It would be nice to see Vera win. but it aint gonna happen.

[TripleDigitRide]

Fairly decent fights so far.

That was a beat-down by Bisping

Bisping is probably my least favorite fighter in the UFC with Tito a close 2nd

And the Main Event was by far the most boring fight of the night.

[Daniel]

The decisions lately in UFC have not been accurate IMO.

Exactly and what the hell was up with that decision, Randy pretty much did a lay and pray, no damage, barely and punches of anything. just hold the guy against the fence and nothing else, hell he was even taken down and mounted.

Makes you wonder what the judges were watching

Its called OCTOGON CONTROL...and he escaped from everything Vera did on the ground. Vera got out pointed...plain and simple...Coutour took him out of his game plan.

[mk19]

yeah but ocatogon control is not the only thing that is being judged. number of strikes and damage is also being counted. Randy was not trying to finish the fight.

[et45]

They all pale in comparison to Fedor.

[Daniel]

to bad fedor doesnt want to fight the best in the world.

It was an incredibly boring main event, but I don't think it was a bad decision. Couture controlled the pace, had 1 takedown, and scored a few decent punches. Vera landed two kicks, maybe one decent punch, and had one takedown. I thought, before the decision was announced, that it should either be 29-29(1 round each and one round even) or Couture should win 29-28. I don't see how the judges could have given the fight to Vera based pretty much entirely on his having landed two good body kicks. Quite frankly, I don't think either of them fought to win, they both fought to not lose.

I would love to see open handed striking brought back to the UFC. Get back a little of the old school stuff.
