Yup, crazy good event. Rogan commented on it being the loudest noise he'd heard for a UFC event during the Belfort fight.
Feel like jumping off a bridge today though, tipped up a 125/1 winner in my above article but didn't get on myself. Sick much.

I thought Etim had the wrong approach to Barbosa. his long reach is usually an advantage, but it put him in Barbosa's kickboxing range and, despite a good start, he was clearly coming off worse. As the takedowns weren't working, I thought he should have got into a clInch / dirty boxing fight. Good fight though and Etim hasn't done his status any harm with that loss.
Vitor did what I thought he would to Johnson, but Mergliotta's quick stand ups probably helped.
Aldo looks good. Also looks like a lightweight to me. I see a lot of division hoping right through the lighter divisions over the next few years including some duel weight champions.
Palhares is a beast too. Real problem for middle weight strikers.

ooh. I like his chances against Maia much better than Sonnen.
The build up will be epic, but I worry about this match up for Bisping.
He'll have to drill nothing but TDD between now and then Also, Dan Mirgliotta for ref please, following the quick standups in the Vitor / Johnson fight last weekend

With 10 days til the fight I don't think he'll have too much time to drill, especially with training usually stopping a week in advance.
Horrible match-up for Bisping IMO.
Wish we had more time between now and the fight for the incredible banter.

yeah, just realised how soon it is.
I'm not counting Bisping (no pun intended). Just a much harder route to the title shot than Maia

Maia wouldn't have been the final step in the route anyway. Sonnen/Munoz winner was going to fight for title so Bisping would have fought again, probably against Paul Harris. Buzzing for Saturday already. Going to be awesome. Must stay awakeeeee. Random article I wrote this week: http://www.thefightlounge.co.uk/the-road-back-to-the-ufc-the-brits/

Disappointed Bisping didn't get the nod. I wasn't scoring it cos I was so into it, so can't say if I agree. Definitely wasn't 30-27 though, that's lolbad judging.
Another winner on my Fight Lounge article.

Yeah tilting as fk that with Sonnen acting like a fking clown at the end as well, hope he gets absolutely owned by Silva now! Thought Evans was just a cut above and Davis once out of the first couple minutes never really threatened heavily. Sick picking tekkers scotty hope you got on
