    I love Nog and Couture, but I'm glad Nog won. He's such a classy guy.

    Main event was all kinds of awesome. First round was just utterly fantastic.

    Silva was awesome and so was Aaron Simpson - that guy looks amazingly fast and athletic. Felt sorry for his opponent who had a bad knee injury; one thing you can say, tough as nails.

    Wanted Couture to win but wasn't to be. He's a great fighter and in phenomenal shape for a 46 year old. Personally think Couture should drop down a weight, reckon he'd cause a stir.

    Most exciting main / HW event in recent memory imo.

    This is the fight we should have seen months ago for the undisputed championship.

    Glad to see Brandon Vera get a win too , he looked good.

    Excellent main event, going for Nog the whole ime and beaming that he won! He should rematch against Mir and I would love to see him against Lesnar!!!

    A boy da Big Nog!!!

    Nog V Mir would be an incredible match if NOG is fit :).

    Glad to see Nog looking better but he still looks to be very worn down, he was slow moving about the ring and ate a lot of shots from Randy, a lot of which he didn't seem to see coming.

    I guess Brock was more or less right about Mir having a shoe up his ass after last night.

    That was so great. Nogueira is my hero. As soon as the fight started I was praying for him to win. I think that the only thing next for him is to fight the winner of Brock/Carwin

    Poor Maia. Trying to copy Arlovski :pac:

    I think that he was going faster because the first few fights were decisions, so they had to make sure that they had enough time to squeeze in all the prelims before the main card started. He read out the scoring for the first couple of decisions but not the third one

    Christ but that main event was a great fight. Very exciting stuff indeed.Every resaon why i love to watch MMA was in that fight.

    Feel bad for Maia, he looked a bit stuned and out of it after that big shot. Fair play to Nate for not piling into him on the ground.

    I don't think this will derail Maia too much, if at all, he just needs to bring up his stand up game to the point where he can hang with people and wait for his chance.

    NOG V Brock should be a great fight...one to look forward to.

    Brock for me.

    Any news on when Cain Velasquez is next fighting ? What about Jon Jones ? I love that guys fighting style, reminds me of street fighter watching him.

    Great night of fights. Very good show. Have to admit to being a bit upset for Demian Maia...Really like the guy and his attitude, was obviously an exciting "finish" (start/finish) but we didn't get to see the chess battle I had hoped for.

    On a side note, took Mr Power to the cleaners (;)) with Big Nog to win and T Silva to win by KO...Nice:pac:

    wow. that main event may have been the best MMA fight i've seen this year!

    Only disappointment was the early finish in the Marquardt/maia fight - was looking forward to seeing a bit more of those two.

    Vera looked good, toyed with kristoff. the first liver kick and knee to the midsection were sick.

    Be interesting to see how Duffee progresses, serious KO power. Could pose problems for anyone in the HW div.

    Very very enjoyable show. Well worth staying up for.

    I too felt bad for Maia and was shocked it was over so quickly, Nate earned alot of respect from me for not going for another shot while he was on the ground, classy.

    Randy vs Minotauro was exactley what i hoped it would be, so entertaining. I think i said on 4 different occasions "Its over!" only for Randy to somehow get out of it. What a competitor.

    Thiago Silva looked very impressive in his win, rising star.

    Altogether a very enjoyable event.

    Couture-V-Nogueira was brilliant, not one boring bit. Would feel a little ripped if I went to see it though, a few quick fights.

    Had €25 double on Nog and Silva. Both of them underdogs.
    Makes up for my loss on Griffin at 101.

    Nog, what a legend. I guarantee you that when fully fit he would DESTROY Mir (sorry Bishy but this is true ;))

    Nate Marquardt was very classy in pretty much calling the fight himself. Nice to see he hasn't been training with Dan Henderson!

    Thats the question isn't it, or rather he's as the close as the ufc have to fedor at the moment in terms of style , experience , age ?? One id like to see for sure.

    Brock could clearly be seen cage side cheering for randy.

    Acording to Joe Rogan Brock was shouting instructions at Randy.

    Yeah, you could see him shouting at him at the end when Randy was stuck in guard

    Do you honestly think that 7 seconds showed us anything?
    I'd never say somebody has "serious KO power" based on one punch/fight. esp at heavyweight.
