded heavy punches, only to lock up and stall against the cage. They were repeatedly separated by Lavigne, whose interventions failed to break the stalemate
