lame fight. Evans gets smoked by Shogun.

[Titanss]

look forward to the A-Team anyway Rampage

[bechyni]

"I didn't have a game plan" no shit you didn't do anything past that first round punch

[Yangsing]

Yeah...wtf is up with 3 rounds. Boring fight. Evans was waiting to get knocked out in the third.

[AidenCarby]

Good thing were not paying for this shit.

No kidding.

The last Anderson Silva fight was more entertaining.

There were a lot of good fights tonight... Just not the main or co main event.

You just can't beat Cage n' Pray it seems.

while similar to couture v vera, tonights fight was a fucking CARBON COPY of rashad vs silva from january. jesus fuck why cant these people finish him off when they rock him in the third. shogun is going to have a field day with him

[Tekki]

im so bothered over this fight for obvious reasons. if this was a 5 round title fight, rashad wouldn't have the same "strategy"

the entire time i wanted dana to walk in the ring and scream at rashad "go after him like you said you would pussy"

shogun is going to slaughter rashad. i was told that fight will be indy. so ill be there to see it.

Mike Russow using the Homer boxing technique to wear out Duffee, was the funniest thing ive ever seen. That hammerfist at the end gets me every time.

I hope his nickname changes to Homer.

Seriously, I think the real answer is 9-9... And Brillz wins because he's going to get some kind of contract in the future. No question.)

Surprised none of the enthusiasts haven't corrected you on this yet. The UFC uses a 10-point must scoring system, so unless someone gets a point deducted for an illegal technique, every round's going to be 10-something. In the case of a tie, a round is declared 10-10.

almost said something earlier, but didn't think it was worth the time to correct. lol

i really don't know why so many people are down on this show, was a pretty good card top to bottom. rampage v rashad was a little disappointing but not unexpected. rampage needs to work some more on his takedown defense and his clinch work. stun gun still looks like a beast. gotta think he'll get a tough fight next.

[archibaldcrane]

Finally watched the Stun Gun fight. A little disappointed he didn't try more ruthless GnP (read: 400 elbows), seemed content to just improve his position and hold Amir down. Nice takedowns though, I love watching Judo guys work.

I do wonder who is next for him - that undefeated record is always a nice selling point.

Daley would have been a great match up stylistically. Kos/Alves/Fitch/ are too far out of his league at the moment. I'm assuming something like Swick, Nate Diaz or the winner of Condit/MacDonald.

[archibaldcrane]

Bleh.

Whatever. There was alcohol involved that night.

Blah blah blah, should have been a tie, blah blah blah.

Overeem v Badr Hari in a MMA fight at Dream 15, July 10th.

Interesting.
