    really intrigued by the Mir- DC matchup. I like Mir's chances unless DC catches him.

    ^ Will probably be something like DC/Barnett, with DC avoiding takedowns and landing punches, except that Mir will be strawberried and KO'd in the first or second round.

    Clay Guida is out injured, replacement to fight Mendes being sought. Mendes seems to make a lot of guys drop out...

    Seems fitting that a Diaz brother is on this card.

    May be his turn to coach TUF. Not much out there past Gil. Bendo/Aldo? Aldo wants to move up, supposing he can get past Pettis.

    Dan Hardy is injured and off this card. Jordan Young Gun Mein will take on Matt Brown instead. Both guys are all-in type fighters so it should be a brawl.

    Nate Diaz is going back up to welterweight win or lose tomorrow night regardless of how Melendez does. Bad choice?

    Team Alpha Male with three knockout wins on the card. Combined with Urijah Faber's recent victory they are on a tear. Too bad it seems none of them are championship material.

    Surprised with the Carmont decision. Didn't see that fight going his way. That's two in a row for him that might be considered gifts.

    Disappointed in Jordan Mein. Nerves? When he was on the attack he was damaging Matt Brown. Seemed tentative. Slow starter I guess. Good lesson.

    Josh Thompson vs. Gilbert Melendez four on the way?

    Daniel Cormier's vaunted punching power has earned him to straight decisions over chinny heavyweights. Time to cut the baby fat.

    Not much to say about the main event. The champion doesn't have to win he just has to not lose. With the exception of only a few champions in the UFC, that's how it goes. Melendez did well (I didn't think he won) but should've been significantly more aggressive knowing that decisions normally favour the champ. Wonder what the Scrap Pack's excuse will be this time? Bad night for them.

    The scrap pack has been underwhelming in the ufc to say it nicely. Especially for how much shit they talk.

    Jordan Mein, Matt Brown, Yoel Romero, and Josh Thompson earned the $50,000 "of the night" bonuses.

    Would hazard a guess that all the guys on the card got some money for it being such a complete show.

    Ok, Mir/Cormier was boring. So was Carmont/Larkin. But otherwise, big night.
