    Davis v Hardy just finished, i don't think i've ever been so annoyed after a fight. It was close, i just wanted Davis to shut that little **** up!

    Yea I was sickened with that decision. Marcus seemed tense during the fight, shouldn't have let Hardy get to him mentally the way he did

    Yeah you're right. It was all on that big elbow i think. It was 1-1 with Marcus controlling the 3rd until approx 2:20. Then everything went belly up!

    Good win for Crocop. Pity about the eye poke, kinda takes the shine off it. He had Al-turk rocked anyway. Crocop looked very dangerous in there, hope he goes on to bigger and better things in the UFC from here

    I agree, it's not a great card at all!

    Al Turk is a disgrace to the UFC. The guy is embarrassing. He moves like Frankenstein. These guys are supposed to be Mixed Martial Artists.

    COME ON VALASQUEZ!!

    Valasquez is killing him. But how many times can you mount and not finish a fight. But he's starting every round well. But he's gassed

    Valasquez ground and pound is like Nick Diaz's stand up.

    I think with a better game and a longer training camp Kongo could have taken it.

    I'm very surprised Cain couldn't finish the fight with all the ground control he had. Congo took a big beating though, he got messed up. Surprised how bad his defensive ground game was.

    Kingo looked close to being finished at the end of the 3rd.

    Really disappointing card and as exciting and the UFC wanna tell people this fight is going to be, it's gonna be either....

    1) Rich connects, Wanderlei goes to sleep

    2) Wandi connects, Rich shakes it off, takes Wando down, drunk Germans boo alot.............

    :(

    How unbelievable is it that Rich is 2 years older that Wandi?

    This fight would be so exciting if these guys werent so tired.

    I wonder is Franklin seill doing that crazy workout with that nut case Vietnam Vet? If not maybe he needs to go back!

    Wandi had to cut 12 lbs yesterday, terrible!

    damn what happened to this card!! it looked real good on paper..

    Davies v hardy didnt really live up to the hype.. It was close though and could have gone either way.. Judged under the ufc scoring criteria I think Davies edged it..

    Uno v Fisher was really boring.

    Wanderlei looked shot. He hasnt been the same fighter since the owgp. I still think he won the fight though.

    Cain v Kongo was the one saving grace for me on this card. An exciting fight with alot of heart and different skills shown.

    This card really pales in comparison to the last wec event and strikeforce..

    Very disappointing card alright. Maybe I was expecting too much from it.
    I wonder though, if Davis had smashed Hardy in the opening fight, would it have made for a more enjoyable night as a whole?

    Yeah I think that one elbow and the fact that Davis' nose pumped blood after it basically won Hardy the fight. All the blood swayed the judges I think.

    I had it level going into the final round but I still had Davis just about edging the last round. He knocked Hardy down early and then tried about 4 or 5 sub attempts in a row with Hardy defending desperately. Hardy got on top then for the final 2 minutes and landed that one big elbow that got him the decision.

    That said it was such a close fight it's hard to complain about the decision. Could have gone either way.

    Am I the only one glad that Hardy won? I really dont like Marcus Davis. There is just something about him that irritates me.

    That was Stefan Struve. He was the one that left all the blood in the ring, he got big cut in round one but came back to win the fight in round 2 (It was one of the best comebacks ever) the crowd went crazy as did I.
