UFC 101 was a pretty rough night for Ultimate Fighters when you think about it. Also, I just realized -- I really should have mentioned Vernon Forrest's death among all the lousy things that happened in July... so, my apologies there. Yeah, Grove looked bad.

Almeida handled him pretty easily. Hopefully Grove is headed back to UFN cards where he belongs. Almeida handled him pretty easily.

Somehow I forgot how good a wrestler Kurt Pellegrino is, but other than that this show went down about how I expected. The guys at the top seem so far ahead of the pack right now. Florian's stall tactics didn't win him a round on my card and Silva/Griffin got a little embarassing. Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, yes, I'm ready to stop overrating Ricardo Almeida now. He was great in 2004, did enough to win last night, and is by all accounts a great guy; but is just nowhere near title contention.

I'm really looking forward to Kurt/Neer, which is rare for UFC undercards. Pretty much in line with what I have. I’m really looking forward to Kurt/Neer, which is rare for UFC undercards.
