I don't do it often so I had to think long and hard before shelling out the $$$ for that pay per view. Here are some quick recap thoughts for those of you that didn't get to catch the fights.
Wanderlei and Rampage were just feelin each other out, just gettin juiced up to throw bombs when all of the sudden Rampage landed the most solid left hook I have eveb seen. Wanderlei was out before he hit the canvas. No joke, I thunk him dead. I love both fighters win lose or draw.
Griffin was in control of the entire fight. Granted he was just pulling off leg kicks, but they were freakin workin and Rashad did not know how to get inside. The fight ended suddenly when Rashad broke Griffin's guard and hammer fisted / ground n pounded him to death. It was ugly to watch. I love Griffin but he needs more to his game. Toughness alone won't get it done. Don't like Rashad but if he changed his cocky attitute I would.
Nogueira was on his bike the whole time trying to deal with Mirs greatly improved stand up. Nog looked like he wanted this fight on the ground (but no where else?). Mir looked sharp, Mir looked motivated, Mir whooped his ass. For the Nog lovers, it was very hard to watch him get knocked down that many times. Mir was respectful in victory. I like him, he is really growing on me. I will always love Nog but maybe time to stick to coaching?
I'm not much of a recap guy, so if anyone wants more specifics just ask.
....Mir V. Lesnar should be a national holiday, it will be in this house!
