    I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this card, so many potential FOTNs (I'm guessing Thiago/Kampman). Hopefully 116 will be just as good.

    Average PPV.

    I thought Mirko's fight was the fight of the night. Main event being second.

    Awesome performance by Mirko though. Is this the last we'll see of Liddell?

    If Chuck ever fights again, it'll be outside the UFC. I don't see Dana giving him another fight unless its against Tito.

    He looked good with the kicks and wrestling. That might be the unluckiest thing that could ever happen to him. I thought he dominated Franklin up until that right landed. That was one lucky fuckin' punch.

    Great career Iceman. Please, stop fighting.

    Joe Rogan is an idiot, too.

    This was the last fight on Cro Cop's current contract but he expressed a desire to remain with the company and to keep fighting.

    Why can't Liddell keep fighting? Has he just lost it or something?

    Because in terms of age, Couture is 46, 6 years older than Liddell and still fights.

    His chin is gone. Physically, he looked great. But his speed is gone (fuck, I think even I could have ducked most of the punches he threw) and he can't take a punch anymore. That shot Franklin hit him with wasn't the most powerful shot, it was short and compact, split Chuck's lip in two, but it wasn't a punch that would KO Chuck in his prime.

    He needs to hang them up for his own health.

    It was sad to see Chuck come in in such great shape and then just get knocked out again. He looked so lean and I liked how he wasnt just throwing one type of strike (right hand). But man that punch knocked him out. No one looks better (or worse) then Chuck when he gets knocked out. Shogun, Rashad, Franklin, all knocked him out Ice cold. (Pardon the pun)

    I really feel bad for Chuck. I think his reflexes are gone. As much as I am a Chuck fan, I really hope he retires before he gets permanently injured.

    Sounds good.

    We might see Kampmann/Condit II as well.

    That's funny. I wonder how it would feel to knockout someone that you have always liked?
