Not much of a card. At least its free.

I see Bisping has retired back to England to fight. He should win that one if he still isnt feeling the effects of that brutal knockout by Hendo. Your right not much of a card, but at least its free.

I dont like Bisbing, but he looked pretty good against Kang. He came into the fight in great shape compared to what he normally looks like.
As for the Couture Vera fight I have no problem with Randy winning. I do have a problem with it being unamimous. This fight could have gone either way with either man getting the decision. You have to wonder what fight the judges are looking at sometimes.

^^^ I think they judges were looking at a UFC legend that is 46 years old fighting guys almost half his age, a 46 year old that can still throw down with the best of them. And Randy proved that defeating a guy not to long ago was the number one contender in his weight division. AND DID I MENTION THAT HE IS 46 YEARS OLD??

I like Randy but that decision sucked . Vera blocked what seemed like 100's of take down attempts , Randy was NEVER successful at what he wanted to do --He laid on Vera the whole fight. Vera was dumb for not breaking free , esp when he was not up against the cage . I just thought Vera landed the most effective and damaging blows. But everyone knew if it was close Capt America was getting the benefit of the doubt. Still sucked.


I was not that impressed with Dan Hardy , GSP will destroy him. MD

[bigtimehitter]

True. I also think that there isn't a fighter that fights in the welterweight class that GSP wouldn't destroy right now, the guy is a beast
