[Divide Et Impera]

Griffin v. Edgar was the most entertaining fight of the night....

The staredown for Eastman v. Jackson was great and that was a really good fight as well....

Cro Cop absolutely dominated Sanchez, as expected. Sanchez was clearly out of his element against the machine that Cro Cop is. Cro Cop just kept on pressing and chipping away methodically until he got his opening and finished it....

Martin v. Rivera was an all-time shocker. Who woulda thunk it?

Did you know Silva had knee surgery 11 weeks ago? That's why he couldn't sink that body triangle and it also explains why Lutter took him down so easily. Still, the better man won and Lutter is just not near the fighter Silva is....

 

[Twist18]

Hey MMA fans. I am not trying to spam my site but a buddy and I have opened an MMA forum that I am very excited about. We are not Sherdog and do not allow people to flame each other because of their opinions. Its just here to discuss MMA.

We do have a feature that is exclusive to Obsessed in that one of members is very close to the Greg Jackson camp. In fact, he announced on our board 24 hours in advance when one of the Jackson fighter's opponents had to pull out for an injury, so he is very legit. Dan films "Cage Talk", which is an MMA radio show and uploads them to our youtube on site as well as ipodcasts. This Tuesday Randy Couture and Rich Franklin are the guests and Dan has us getting a list of questions for each fighter. I think it would be cool to be able to ask those two some questions. Well, I'll get off the soapbox and let you make your own decision.

Mods, if this is against the rules, I apologize.
