Why would Kongo/Rampage fight if they are in different divisions and they are good friends.
What the heck was I thinking lol, for some reason I was thinking Kongo was LHW there for a second lol. I'm tired. Well Mir/Lesnar, Rampage/Evans and Liddell/Griffin would be an awesome main card. Maybe Couture/Nog instead of one of them.
wwwooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lol i was so wrong on almost every prediction . only one i guessed right was evans /griffin .....that page knockout over wand , what can i say ?? i wanted wand to win , but i think rampage put in the time and took his training seriously and congradulations to him . mir looked as though he was more boxer than bjj man . very impressed with him as well . kongo proved hes a bad man too .almost looked like anderson silva on the juice .great show , no boring descisions , all ended decisively , thanks and congrats to dana and the ufc . i wish all cards were that exciting and unpredictable . i hope the winner of mir/lesnar gets kongo , if kongo shows up like last night , he may have the reach and power to give lesnar a better test . but time will tell.
...I was sitting there seeing Griffin's large text vote margin and it was nearly the same as when Evans fought Liddell. Forrest looked good coming out of the gate. I just had that feeling with Evans recently putting Liddell to sleep was a clear sign that Rashad Evans is peaking. That was an impressive poundout by Evans. Once Evans got mount I could see the end coming. I think we are all very curious to see Rampage & Evans go toe to toe. The LHW belt as I said for a while is a hot potato.
I think Rampage needs to fight the winner of Machida/Silva before he gets another title shot. Those two Brazilians are a serious threat in the superstacked Light Heavyweight Division.
Man, I know it has been said already a thousand times, but that was just a simply awesome card. From the first bout all the way throug until it went off the air, there was action and great fighters doing what they do best.
I was shocked by Rampage's knockout of Wanderlei, and was impressed by Mir's striking ability against Nogueira.
Also, Evans really impressed me as an all-around MMA stud. I know that he is great, but I thought he might have been a little over-hyped coming in. With his performance, he proved me wrong.
Overall, a great night of action. I can't wait for the next big UFC card.
I never got to see the full event so I was wondering, did Rashad do the nipple twist?
no but mir did it too one of his coaches. it was funny. After he talked to Lesnar his coach came, they both bowed and Mir touched his nippless and then they hugged. Wierd....
Anway all my predictions where right. Then again I only predicted the main card.

What surprised me was that he said he would win by ground and pound. Which he basically did. Those where some crazy punches from Rashad. And Griffin flailing made me laugh. He looked like a monkey.

What a great show. Results were a little surprising but hey, the fights were awesome. Almost all fights ended decisively. I was really surprised about Mir out-striking Nog. Great. Lesnar -Mir 2 will surely be good.
As with future title matches, Evans vs Machida is something that I am really looking forward to. Well, Rampage could battle machida first. We don't know what's on Dana's head right now.
