    MacDonald needs to reassess. He hasn't looked himself in his last two fights. Competition has ramped up, though.

    Lawler vs. Woodley sounds tasty.

    Re: UFC 167: St-Pierre vs. Hendricks (Nov/16)

    Woodley looked impressive out there, a couple more wins against top 10 WW, will get him to title contention.

    Was it me or did Johny seem to decide he'd won the fight after his second round success and pretty much went on autopilot after that? Losing rounds 3 & 5 on all cards killed him.

    I think he is trying to emulate/carbon copy GSP game way too much. He needs a change of camp, or like you said reassess.

    Was that Koscheck's last fight?

    I think he won rounds 1 and 2, came out of round 3 kind of nonchalant and that hurt his image of looking "tired"

    It very well might be.

    For a card with 8/12 fights going to decision it didn't feel like it, did it? I mean it's pushing 1:30am now but it wasn't a slog.

    6/10 trending topics on Twitter are UFC 167. I have a feeling this event did big business.

    I think it was the entertainment factor for those fights. It definitely didn't feel like 3 rounds at all, wouldn't mind seeing 5 rounds for some of those fights.

    Anxious to see the post-fight presser to hear GSP elaboration on hanging up the gloves.

    Oh FFS, GSP isn't going to the presser he's going to the hospital. I guess clarification will have to wait. Sounded like he retired Lennox Lewis style but I dunno. No fighter ever seems to close the door on a return.

    The theory Helwani is floating is that GSP wanted to retire on a win but felt that the decision was so close that it would be disrespectful to Hendricks to do so. If it had've been a clear win and he was clear-headed he would've retired for real. What he said tonight was a way to keep a rematch as a possibility while stepping away for a year or longer. Sounds plausible?

    Lost in all of this was a truly special performance by Donald Cerrone. Kind of crazy that he's going down to featherweight when he can steam roll a good lightweight like Evan Dunham. I don't like his chances against Mendes, Edgar or Lentz but fights with Korean Zombie, Poirier, Koch, Lamas, and Aldo would be sweet.

    Almost certain GSP will return to the octagon, will be absolutely shocked if it indeed his last fight. I am more curious to hear his reason behind his decision, sounded very vague and that he is dealing with a bigger issue outside the octagon.

    Speeds, you might be right, GSP could have very well be concussed; numerous times he said he lost his memory of the fight.

    Some people are saying this was a tap? Doesn't look like it to me.

    Maybe. His style is so distinctive. It's like a killer virus that some people are just immune to.
