i thought davies fought dishonestly and not in accordance with the verbal agreement him and lytle had which was “to have a stand-up war” not “to dance away and counter-strike” — now don’t get me wrong, i thought it was an absolutely silly thing to agree on in an MMA fight anyways, but counterpunching is as big a deviance from “a stand-up war” as takedowns are IMO — lytle looked confused and tried his best to engage while at the same time refraining from the takedown, it made for a very weird fight

the shogun/coleman fight was absolutely atrocious and painful to watch — they should feed someone with absolutely no takedown defense to coleman in a retirment bout

franklin/hendo went exactly as i predicted… and the MW-division is in dire need of hendo right now too, so the outcome was for the best

overall a decent card, above average but lacking that something extra… i’d give it a 6 out of 10

Pretty average card…not that I expected any more.

I’m not going to pass my judgment on Shogun just yet…after all he’s coming back after a series of injuries. I’m just glad to see him back. Liddell vs Shogun should be a great fight.

Kang. Another Pride fighter. Another disappointment. Its like a curse or something. Belcher got lucky with that guillotine. And yeah I couldn’t wait for Rogan to snatch that microphone from his hands.

Franklin would have won if this was a 5 round fight. Dan did nothing apart from those quick shots early on. Franklin got headbutted, poked in the eye …Hendo didn’t look impressive at all. Bisping will run though him. It worked out pretty well though. I’d rather see a new coach in TUF.

Yea, I forgot all about the headbutt and eyepokes from Henderson..

The card was ok at best. I wish I had watched it on channelsurfing instead of ordering it.
Lytle/Davis wasn’t the war I was hoping it to be (like a Gotti/Ward type war). At one point I thought I was watching Starnes/Quarry by the way Davis was back peddling.
  
I picked Belcher to win, although I thought it would be by TKO. The last two guys Kang has beaten were C class at best. When he’s not trying to show off, Belcher is someone to not underestimate. He does have great Muay Thai, and he also showed some pretty good defense on the ground this fight. IMO, he should have TKO’d Herman in his last fight, but wasnt listening to Clementi causing him to go the distance. I say give Kang either Kendal Grove or Herman next. if he loses, send him packing. Give Belcher Leben (not sure when he comes off suspension), Dollaway, or Amir and see how he does against another young up and comer.

I think Palhares did pretty good against Horn, considering he was fighting for most of the fight with a broken hand and the fact that Horn is 6 inches taller than him. I was hoping for that guy to pull out a sick submission. They need to never put a guy like Horn on a PPV main card again or any UFC event for that matter. They guy is done and way pat his prime. It was pretty laughable how Rogan was swinging from Horn’s nuts

Im a big Shogun fan, but I was extremely disapointed with his performance. He should have TKO’d Coleman in the first. Dude needs a cardio transplant or something. I really think he should work with either GSP, Sherk or Team Jackson on his cardio. I’m not giving up on him yet. He’s young and I know what he is capable of. As for Coleman, there is not much that needs to be said. Maybe bring back Shamrock for a one fight deal and have them fight? I have no clue what Dana or Silva was thinking when they were going to put Coleman against Lesnar. That almost seemed like a conspiracy to commit murder.

Franklin/Henderson was the only fight I didnt pick the correct outcome. I have no clue how one of the judges gave Franklin a 30-27 score. Im glad the two other judges were watching the fight. Anyway, I gave Hendo the first two rounds, and Rich the third. Is it true you dont get time for a poked eye? I was like “Here we go again” when Miragliotta told Franklin that then Ratner told him he gets 2 minutes. I was under the impression that he got five.

Overall, I give this show a 5.5 to a 6. Hopefully Penn/GSP wont disappoint.

my fault man, in-laws popped up unexpected so I didn’t have time to do a write up

and as far as 93, I can’t be disappointed because I saw it for free but it was lacking…and the only excitement in the Coleman/Shogun fight was the thought of who would stumble to the mat in exhaustion first…it was one of the most hilarious and sad fights to watch

Henderson/Franklin went almost exactly how I thought, just thought Hendo would wanna try and stand and bang a lil more in the 2nd…it shows how good both are when the only real damage were two unintentional illegal blows….neither looked to be in any danger throughout the whole fight, I don’t think Rich can really feel defeated, he takes an L but gets to stay at 205 and doesn’t have to do TUF
