So, once again the UFC has hyped the main event way beyond reason. Still, the card looked good overall and needed watching. I was most thrilled for the Machida - Silva and GSP - Penn fights.

It was OK, in my opinion. Not as good as Affliction 2, but still quite acceptable. I haven’t seen any of the prelims, unfortunately, so my input will be limited to the main card.

Holy crap on a crucifix! That was one brilliant performance by Machida. I never understood people whining about him being boring, as his technical superiority is exciting to me. Also impressive was GSP’s dominance, slightly tarnished by the vaseline complaints from BJ’s team. I’m not sure what to make of it, if anything, though I’d be sad to learn there’s anything to it.

Floor’s open.

Dagnabbit! I looked for a thread, but your title must’ve been too long (yeah, it’s your fault!) for me to see it.

Fine, I’ll migrate.
