awesome fight!!!!!!!!!

You can tell Dana wasn't too pleased, its obvious he wanted Cain to keep winning to grow the mexican fan base.

I'm a big fan of Dos Santos, so pumped that he won in spectacular fashion :D


Now here's what really pisses me off; how the fuck can they compare Dos Santos' story to Cain's and say they both have "great stories" of growing up??? Dos Santos grew up poor as shit in Brazil. Cain, grew up in Arizona, the son of illegal immigrants, went to good (ie American) schools, then college, and is now in the UFC. I dont see how his story is all that amazing to be honest, sounds like a better life than most kids in the rougher parts of Detroit/Atlanta.

And they gotta quit with the "fighting for all of Mexico" bullshit. The stupid caveman grew up in America, as an American born and raised in Arizona.

I hope Overeem beats Brock. I'd love to see dos Santos v Overeem. It would be a K1 match with 4oz gloves.

Same here, I like dos Santos for the same reason I liked Cro Cop, his strategy is sprawl and brawl, and he can finish the fight at any time. Reem has been a monster too after he bulked up so that would be an awesome fight! Brock is probably just going to sit on Reem for 15 minutes though and call himself the best fighter in the world.

Yes, WOW. Junior shut all those Mexican guys up rofl.

Ok, so what do I do now?

The opponents made sense;

Shogun lost to Forrest in his first UFC fight. Shogun also lost his last fight, while Forrest was coming off a win I believe. People wanted to see the rematch, and they got it.

Okami was next in line for a title shot, and Silva ALWAYS looks like the huge favorite.

Schaub is a rising contender with great stand up and had good win streak going. Nog is coming off a series of surgeries, and wants to prove he can still compete with the newer breed of fighters.

I personally see nothing wrong with any of the match ups really..

I know they put locals on the cards... It's there opponents that I question.

They always put locals on the cards.

Dana White loaded the fights so that the Brazilian fighters would win. Okami, Griffin and Schaub are not top fighters in their divisions. It was a marketing dream for the UFC.

Great card last night!

I agree, Forrest is most likely done fighting top opponents :( I've always like him, and to see him get trounced like that is truly sad. I think he's going the way of Stephan Bonnar; fighting on smaller cards against bottom tier opponents.

I dont see Sonnen losing to Stann, and I'm hoping for a rematch with Silva. However, I think this time around that fight will be much, much different..

I think it will be different as well. Silva won't let it last as long as it did last time.
