Main Card an average exhibition, however, White will be pleased he's able to schedule two much anticipated title fights this year.

I'd like to see Bisping vs Munoz sometime in the future too.

Whats everyone's opinion on the fox broadcast? I don't mind it but glad its not like that for pay per views, the ads between rounds was annoying, and I love the gladiator opening to the pay per views.

Didn't mind the switch hosting, although Jon Jones is as fake as they come.

SPIRITUALITY....

Now i ask you, is this the quote of a man who is a fake? I think not! Everyones intitled to an opinion though.

It's common knowledge he's being stage-managed by the Jackson camp.

Me too, with the winner facing the winner of Silva vs Sonnen.

It's free so I can't complain about the ads. I think it's good to have a different intro as it separates the TV specials and the PPVs.

I thought he sounded a bit uncomfortable. However I don't understand all the hate towards the guy from UFC fans.

Sonnen vs Bisping was a close one, was very surprised with one score being 30-27. Bring on Chael vs Anderson, it will be huge (I reckon Silva will win again)!

Not a huge fan of Evans, I don't think he'll beat Jones.

The undercard, which I watched on ufc.com, was better than the main show.


I don't like Bisping but I thought he did enough to win it 29-28, then he showed gratitude in Sonnen's victory, so I have a new found respect for him (till he does something stupid).

Sonnen - nob. I hope Silva flogs him.

Evans - disappointing.

Anyone giving Nelson a chance. Worth a stab @ $2.19 or is it my bias showing through?

(Hope Condit destroys Diaz [-o< )

Roys heavy hands and improved cardio means he is a huge chance but i love the big ol grizzly Adams look alike as for your other quote, prepare to be dissapointed....NICK DIAZ WILL BE THE NEW CHAMPION, STOCKTON 209 REPRESENT :D

I reckon Nelson has a good chance. Diaz vs Condit should be great, complete opposite of the Evans vs Davis snoozefest.

I was happy with the decision, Diaz advanced but conduit counter struck, 149-111 strikes in carlos favour, landed alot of significant combos, and 111-19 on landed kicks!!!!!!!!! Great fight and deserves a re match IMO

Diaz's legs would be sore from the kicks, Condit's legs would be sore from running away for 25 minutes. GSP vs Condit really doesn't sound interesting after today's fight. However, Diaz didn't really do enough to win (although I can't see how one ref could score it 49-46).

Condit fought the perfect fight and the judges got it right. Attacked, counter attacked and was strategically superior to Diaz. At the highest level you can't rely on natural ability, you have to be about to construct a fight - GSP does it and Condit has shown he can do it, which makes the unification fight one to look forward to.

Diaz's fight weaknesses have been exposed, no wonder he spat the dummy. Quite frankly, I hope he **** off because he's a bloody peanut.
