Nog via 3rd round anaconda choke
Griffin via unanimous decision
Rampage via split decision (even though I want Vanderlay to win)
Al-Turk via 2nd round head kick ko

I can give two shits about that Dolloway fight, UFC needs to rid of him.

I'm going to try to catch the Dream/K-1 event too :crazyr:

Was there even a submission? I just saw a bunch of knockouts.

Definitely could have won some money tonight. Mir looked solid. Never seen him look that good. Its a toss up if he can overcome Lesnar's size advantage though. Evans looked great too. He has improved leaps and bounds over his fight against Tito. And Rampage....man he looked good. I was actually hoping this fight would go 3 rounds because it was evident they were going to brawl. But not only did he win but he did it convincingly with a KO and not winning it with a decision.

Remember that Mir already bet Lesner back at UFC 81. I think Mir looked amazing! His combos were astounding and were rocking Nog.

Evans looked sketchy in the first two rounds, and then learned when Forrest would throw a kick, caught it and BAM!

Rampage did indeed look cool and calm. He actually didn't look like Rampage. He walked into the ring very humble like. Silva was knocked out COLD!

I do have to say that Forrest is hands down the most humble fighter in the ring.

Yea I know they fought before but I'm just skeptical that he can overcome Lesnar's size again. Last time he was getting rocked before he pulled out the sub. I just dont know that he can do it again. He gets smarter every fight. I honestly thought Nog had the better shot at beating Lesnar but now I guess we'll have to see. I like how Mir looked right at Brock after the fight and said "Thats my belt! You have my belt!"

Rampage looked good. He just went about his business instead of all the show boating. I think he's hilarious when he talks smack but to see him just get down to business was refreshing. I guess he's changed a lot since going across the pond to train.

Forrest is extremely humble. This is why I love and will continue to love him win or lose. I love how he just says it like it is and is not ashamed at all. He takes his lumps and moves on. Like he said "I'm not done. Gonna after party and get back in the gym." He always gives credit to his opponent and criticizes himself. I like how he talked shit on hisguard saying he doesn't know what the hell he was doing :rofl:
