    So who are you more impressed with tonight?

    Several noteworthy performances. Travis Browne easily takes out Chad Griggs, Michael MacDonald stakes his claim as a contender at 135-lbs., Rory MacDonald obliterates Che Mills in a performance reminiscent of GSP/Trigg, and Jon Jones thoroughly albeit a bit conservatively defeats Rashad Evans over five rounds.

    Brendan Schaub, if he wasn't already, is officially chinny.

    Also, we thought it was hilarious that Rothwell's finishing shots all missed from point blank, like four in a row on a prone Schaub.

    Should also mention Eddie Yagin. Rogan was quick to question Hominick's chin but Yagin hits like a truck and kept throwing power shots until the end of the fight. Did Hominick really think he won, there?

    Browne, Rothwell, Yagin and Hominick take home the $65,000 "of the night" bonuses.

    Dan Henderson likely to face Jones next, probably in the fall.

    So what do we make of Rothwell with his newly trimmed down physique? Is he a threat at HW or did he just get lucky he was able to drop Schaub (not that difficult) when he did?

    Sad to see Miguel Angel Torres do so poorly in the UFC. Would have liked for him to get the respect he deserves from his previously excellent career.

    Travis Browne is sick, really want to see the UFC give him a step up in competition.

    I wasnt that impressed with the jones evans fight. I was rooting for rashad but both guys seem like they played it safe. Jones has no punching power.

    Yeah the fight was a bit disappointing. IMO Rashad had no choice but to play it safe and pick his spots. Jones was pretty damn conservative as well though, not wanting to get countered by one of Rashad's big right hands. You're right though, Jones' boxing isn't that great technically. He more than gets by because hes so great with the elbows/kicks/unorthodox strikes and he can take you to the mat so quickly. Jones may be the strongest guy in the LHW division at this point as well, guy is looking much more filled out than when I remember him coming up 1-2 years ago.

    He'll be at LHW for a while and I think his boxing will get much better. He seems anxious to get to HW but if you put him in there with JDS (also 6'4) right now I think he wouldn't look so untouchable because JDS has size and skill to match him.

    Looked like Schaub was going to knock him out before he got into a wild swinging contest with him, like he did with Big Nog.

    I think Jones handles Hendo rather easily and eventually chokes him out...but I am very interested in seeing if Hendo can bull rush him against the cage and get him into a dirty boxing match. If Hendo can make it a brawl, I favor the H-bomb...I doubt that happens, though.
