BJ put on a clinic he is amazing. Aside from the GSP beating but GSP is the best fighter in the world. The BJ Penn fight was awesome how come that didn’t get fight of the night?

Grove Almeida was as dull as i was expecting, Sadollah Hendricks was a soft stoppage, i dont think it would have lasted much longer but he should have had a chance to carry on. outside of the two main fights the rest was like a fight night undercard. i wanted to see Tandem & Danillo fight, would be interesting for someone to post reports on these fights instead of only the fights we all watched? George Sotiropoulous looked good, against another whothefuckareyou fighter tho, but i look forward to his next fight. surprised Sakara beat Thales to a decison mind. it makes me laugh, the last person to fight for the MW belt gets the undercard while shit like Grove/Almeida & Shanewhothefuck/Riley get the main event? go figure. i know TUF is popular and all but they were both shit 3 rounders that let the whole card down in my opinion you know i’d forgotten who else fought on that card.

I thought Josh was about to win in the last 25 seconds, i only watched it once but it looked like Kurt was almost out when Josh was using those elbows against the side of his head. Also, what the fuck was Shane whoeverthefuckheis and Aaron Riley doing on a PPV card? was there really NO other fighters available to fight on that event? it was a piss poor fight anyway, i would have skipped through if i was watching it on dvd on an undercard. who chose to show that shit? just cos one of them was on TUF? load of bollox. loved BJ's schooling of Kenny, great performance personally enjoyed the Neer Pellegrino fight most on that card.

You do not reward Forrest with any other cash prize for the performance (or lack there of) he used last night. Bottom line, it should not have been the FOTN. Maybe the UFC should come out with a "Domination of the Night" award I disagree,

It was one of the most masterful dominations of a top ranked fighter in a long time. This would be equal to penn vs gsp 2 if PENN would have won pretty much...since anderson was clearly the smaller guy moving up.

While Silva vs Griffin was relativley short, from where I was at. It certainly got the most rise out of people. When Anderson blasted him with that last shot and Forrest went down like so. I'm telling you, the bar went fackin' nuts! It was a real HOLY SHIT moment. So with that, I can see why they gave it them. Plus, I heard Forrest got his jaw broken so he'll need some extra grease for sure. Penn vs. Florian...I don't care what anyone says. That fight was badass. You just saw THE BEST 155er ON THIS PLANET dominate someone who would beat down "most" of the top 10 at 155. Kenny didn't even get ONE takedown and he just got done training with GSP. Both these guys deserved a FOTN honor as well. That was a good fight. Honestly, I do not see BJ Penn losing at 155 for a long time. I also agree with "dpk" that the George vs. George fight was a good one as well. Both fighter's put on a great performance. I'm interested to see if George Sotiropoulos (sp?) is gonna fight again this year. He looks like he could do some damage along the way. Ozz is correct.
