    Guillard vs Clementi:

    Round 1

    Clementi subs Guillard with a RNC and a body lock. After the fight, Clementi gives Guillard a DX Crotch Chop. Guillard tries to attack Clementi from behind, but Herb Dean stops him.

    Clementi talking shit on the mic after the fight, they have to be seperated again.

    Decent fight. Clementi landed a couple nice low kicks and a takedown. Guillard landed a good right, but ended up getting taken down and choked out.

    Very WWEish, but fun nonetheless.

    Machida vs. Sokoudjou:

    Soko comes out in a Predator mask and to some African drums. Pretty cool entrance. This should be a good fight. Machida can look boring because he doesn't press the fight. Soko should bring the fight to him.

    Round 1

    Uneventful 1st round. 4 minutes of Machida on top with Soko looking lost on bottom. Machida didn't do much while he was on top.

    They get stood up, and Soko takes down Machida.

    Round to Machida.

    Round 2

    Machida lands a nice high kick to start the round.

    Not much of anything for a few minutes. Soko walks into a punch and gets dropped, Machida flurries on top but can't finish. Machida on top.

    Soko looks lost, and he's breathing heavy.

    Machida applies an arm triangle and Soko taps.

    Machida is a great fighter, but he makes Tim Sylvia look like Forrest Griffin.

    Text Messenging predictions has Chuck 60% and Wandy 40%, and Hughes 52% and GSP 48%.

    Who actually text messeges a PPV?

    Eddie Sanchez vs Sao Palelei

    Rd 1

    Sao gets somewhat of a takedown against the fence. They struggle for awhile. Sao gets kneed in the ding dong. About a minute stoppage in the action.

    More hugging against the fence. Sanchez lands a few punches. Sao isn't hurt, but he's not doing much.

    Round to Sanchez.

    Not sure why this fight is on the main card. Both fighters look out of shape. This could get ugly if it goes all 3.

    Round 3

    Sanchez lands some decent shots. Sao is bleeding from the nose. Sanchez is dominating, but not looking good doing it, if that makes any sense. Sao is doing nothing but trying to clinch.

    Both fighters look gassed.

    Sao clinches more, Sanchez throwing on the inside.

    Yamasaki stops the fight. Thank God. Sanchez wins.

    That was ugly. We'll never see Sao in the octogon again.

    Unanimous Decision for Liddell. Great fight.

    Chuck looked better then he has in a long time. Wandy looked good too, just overmatched. I'd love to see a rematch.

    Rematch or not, I hope Wandy fights in the UFC again. He may not be what he once was, but he's still got a lot left.

    It's amazing to me. All the training in different styles and camps from BJJ to wrestling to boxing to muay thai and still, all Wandy can do out there is stand there feet wide apart like a zombie throwing silly sloppy punches and showing no defense.:lol:
    Shot fighter completely. He's been done for over a year.

    He's got nothing left. He's shot. He won't beat anybody at 205. Both guys looked like crap. One worse than the other.

    Chuck is exactly what you saw in the Rampage and Jardine fights. He just has enough left to beat the shell of Wandy tonight. There was no real skill level displayed tonight. Both guys throwing sloppy silly punches.

    It was Chuck vs Wandy. What were you expecting, a submission clinic?

    Sao and Sanchez, they looked like crap. Chuck and Wandy went balls out for 3 rounds.

    Wandy may not be elite, but he showed he still has something left. More then I gave him credit for coming in. And while I don't think Liddell can beat Rampage, if he fought the way he fought tonight he'd kill Jardine, and he'd beat just about anyone in 205.

    I know you like to hate on the UFC and their 'house' fighters like Liddell, but gimme a break.
