You announce your sudden yet obviously awesome 114 party, inviting every babe from the beach to join you. Rush out, find whatever bbq food you can find, whilst advising them that clothes in your house aren’t a necessity and that bikinis will suffice as the appropriate dress code for the viewing.

I was here for DREAM but ended up passing out during intermissions and completely missed the second half of the fights…probably just as well though, considering how Saku lost. I didn’t really want to see that anyway.

Yeah, I kind of wish more guys would mix it up in that kind of situation. A KO isn’t guaranteed, but solid body blows are money in the bank.

It's against the NL.
He has an AL East pedigree and was dominant there. Letting him run free in the NL is just not fair.

But I remember Hong Man being super popular and then infamous after refusing to do some kind of military duty, was wondering if it carried over to UFC fighters in terms of popularity.

"Ten more seconds is all I ever ask. That's the good thing I learned about being KO'd twice. You don't see it coming -it's like death- you don't plan for it so don't wait for it.

Always getting all raged out when a close decision doesn’t go the way they think. it isn;t that bad.
Man, I love Nog....
but I think Brilz won the fight. Not surprised it was a split but I thought it would go to Brilz.
I, for one,
am shocked the huge name who nobody expected to lose to a last-minute replacement fighter…won a split decision.
BOOSH
just not a lot happened
Nog got some shots in early, Brilz got a takedown
Vote Quimby
Rogan got everyone excited.
Brilz got swept every time he took Nog down, and Brilz only won one exchange on his feet.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
In addition to the string of takedowns, Brilz also landed quite a few solid shots on Noguiera and had a couple very tight guillotines. I don’t think it has anything to do with the commentary, Brilz really took the fight to Nog.

Absolutely
He did very well. I don’t wanna take that away from him, but I had Nog in rounds 1&3 on sweeps, subs and striking. Brilz definitely won round 2. No doubt about it.
Rogan just starts screaming about things, and folks see fights through tinted glasses.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
the crowd that boo’d lil nog in his postfight interview cannot hear the commentary…
Getting bent out of shape over a fight promoter lying is like getting upset that a hooker won't kiss you. It betrays a deep lack of understanding of the nature of the profession.
Well, the crowd really digs it when a big dog does really well
They aren’t exactly objective observers.
If we look at this from a grappling perspective though...
sub attempts are not points, only advantages in the case of a tie. It was close, but I still give nog the grappling advantage wholesale, he had more advancement of position, and swept everything. I think nog won, but i dont think it was a landslide, that was extremely close.
Absolutely, it was a competitive and close fight
I was just responding to the argument that it was just people being swayed by Rogan.

Nog landed more, better strikes in round 1
and Brilz did nothing with his one takedown and got swept. It’s not hard to see how you score it for Nog. 2 and 3 were obvious rounds.
Position, position, position. Brilz won the fight and just made a ton of money on the down low. Good for him.

Scoring the whole fight, Brilz probably wins. But when it comes down to a do-nothing round like Round 1 of this fight, you really can’t complain about the decision.

Man, people shouldn't boo Nog
It’s not his fault. It was close enough to go either way, but the ‘underdog’ thing has everyone rooting for Brilz. It’s unfortunate that he lost, but I’m sure the UFC will throw him a bone.

The first round was where it was decided. I’d have to rewatch it but my recollection was Brilz getting a couple of takedowns but doing very little with them before Nog swept him. I really hate seeing fighters win rounds for takedowns that go nowhere so if that was the case here I’m happy to see Nog be rewarded.
i dont think this decision was that absurd
comes down to how to judge round 1. nog won stand up, got taken down once i believe? brilz spent most of the time defending sweeps not inflicting significant damage
i will say this
its just has hard for the other fighter as it is for the one on short notice. Brilz was on this card I think so he was training. Brilz is as different a fighter from Griffin as there is so I’m not surprised that Nog had problems.

Miller getting lubricated. He could give Bisping problems on the ground, but I believe Bisping is a solid enough fighter to stay out of trouble and score standing. Also, in his head, he never loses fights—they just get stopped before he has a chance to win.

Miller does need to improve his stand up, but if Keith Jardine is still there at this point, Miller needs to lose one more to get the cut I think.

Overall, yes. He executed a gameplan that worked.
The Prime Times made it seem like it would be a war, which it wasn’t. Just the way it is.

That's a completely unfounded statement
Only I know what I’ve heard, and I am eminently qualified to pass judgment on what I believe is the dumbest.

It’s the not scoring on takes downs, it’s that Rampage didn’t do ANYTHING.

If the UFC were run by casual fan reaction-
Rashad gets replaced by Russow for a light-ish-heavyweight title fight.
Face it man...
that’s because GSP threatens to end fights against top (cough cough) contenders…Wrestling can be very exciting..like Brilz showed us tonight but it can also be the safe and sensible way out. Again Rashad showed me he can’t finish an elite opponent. Yes he controlled him, but he is no GSP,he lost his belt in his first defense. GSP has built a legacy on dominance, which creates tension and excitement when he fights. The hardcores aren’t going to bring the UFC to new heights, and Rashad and Shields are buzzkillers. It’s hard to accept, but you know it’s true. I just can’t linger in the elitist camp when I know I should.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
Not in my MMA
I WANT ULTIMATE KICK BOXING.
For real, though. Wrestling is boring. I can’t wait until people learn how to defend against it.
you have to admit it was pretty anticlimactic for a lot of viewers after the TUF and Primetimes and ESPN stuff. ironically, Rashad did exactly what he needed to do, and the last couple minutes were great.
no doubt, and thats just tough luck for UFC when it comes to whoever finally went out on a limb to buy an MMA PPV I suppose.
I was just glad to see some life from Rampage there at the end. I think whoever said his training techniques were way behind Rashad’s was dead on. Page should be training takedown defense with Shane Carwin next time.
The stupidest thing Evans could have done is try to trade haymakers with Rampage
Honestly Evans fought a perfect fight outside of the moment he got caught and was clipped.

Screw you Rampage for getting my hopes up. Now I will DEFINITELY look forward to Rua destroying Evans
Haters gonna hate
Good job Rashad. Rampage I really hope you wake up now and find your killer instinct again :(
Rampage should have finished when he had a chance

I didn't really care who won...
but I found it to be a really crappy fight. As I stated before, Rashad won but I won’t buy another fight with him as a main event fighter. Sorry, not entertaining and I work too hard for my $55.
Good for Rashad
I’m not exactly excited to see him fight again, but that was a huge win for him.

Well...
I won’t ever pay for a card with a Greg Jackson fighter in the main event again. Especially Hashad. I’ve seen enough outta them. Well, maybe Carwin has things going for him, but that’s it really.
Are they pumping in crowd noise?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but...
What is the exact problem with the way they fight? The wrestling base? Why is that such a problem? I think honestly that it provides for dynamic fights, just because they fight smart and dont want to scatter someones brain doesnt necessarily mean, in my mind that it isnt a fight i want to see… withour wrestling this is just k-1, and i find that to be pretty boring most of the time, although im a striker first and a grappler second (started muay thai way before i wrestled or started jitz).
The ground game is my favorite part of MMA. Truly. I find what Stun Gun did tonight to be beautiful. Constantly advancing position, trying different things to see if there is a weakness to exploit. That’s fantastic to me.
The whole fighter with a ‘superior wrestling base that consistently ends up in good position but is content to flail away with ineffectual GnP’ is what bugs me. It’s the evolution of LnP — still mostly the same, just disguised a bit better.

I didn’t think Rashad had the wrestling to put him down but he did.
He deserves the title shot.
If Derek Jeter clubbed a baby seal on earth day while wearing a mink coat and crocodile skin boots while burning tires on an iceberg, the reaction would be "Its OK Derek, you’re a Yankee." -First mammal to wear pants
Can’t believe Rampage didn’t finish that, he really should have in the third.
Oh well, sweet night of fights.
Honestly
With the exception of the 2nd round, I enjoyed the fight.
Ugh, Duffee losing jacked up my parlay
All my other picks won.
Oh well…good night of fights. Peace out everybody.

So, uhh, I was wrong
Wowsers. Rashad did a great job.
Like being disappointed? Sweet! Follow @teddwelch on Twitter!
So Brillz got robbed, Duffee got exposed, Bisping won, Rashad won, the only good thing to really happen is Hathaway winning.
Pretty awful night overall.
That's it for Rampage
If he stays in the UFC he’ll be taking lame “fantasy” fights like Chuck Liddell… facing guys that would have been awesome five years ago but just seem sad now.

Not to get into a thing here, but he fought a guy he hates with a title shot on the line. How much more motivation does Rampage need?
Motivation wasn’t his issue tonight, he did a pretty good job stuffing Rashad’s takedowns until the 4rd. Rashad gave him very few openings, and Rampage wasn’t moving fast enough to take advantage.
Resident Capologist
its okay, I have big fingers, too
he did a pretty good job stuffing Rashad’s takedowns until the 4rd
… apparently I missed a round.
Had a +105 odds on Rashad...
Should have bet a hell of a lot more on that one
No you shouldn't have.
Rashad was one punch away from losing on the ground. The bookies had it as a close fight because the outcome was uncertain. We saw that in round 3 from Rampage, and in round 1 from Rashad.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
Wish I could've watched the whole event
But most of the fights I watched were just “meh”.

Rashad to talk to Dan Miller about his game plan.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
I think it was more like this
Prefight:
Rashad: I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out. I’m gonna knock you out.
Post-fight:
Rashad: LOL J/K, I’m gonna hug you.
Not really.

A lot of the disappointment stems from the Primetimes.
To which I say: people really watch the Primetimes? I usually suffer through half of one and give it up.
