Sounds like I should delete the whole thing from my DVR.

I was actually a better card then most PPV's. The only fight that really sucked was the main event.

The couple fights I did watch, were pretty good.  Watching Koscheck get knocked out was a good time.

Well I'm starting to get excited about seeing Rampage knock out Jardine in person.   The last show I went to was awesome and for some reason there were large empty areas of seats so we moved down to like 15 rows up and got to meet Leben who was sitting in the crowd after his match.

I laffed.

The undercard on this one is pretty thin.  I'm probably gonna pass on ordering unless one of my buddies decides they want to split the cost.

I'm almost more excited about the Carwin/Gonzaga fight, than I am the Rampage/Jardine fight.

Is Rampage a really heavy favorite? My gut feeling was that he would win, but Jardine can pull some surprise victories out of his ass sometimes.

I'm sure he is the favorite but I don't know the odds. After seeing how focused he was against Silva I think that the Wolfslair is the best place for him.  It easy to see that his conditioning is much better.   I think he wins this one easily.

I was actually really happy with this show.  While the first fight (not televised) was called waaaaaaaayyyy to early and Matt Brown's fight was called waaaaayyyyy to late ( The dude was out on his feet for a minute and a half while Matt Brown was just wailing on him and then looking up to the ref for him to stop it) the rest of the fights were awesome.  Matt Hamill keeps getting more impresive.  The dude he was fighting had no idea the high kick was coming and was knocked out cold.  The crowd went nuts for Hamill ( he came out to Hang on Sloopy and wore a shirt made to look like a Buckeyes jersey) and he really delivered.  Dana's going to have to give him Bisbing again because that fight was bunk.   We were really surprised at Jackson.  Jardine had a good game plan and was dancing in and out but Rampage had him hurt seven or eight times and never finished. Just expected more out of him.

 [clap] To hamill, that guy gets better and better, i think i was too drunk to realize that gonzaga fight was on. I did watch Jardine and Jackson though and boy can jardine take a hit, if he  had better training, he could take on jackson easily, that dude has an IRON jaw.

Considering the Gonzaga fight lasted all of 45 seconds you didn't miss much.  The exchanged for a little and then Carwin caught him with a left cross that dropped him instantly.

Carwin looked really good.  He is the guy that the UFC is grooming to take on Lesnar after he beats down Mir.  Sucks this fight is not happening in May because Mir got hurt.

Well Metal, since you wen to the fight..I thought I'd give you a chance to comment first on the fight.   ;)

I haven't even looked at the results.  So Gonzaga got knocked out?!  I don't really care for him too much so that cracks me up!   [laugh]

Looks like I'll have to tune into the web for clips.  Sounds like there was still some good action.

If I were you I would check out the Hamill, Matt Brown, and Gonzaga fights.  The Rampage/Jardine fight really wasn't great.  Rashad did get in the ring and jaw a little with Rampage after his fight so I would check that out too.

Are you kidding?  That was a great fight, both as a stylistic matchup and as a technical bout.

The Brandon Vera fight was awesome!  Low kicks for the win.

I didn't think either of those fights were good.

Both Vera and Jackson could have pushed and knocked out their opponents and didn't


Do you really like to see a fight stopped because of leg kicks?  Brandon Vera has fallen a long way.
