    Did Shields look like a fish out water while standling with Daley? And seriously, how did Daley not see that arm bar attempt coming from a mile away? That looked like me lamely and slowly transititioning to an arm bar.

    Also, the Rua and Benji Radach first round was the best of 2008 in my opinion. Rua was nailed repeatedly but stayed composed and near the end of the round landed a shot that dropped Radach and forced Benji to hold for the remainder of the round. Great fight, but Rua's stand up is just plain bad.

    Radach vs Rua was pretty good. It sucks for Rua that he slipped and then got laid out, but he was getting smashed pretty good on the ground.

    Radach is a crowd pleasing above average fighter. These are the guys that Elite XC need to pushing. Benji should be in line for a fight with Lawler after Villasenor gets a crack.
