I'd still not give the mittens by Bisping that round, and I'd go 10-8 for that knee in the third.

There's not much in the UFC these days holding my attention. Jones vs DC II, and Holm vs Tate then we'll see where I'm at. Punk loses his only fight eventually.

i wouldnt be surprised if punk never even fought, honestly. but yea, if he fights gall, he loses. i still watch the sport, but im not die hard invested in it anymore. i happened to wake up at 3:50 today, so i put the main card on, but if i had slept through it, id have just read the results and found the good fights later. which really, only the 1st round of pickett/rivera, and the entire silva/bisping fight, were worth watching on the main card. mousasi picked apart leites, it was a clinic, but it wasnt a very entertaining clinic.

I know, the golden age has long gone and there aren't guys that will dominate for 5+ years in this new batch and the young guys get overhyped.

Just like so many guys in the draft. Good luck to the one drafting "Bismarck".....He suck. And I really mean suck...

I do enjoy Stephen Thompson though, I think he's currently my favourite fighter so I hope he goes on a lengthy tear.

Sage Northcutt is young but dude reminds me of a bad Canadian Pop Band B4-4...

whats more of a guarantee... the sun rising every morning, or every time joe rogan says "hes in a lot of trouble here!", the guy escapes the submission within 4 seconds?

great reffing by miragliotta, in comparison to the past couple cards. akhmedov only ate like 25 unanswered and unprotected shots, as opposed to the 8000 lombard ate vs magny two cards back. good job dan!

So with The Chose One winning the Welterweight title last night the UFC has had 7 title changes in the past year, which is a big deal for a lot of people apparently but I think it has to do with the quality of the fighters.

Holly Holm went out and destroyed Rousey, but then dropped it to Tate in a fight she was winning, because you know... last minute subs and everything. Once Tate won it, I knew she'd be a one and done champion. Other than Rousey or Cyborg and Joanna Champion, I think most women's MMA right now is shallow.

The Middleweight division can be argued as being shallow as well, once Silva's reign was done I didn't think there was an elite champion in the division. Weidman is good, but he was never going to go on the same streak Silva had. Bisping may very well drop it to Henderson and the hot potatoing will go on.

I think it's just to be expected. As soon as Cormier meets a guy he can't take down with good striking, he's going to let the title slip.
