TORONTO – It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done.

While the performance may have lacked some of the pizazz of recent performances, veteran fighter Brian Ebersole earned a hard-fought split-decision victory over Canadian welterweight Claude Patrick.

The fight took place at UFC 140 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. It was part of the night’s pay-per-view main card and followed prelims on Facebook and ION Television.

“Some people are going to be popular, and some people aren’t,” Bowles said today in advance of his meeting with Urijah Faber at Saturday’s UFC 139 event, which takes place at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

In four years under the big lights, Bowles has struggled to find an audience. Now, it sounds a little like he’s giving up looking.
