Awesome fight on a really, really good card. I know you were dogging it earlier, Josh...but this card was really solid, IMO.

Yea, pretty good dude. Fitch-Alves was kind of a yawner, but then Fitch (whom I respect alot) likes to go to the ground a lot, and that can make for a boring fight. Alves got a lot of pub after wins over Hughes and Koscheck, but I'm not that impressed with him. He needs a good deal of work on his boxing, and takedown D. Room for improvement there.

Stefan Struve! Man, he came back from the brink with a killer KO! That fight was kickass!

I was glad to see Roy the Douchebag Nelson lose.

Silva pulled a rabbit out of a hat.

Yeah, Fitch does like the lay and pray, but atleast this time he was actively working to finish the fight, taking his back on several occasions and gaining full mount, too. Alves is his own worst enemy, weight cutting is a tremendous challenge for him. Struve fight was awesome, Roy Nelson took so many punches, respect to that guy. Sonnen broke the record for most strikes landed in a fight...287, I believe.

Bleh I didn't think Fitch was ever actively trying to finish the fight, sure he tried to improve to a dominate position but once he got there he did nothing.

Not what I saw, but his style tends to be not fan-friendly.

Fight of the year sonnen vs silva. With lesnar carwin a close 2nd. Silva was damn lucky.. & good. Props to Sonnen for keeping people on the edge of their seats and attacking the whole fight, even during the 5th when he clearly was winning and could've adopted a more defensive, boring posture. People were raving about sonnen the whole time I kept hearing things like "no letup in that guy" and "Wow that sonnen, what an ANIMAL".

I saw the fight at a public showing in vegas. It was amazing fight with every man woman and child in the place screaming their heads off except in the end with everyone in stunned silence at the end with "what just happened?" looks on their faces.
