(Props to Fightlinker reader iamphoenix for the image),
-First point: I didn't notice a number at the end of this event's name. Are numbering systems kaput? Will we see a Versus-style "just name it after the headliners" theme in the future? That seems unlikely, as it's been confirmed that every Fox card going forward will air two fights (and clock in at 90 minutes - fingers crossed for at least the possiblity of more fights making air). Just do the damn numbers - either integrate them with the PPV ones or start anew with Fox. You didn't spend all of these years conditioning us to dick with that now, did you?
-Second point: see the picture above. Nothing short of a flat-out slobberknocker would have satisfied the hardcores, who looked forward to this day in the same way that morons anticipate the Second Coming. This isn't pro wrestling: scripting what happens is a one-way ticket to oblivion and the federal pen. You put the best fighters in the world against each other again and again and you record what happens.
-Dana White has caught some flack for doing the same thing he always does after a card (ie, offer half-assed analysis of the main event while loudly proclaiming that he doesn't know what he's talking about). This time, he questioned why Cain was content to stand at distance with JDS instead of using his wrestling to try to secure an advantage. Well, news flash, everyone: so was Cain. He said after the fight that the game plan was to pressure and get in close, and that he just didn't execute what they had practiced. In addition to offering a more compelling fight and answering more questions (STILL don't know how JDS reacts to elite-level wrestling), doing so would have saved us another round of indignant blog posts in reaction to the most mundane of repetitive occurances.

I don't get it
I was plenty satisfied with JDS’ win. Dana White obviously wasn’t.
Of course Dana was just being Dana. Nobody’s surprised he feels let down by Cain’s performance given what we know about the Latino promotional push. Does this mean he should not only tear down Velasquez’ performance but also throw Junior under the bus while failing to acknowledge that a well-placed punch can end a fight at any time without facing critique from the blogosphere? Of course not. If he can’t give props to Junior for a great performance he shouldn’t be doing the post-fight stuff in front of millions of (new) viewers.
Also, who gives a shit whether it was called UFC on Fox or UFC on Fox 1?

we don't know how well JDS will handle an elite wrestler?
that question has been answered. he beat carwins ass and he put cain to sleep.

Yeah, I think Junior can handle wrestlers.

Tried, tested, and true solution for beating wrestlers:
Punch in face until they follow on their backs.

I think Dana is pissed off because:
If Cain would have have won, they would have went to Mexico for the next title defense. It’s all about the $$$

White is pissed because
Brock was the cash cow champion and Cain beat him down. Cain gets the big Latino/Hispanic push and JDS knocks him out quickly.
White should not be putting himself in that sort of situation if he can’t control his emotions – I was amazed with what he came out with getting stuck into both guys on live television in probably the most important night of the UFC so far. He could learn a lesson or two from Don King, (who for all his faults) in his heyday he would come in with the champion and leave with the champion whoever won! He missed a golden opportunity to give JDS a real push there.
I was entirely satisfied by the main event
Dana’s post fight PMS attack, not so much.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
White's role....
…while on camera was that of an analyst, so he analyzed. The fact that he’s the head of the promotion is a conflict of interest, so the real issue isn’t what he said, but rather that he was put there to begin with. He had no business performing that function.
Brandon Vera should have lost to Eliot Marshall.

It should've been a draw...
