“El Matador,” of course, is fresh off his first loss inside the Octagon against Kenny Florian last month at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” — a tough unanimous decision defeat that put his immediate title shot hopes on temporary hold.

Jordan Breen at Sherdog.com sees no harm:
“You can’t throw up a post-fight fist pump without punching another elite level MMA fighter with a post-fight trademark. Chuck Liddell screams. Takanori Gomi surfs on the turnbuckle, and Eddie Alvarez back-flips off of it. Thiago Silva and Josh Barnett have the market cornered on throat slashing. Yushin Okami […]
