Like it or not, Mir lasted longer and got in more strikes than Cain did against JDS. BTW I was rooting for Cain in that fight against JDS.

And how afterwards he was like a real life punching bag. I really wanted to see him take jds down, that woulda solidified JDS in my mind, he is a brown belt in bjj. But his stand up is so nasty i don't know if i'll ever see it. He works on his boxing but says he spends more time nowadays on bjj.

I hear ya !
The night of the heavyweights was awesome. Those big guys brought it. Only thing was they had to replay the prelims to fill the time and it still was over sooner than normal.

It wasn't that bad. He had the single going but I did LOL during the trip attempt of JDS left foot. I've tried it during practice but going for the trip is difficult while trying to hold up the other persons weight. Mir had a decent attempt....he stood with him for 2 rounds, landed good leg kicks and a couple jabs. His strategy wasn't bad, if the takedown fails wait awhile before trying another. But, he should have only waited half a round. But I agree, he wasn't ready for that fight. I want to see him fight struve or hunt next.

I would have thought that he would kept trying for a takedown since he was getting his ass kicked standing up. I guess when he got his bell rung the first time he forgot all about it.....

So who wins in the JDS/Cain rematch? Cain was reportedly hurt before he went into that fight, but toughed it out so as not to fuck up the UFC's Fox debut, so will a healthy Cain do any better against dos Santos?

He looked pretty good against Silva so lets hope he can do better next time. I thought he would have done better than he did last time, hurt or not.

dont get me wrong cains a good fighter, but silva sucks.. way overated, should have nvr been in there w cain.. just made him look like a monster, plus u cant miss that big ass head..
i think dana just wants cain to be the champ for stealing mexican fans from boxing, they already got weenie anderson to bring in the brazilian fans promotion 2 isnt gonna help them much..

i think the second fight will be as hard to call as the first one to be honest.... i picked dos santos by a hair last time... but i didnt think hed ko him... gotta pick jds again... he gets more confident with every fight and cain will over extend himself in the second one because he believes that staying on the outside lost him the first fight... rushing in on jds might work... but jds has such great footwork power and speed that i think cain will eat an uppercut and eat some mat.

Sonnen gotem in the first round. Second round Chael did some spinning shit and got caught. Anderson may have won, but Chael caused the loss. If he stuck to his fucking game plan, the second round would have went to the third round and so on. NOT MAKING EXCUSES, but Sonned changed the game plan in the second round and it fucked him in the ass. Fucking dumb ass.

I'd like to add that it was an early stoppage. Just for the mere fact it was a championship fight and that there was a lot bad blood. I mean, if you saw the Pat Berry/ Kongo fight, you'd say the same thing also. Chael wasn't even HURT FOR FUCKS SAKE.

The way I see it from here on out...Hendo beats Jones...MAAAYYYBE goes down to middle-weight and fights Silva.

There is no challenge left for him at MW, and Dan was given a choice of Jones or Silva and he chose Jones.

You gotta hand it to Chael though. Despite Anderson being ready for him, Chael took him down. Chael just got too careless at the end with the spinning shit. Otherwise, Anderson did NOT get him face to face.

Sonnen just got unlucky. The spinning back fist was a bad idea, and he was near the fence so he couldn't scoot back and stand up. Also an EXTREMELY early stoppage for a main event title fight. Not to mention silva did grab the shorts, and the knee was still illegal. It hit the face then moved down and hit the body. I'm suprised no one mentioned the grease at the beggining. Dirty and sketchy joint. Whole card was nearly as dissapointing as 119.

No way Hendo beats Jones. Suprised he didn't take the Silva fight.

The end seemed kinda shady to me. Silva's knee was obviously to the head and was blocked by Sonnen's forearms and, like you said , slid down to the body.

Joe Rogan kept making it a point to say "knee to the body' "knee to the body" and the ref dint say shit, they never showed the blow or whatever it was that caused Chael to go down/stay down. He just kinda fell after that spinning back fist and gave up. He might've been winded but I'm starting to think this shits setup same way as wwe sometimes and this was one of those times. Chael's a tough fucker. Went in, gave a few lumps, took a few, and then took a dive..........maybe?
