This was a good card overall.
Wanderlei needs to retire.
Anthony Njokuani is awesome. Props to Winner for weathering such an intense beating though.
Guillard looked good.
Carlos Condit won with a flying knee and I am happy. I mentioned this a while ago, but I am really excited about him vs GSP. It is definitely going to happen.....unless one of them dies or something.
I did not predict Sotiropoulos getting KTFO.
Dominick Cruz vs Urijah Faber. Sick fight. I swear Cruz is the closest we have to a drunken style fighter in MMA. Dude moves so weird. Good stuff to both guys though.
Surprised that Tito won in the manner he did. Congratulations to him.

I was thinking that during the fight; that what he's doing somewhat resembles Drunken Fist. Albeit, his movements were a bit relaxed, and true Drunken style has more exaggerated movements. Either way it definitely threw off Faber, with his tow-the-line/no-funny-business orthodox MMA style.
On that same note; I'd like to see some Capoiera in MMA. Anderson Silva practices it, so when he has his rematch against Okami in Rio, it would be cool if he busted out some handstand-kicks, visunas and negativas (and any other number of Capoiera moves). I mean...a Black Brazillian fighting in Rio...where would be a more appropriate venue than to see that?

Wiman got screwed hardcore; Siver got his ass beat like a dirty rug. For shame, judges...

Understatement of the century. This was easily card of the year so far, and will probably stay that way.

I'd love to see Anderson use Capoeira in fight too... but only because it would pretty much insure that he would get his ass beat, and that is something I want to see. 😎

In the hands (and feet) of Silva, any fighting style would be effective. He's a beast and has proven to be a powerful foe in all aspects of fighting, so I don't see why Capoiera would differ. Plus, he recieved his yellow rope under Master Sidinho, a well known Capoeira master, so its the real deal.
I don't care who wins between them, I just wanna see a good fight. No bullshit DQ for Okami's favor like we saw back in '06, or cartoonish dancing from Silva like he did at UFC 112.
aww crud, fight isnt happening:
