The opening fight was perfect for the first fight of the night. Ross Pearson was a beast but Siver fared better than I thought he would. Really entertaining. Gomi is just done as far as competing at the top. There's a lot of Florian hype going around right now and a lot of comments about him being a better fighter than the one that fought BJ, but he was this good then too. The simple truth is that he's still not on the level of BJ Penn. Poor Quarry. I thought he'd blast Rivera and boy was I wrong. Rivera is decent don't get me wrong but that should be a wake up call to Quarry. It was a decent show. The opening fight was perfect for the first fight of the night.

That was a nice overhand. I figured he'd catch Struve here and there but I didn't think it'd be "lights out!" that quickly. Florian continues his road back, while Gomi continues his struggles; but the biggest impression I got here was from Rivera -- wow, he looks like a new man! Pretty good stuff from this UFC. It was almost all standup action, and I'd like at least some groundwork here and there -- but hey, it was good standup. I can't complain about this. Yeah, Nelson is a bad dude.

I misplaced my faith in Struve, while you 2 were too keen on Quarry. Gomi's cardio looked better than it has done recently, but he needs to disguise those big haymakers a little better. Maybe he could take a lesson from Florian and set things up with the jab a little more. Big Country has heavier hands then first thought... and people appear to be clamouring for his title shot already. Make him beat someone who's a top 5 Heavyweight then I'll listen.
