    I had like 12 people over, and I told them all before the decisions were handed out, that I thought it would be a draw. I had Hendo winning the first three rounds 10-9 each. Even though I felt he won the first round pretty unanimously, I didn't feel that it was a 10-8 caliber round. I had Shogun winning the 4th and 5th, the final round being 10-8. That said, I'm happy to see Henderson get the win, and can't wait to see him fight one of the champs. He got screwed over last UFC go around, when he beat Bisping and still didn't get his title shot. It was a fantastic fight, without question a fight of the year candidate.

    Loved seeing Wanderlei get a win over Cung Le. He came in with a great game plan, I especially liked how he would be patient, and wait for Cung Le to throw his crazy spin kicks and everything then attack during the kick. It was a game plan that no one else has really used against him, and it worked to perfection. He popped Le a few times during those kicks. I also don't think Cung Le did any cardio training at all, he was way too gassed at the end of 1.

    Urijah Faber looked good against a tough customer in Bowles. I know Bowles likes to stand and bang, but I'm thinking he needs to start using his wrestling background more and look for some ground and pound. Against guys like Faber and Cruz he is just too slow to win a standup fight against them.

    Overall, great night of fights, I'm glad I got this PPV card. It lived up to the hype for sure.

    Sounds to me like what Dana really meant to say was "I don't care about the fans that have been here from the beginning, because I'm going to get your money any how. All of my time and resources are going into getting new fans."

    The Bader fight was quick... punch behind the ear is the new black.

    Apparently the CSAC judges have never heard of a 10-8 round. If round 5 wasn't 10-8, what is?

    Rua reportedly suffered a broken jaw in the first half of the fight (Dan hits like a damn truck) but kept going, making the fight even more impressive considering.

    Hendo has to be one of the top 5 GOATS, right?

    You gotta think both Rua and Hendo cleared $1 million each for the epic performance they put on and leaving it all out there.

    Yeah including OTN bonuses. I guess since it was his home town and he might just be on a one- or two-fight deal they are giving him decent money. I would imagine most of the fighters on the card got a good bump in addition to those baseline pays.
