But agreed, that card was the biggest waste of time and money this year. When are they going to be rid of Karo and his whiney ass and his pathetic excuses... Doesn't he know he's in the UFC? Great at throws, but they don't typically end fights unless you drop them on their heads (ala Matt Hughes) - Get a tooth Karo!

The kid is an absolutely dominating wrestler, and we all saw that in his fight with Tyson Griffin. But watch him throw punches, too. He is very technical with his striking, which is unusual in a wrestler, much less a UFC fighter. Best of all, he doesn't run or turn away when he gets hit, like many fighters do. I knew Frankie Edgar would destroy Fisher from the get go, and I was surprised so many people were betting against him. Edgar's the next big thing in the lightweight division. I bet he could even beat up Joe Stevenson. I'm not prepared to say he could beat BJ Penn, though. Anyway, start watching this kid, I see tons of potential in him.

Silva did a good job running away from Alexander and weathering the storm until he could get him on the ground and execute his skills on the weaker grappler. Herman looked good KO'ing a bottom 20 MW. Edgar showed that he's no fluke, Fisher showed he needs to watch more tapes of these new LW's and take them more seriously. I knew the Parisyan would take the fight to the judges yet again. I love Lytle's switch to an aggressive stance and bringing it to his opponent. He should have won that fight but the doctor seems to think very differently. Gono and Lauzon executed some fast submissions, very nice. Jesse Holland did a great piece, keep up the good work. Evans/Bisping went exactly how everyone predicted.

GREAT job standing fighters up the whole night... I was REALLY impressed (then again, they ref a lot of MMA fights, just not the UFC.)
