[…] For example, the UFC often hands out extra cash for “Fight of the Night,” “Knockout of the Night” and “Submission of the Night.” To check out these figures for UFC 81 go here. […]

I agree, Boetch all the way, especially since he was brought in on short notice to give Heath (the supposed slugger) a win vs. an easy target. I disagree with Lytle winning KO of the night. Who did he KO? I would have been surprised if he didn’t KO Bradley. It was a mismatch.

Boetsch should have gotten the ko of the night with that throw. I laughed so hard after i rewatched it.

Tyson Griffin should have won “worst fight of the night.” That fight was awful. I thought it was a really bad omen for the rest of the night but things ended up turning out pretty well.[/quote]

no the rob emerson fight was worse. i literally fell asleep during it.

Absolutely and I am ashamed to say that I had never even heard the freakin’ guy. What’s his story?[/quote]
They were saying the Boetsch was a wrestler. Well, he sure looked like a great striker to me with nice knees and kicks. I can’t believe he’s 27, he looks really old. I’d like to see him vs the winner of Alexander and Irvin.

[quote comment=”292921″]I think KO should have easily gone to Boetch!!! that was crazy how he stepped in and dismissed Heath![/quote]
He just flung him onto his head, lol. I don’t know why heath just stayed on all fours and didn’t cover up. I though maybe he snapped his neck.

I like Boetsch he may well be my new fav. What a toss and That could have been the ko of the night too. The guy was out on all fours.

It was BS how Lesnar got stood up and the point deducted. Really though dont turn your back when your getting your face beat in DEFEND.

I was happy with Mir winning though and think Lesnar needs to be a bit more Methodical.

I give the whole night a 8/10.

Big nog is just a tough as nails guy.
Hmmmm… I wonder what the next matchups will be in the HW Division.

Brock vs Cro-cop
Nog vs Werdum
Mir vs Kongo
Gonzaga vs Herring
Arlovski vs Boetsch

Can you imagine if Randy could negotiate a contract to fight NOG and tie it in with an obligatory $$$ the ufc could throw out to Fedor. Really though Randy vs Nog would be interesting and Randy would win via Decision.
Its just gotta force the UFC to open its wallet, too bad the UFC wouldnt make a PPV that was a Charity Donation ( They could have done it for Hurricane Katrina) what a shot in the arm for the organization that would be… You dont see the NHL/NBA or any other big multi-million dollar sport. And each fighter could fight for thier charity… What an opportunity. Just make sure the $$$ taken in covers the cost of the show and the rest goes to a super huge relief fund.

Could you imagine it… It would be a bunch of the middle of the road guys that you want to put into it from the ufcs stand point so it doesnt kill other ppvs down the road.

i figure the ufc puts lytle vs davis next(hopefully). both fight to knock prople out or submit them. would definately be a huge draw
