    it's a shame that Tyson Griffin is so powerless, because he'd be a damn good fight if he had pop in his gloves

    yep

    He's an excellent fighter as it his, but he would be an all time great if he had 1 punch ko power.



    Let's see what triggonomics has left. Hope he wins

    indeed

    if you put filler, at least it should be exciting


    Cro cop dos Santos should be a great fight tough. Mirko should beat him pretty easily, but i think it will be a great action fight

    cro cop looks like an old scared man., He was calculating before, not he's gun shy.

    He should retire

    Crocop should plant his feet and punch with power and should also throw leg kicks. Now he's only trying to get lucky

    It's official, Crocop is done, he doesn't have the timing anymore

    ( BTW, I posted this at the end of the 2nd round )

    Dana will put some hype behind Vitor and he will have a title shot at 185 soon.:popcorn:

    yep, he looked awfull tonight, didn't put up a fight at all, and he arguably lost vs a dead W. Silva. The only time he impressed me was in his loss vs Hendo ( who is probably done too )

    indeed, the 185lbs division is starting to look pretty good with the recent addition of Akiyama and Belfort

    Tyson Griffin looked great! He is one of my favorite little guys to watch. Tough as hell and loved to get in the firefights.

    Fun watching Trigg get fucked up. I hate his cocky little poser ass.

    Poor Crocop. Its sad to see someone hit the wall so damn fast. He just seems to have lost a step, as well as that fire he used to have. He wasn't even striking with authority. 4 years ago that would have been an easy fight for him.

    I guess at 35 it should be expected. Well it was fun while it lasted. "I bet Lorenzo is feeling like a dipshit right now"

    Good job Vitor!! I love Vitor, always fun to watch and a true gamer. Even if it is against an overrated fighter in Franklin.

    That is a huge win for Belfort. Franklin is a tough guy as he showed in stand-up battles with Henderson and Wandy. The fact that Vitor finished him that quickly is impressive.

    Hell, stopping Lindland and Franklin in back-to-back fights is very impressive regardless of how lightly you regard either opponent. Both guys have shown the ability to take punishment over long careers.

    Vitor deserves to be mentioned among the top UFC guys between 185 and 205. Maybe someone can help me with where he's going to stick, MW or LHW?

    Middleweight. By the looks of things, Belfort-Silva is already in the works.

    Well, I am impressed with Belfort's two recent UFC wins, but there is no way he should jump Henderson or Marquardt. I know Nate and Dan represent rematches with Silva when the first fights weren't really close, but they have each done enough to earn a title shot.
