And some MMA fans were complaining that this card would be lackluster

Couture vs Nogueira was an easy candidate for Fight of the Year. Not too many fights tell a story in the cage, but this one really did. On top of all that, the UFC showed us eight of the fights on the card. I think that it is really showing that it is very hard for the UFC to have a really bad PPV these days. I’m not saying that they don’t happen, but with so many high level fighters fighting on the main card of these PPVs, the likeliness of having bad and even boring fights decreases.

The photos are some of the best I've seen

They really show how awesome each fight was. There was never a dull moment. I expected a little more from Maia and Marquardt but being a Marquardt fan I can’t complain (Amazing finish).

GREAT AND AMAZING..

Couture vs. Nog, was so godamn amazing, I found myself cheering for both Captain America and Rodrigo, EASILY EASILY fight of the year, no doubt in my mind, the submission escapes by Randy really showed he still he has it, both men should be praised for the fight they put on.

The 4th photo where Randy is looking up at Nog in amazement as the fight ended, after he just swept him for the 2nd time, is amazing.

I specializes in grammar fail.
