It's not Grugel or McCurry, and "their production is right it's all about the fighters" ? It's the complete opposite it's all about the brand name they have said this themselves that's why they don't care if guys like Arlovski,Ortiz, and Sylvia leave or if they sign the best fighter in the world ,also their not going to give fight of the night to one that lasted 3 minutes.

Partly because I was pissed off in the first place that Lesnar got a title shot. As champion and living legend, Couture should have been able to see tons of footage of his opponent, but that was not possible here. Seeing Gurgel fumble and fail to fight the way god intended was not that interesting to me. It was enteraining viscerally, but anyone who knows anything about the sport saw that fight as yet another instance of Jorge being stupid, ignoring his best skills, and then the fight becomes a test to see how well he will lose. That guy should try to win. And by that I mean, he should try try making use of his black belt. Overall, the fights were entertaining, but the card was underwhelming. I think the UFC needed to get more names on the card. I was actually not that impressed with this PPV. Partly because I was pissed off in the first place that Lesnar got a title shot.

I love Rogan, he is the #1 MMA commentator. He is funny and very insightful. As fighting becomes more and more complex, he is right on top of the technical aspects. As someone who grapples, I like that he doesnt water it down. As far as the production goes, the UFC has gotten it right. Its all about the fighters. They give a nice bio before the fight and don't distract from the fights. If you want more there is always the internet. Just look at CBS to see how not to do it. But the number 1 reason the UFC is the best show is because the have the best fighters. Their depth is unreal. Fighters that get cut from the UFC challenge for other promotions belts. That says it all. As far as UFC promotion goes, its by far the best. I love Rogan, he is the #1 MMA commentator. He is funny and very insightful.

It was was exciting in the exchanges, but Grugel's kickboxing technique was so poor that a betterstriker would have knocked him out in the first round. While he was aggressive, his chin was exposed for a long time while he kept throwing hook after hook. My fight of the night was Hazlet vs McCurry. Good, solid striking with one hell of a submission. I've never seen so many omoplata attempts on one card. It was awesome!! 91 certain lived up to the hype. Its right up there with UFC 87 I disagree that Grugel Riley was fight of the night.
