I had him winning the fight till the third.And I also Expected Chuck, To get in the ring and call him out after the win! Tito was saying all this stuff that he was healthy,And after he lost the fight he has herniated discs in his back and a cracked skull.How in the hell did he get medical clearance to fight ? Excuses, Excuses.Tito has not Evolved as a Fighter, He still has Rudamentry stand up.As far as Marcus Davis And Phil Baroni go the are Victims of Violent Muay Thai Striking. Idont know if there will be any Really stand out cards,until Early 2010 Yeah the after math! I regret paying 45.00 for the P.P.V.

I suspect we've only seen the tip of the iceberg on how much of an impact elite level boxing can have on mma (any boxers care to elaborate a little? How good is Brazilian super hw champion and pan am bronze medalist? Makes you wonder what a Pacquiao or Mayweather could do with grappling training - but they simply don't need this kind of risk for relatively little money - so it makes me wish for Silva vs. Jones, Jr. under boxing rules). Would love to see Nog vs. Griffin, Rua, Rashad and Machida. I’m with you all on the Lil Nog assessment.

He might've been nervous about his arm, because I think Grove transitioned from a pretty good arm bar into the triangle, and then Rosholt realized that when he tapped his arm wasn't in jeopardy at that point. Saunders' knees were devastating, but he had a significant height advantage over Davis. Let's see if he can use them to the same effect with an opponent who is closer to his height. If so, he's da Muy Thai man. It may be obnoxious, but Kos bought the right to talk some smack after beating Johnson. Kos has more experience, but he gave up weight, height and reach and won impressively. I doubt he meant to indirectly dis Swick, but his suggestion that Hardy shouldn't have a title shot is probably correct. I think that 's a political match up in the sense that UFC is really trying to establish itself in the UK, and they think a title shot for Hardy will increase enthusiasm there.

I did like Dana's comment that he should fight Jon Fitch. Luis Cane- 2 things bother me about cutting weight, the first is that prior to this he was an undefeated LHW(i don't count the Irvin loss as a loss, we've seen how much heart Irvin has), but more importantly i could see this type of move turning out like Vera cutting to LHW and losing all his power. Little Nog is much more experienced, i still think Cane beats the majority of LHW's ranked 7-20... Ben Saunders- I take more from his lack of performance against Swick, and equal sized WW than i do against Wolf or Davis. I don't think those knees would come out against any top WW's and Saunders hasn't shown much else besides really great knees. Wanderlei vs. Akiyama... ?... i want to see that fight.
