I really think Riggs deserves this to prove hes on the top of the food chain and will always be an a- or so ufc fighter. Best of luck to Riggs though that guy fights like theres no tomarrow... riggs has a vendetta, since he stepped down from his midleweight bout (there by forfeiting the title) to fight Chris Lights out Lytle in UFC.

[/quote] Ha, yeah Frankie got submitted by the microphone again last night. He lost his train of thought in one of his pre-fight commentaries and his partner bailed him out. He still has some work there but DURING the fights he really stands out. I only recall one error during play-by-play the whole night (he said a fighter "gave up his back" but the guy was on his back and had let the other guy get a full mount). Mir's strength is recognizing technique and thinking out loud during the bout. I think they could use a third guy in the booth to help on the commentary. An old semi-retired fighter like Don Frye, Ken Shamrock or Bas Rutton. Unfortunately all the guys I can think of are coaching in the IFL.[/quote] There was a few blunders lastnight, the play by play announcer had like 3, the ring announcer dropped the cards and had another. Mir is doing a good job, but needs to stop sounding like he is reading from cards when he walks into the ring.

I truely believe the Mayhem belongs back in the UFC, especially since he is now fighting at 185. He got beat up for 3 rounds against GSP as a WW. The MW division is so lacking, and Miller has a ton of personality and charisma. He belongs. Sign him already. I really hope Mayhem beat Riggs up.

He showed almost no offense but he's definately a crazy character and a tough dude. The only Miller fight I saw was the fight against GSP.

I think it's a great idea to have an organization to test up and coming fighters and to give down on their luck UFC veterans a place to brawl when they maybe aren't up to the top competition, but still remain entertaining fighters people want to watch. However, with the addition of Paulo and looking at the skill-sets of people like Faber and the rest of their "A" team fighters, it looks like Dana truly is trying to make it stand on it's own. Understandable, but I just love my FREE MMA and hope that the WEC continues with the trend of televising the WEC events on Versus, rather than PPV. Also agree with the earlier comment about Frank being a fantastic commentator. He may be questionable in the octagon now, but he has a really bright future outside the cage as a commentator.
