Thiago will become a bigger name. he just needs some time. the 205 pound class is stacked anyways. also alexander getting caught by irvin was ridiculous and that might make houston seem like less of an opponent than we though he was. all around good card. especially the main. rashad vs chuck is one of those fights to determine the next line of champs & contenders moving in. hughes to gsp, franklin to silva, chuck to rampage, sylvia to nogueira, penn back to 155.

Thiago is one of the more underrated fighters in the UFC, and I'm sure he'll be in title contention very soon.

Would have loved to see how he did against Rashad Evans but what can you do. Mendes seems to be a decent replacement since most of the top LHW are tied up right now with other fights. UFC 84 should be a sick card overall. Also Thales Leites is set to fight Nathan Marquardt at UFC 85 according to a graciemag.com interview with him. Should be another solid fight on that slowly building card. Definitely very excited to see Silva fight again. Would have loved to see how he did against Rashad Evans but what can you do.
