Wow!!!
That punch that KO'd Liddell was pure skill! It was such a fluid and circular motion all in one single beautiful motion! Great KO by Jackson!!!
Houston was an animal! I don't think I have ever seen someone knock someone out with a single short punch like that! The ref let that one ride a bit because Jardine was damn near OUT on that first short punch but he ate like 10 more before the ref said "Enough!". What was the backstory behind the showboating over Jardine, though? I gotta see this guy fight again, but as of right now, it seems this guy could become a force at 205.
I LOVED Din calling out Mayweather and all the boxers. He threw teh gauntlet down, so let's see if these damned boxing p*ssies are man enough to accept the challenge.
Salaverry is such a damned smart fighter! It's a shame he got KO'd like that, but those are the breaks. He was really working to get that sub.
Marrero physically looked great! He needs to be at 205, but unfortunately it won't be in the UFC anymore. Gouveia absolutely shredded Marrero's leg with those kicks. I don't think I have ever seen someone damn near KO someone with a leg kick
) slightly exaggerating).
Karo was in typical form last night. He was so damned quick in getting in a quick combo and getting out just inches before Burkman's punches came by. It was like he had some kind of precognition going on, but it's just how quick he is and how smart he is as a fighter. He was in GREAT cardio whereas Burkman was looking up at the clock and down behind his feet (what was that all about?) from the middle of the 1st.
Starnes won a decision unanimously that really could have gone either way, IMO. Starnes really stayed within himself and finished out rounds well, so I think that ultimately tipped the decision in his favor. Leben started out 5-0, but he's, what, 1-3 since. He'll really need to step up to keep a spot in the UFC. Normally, I think he'd be gone, but he's such a fan favorite that they'll give him another chance, but I'm not so sure about two chances.

Anyone know the word on the "Injury" that cause a stoppage in the Silva-Irvin fight?
Oh, Salmon lost so he is a goner. I really don't know why they brought him around, but his chance is over anyways....
