Agreed.

I guess I just have it in me to believe some people can mature and turn the corner. I'm not sure some of these fighters are as awful as they make themselves out to be. It helps sell tickets and makes it more interesting. Like any normal person, I'll pull for the respectable guy who appreciates his opponent. You see people like Tito though who seemed to appreciate Nog tonight. I'm not sure he was ever that bad of a guy but more or less just played the role.

Hard to say whether I feel bad for him or not. I did kind of feel bad watching him cover up during his beat down though. Then he gave credit where credit was due. I think it has finally been beaten into him. :)

That was one of my favorites. The knockout alone was amazing but the fact that he insulted a deaf guy... what a dick.

I like Tito.

He acted like a schmuck at times and justly caught hell for it, but I always liked him.

Seeing as he's one of the first guys that I saw, it's more of a nostalgic vibe than anything else.

It's called protecting his legacy, if that's what you want to call it. If it was 5 years ago, he wouldn't have been so respectful. Whatever, it is a waste of internet space to talk about Tito anymore. He has a former porn star wife, congrats Tito.

Did you hear Henderson interview after that knockout? He made it clear he did not like Bisbing.

Hendo is a class act with a huge right. Bisping is a brit that hates being the only UFC quality fighter out of England. As the TUF coach, it was obvious he's a douchebag.

We learned that Bones isn't too good to get caught, but we also learned he has a chin. Dude is amazing. Machida looked fantastic, too.

Jones is a man among boys, standing guillotine choke on a black belt braz jj guy is crazy! My only regret is both top fights on the card didn't get out of the first round.

45 bucks and I'm pleased though

I jumped out of my seat when Mir dislocated Nogs shoulder, his pride may cost him the rest of his career. Mir is a beast.

Lastly, thank you little nog for getting rid of Tito. How fitting the end of his fight ended with him looking like he was crying

Jones/Machida went 2 rounds.

What a weird 7 seconds huh? The Machine went wild and then just stood there while the Korean Zombie launched into him like a, well, hungry zombie. I hope Hom enjoys that replay for a while.

Nog had never been submitted in 41 fights yet you knew it was a mistake when it went to the ground. Interesting.

I didn't really figure he'd get submitted. Mir is just too big for him. I thought going to the ground gave Mir a chance to recover.

Nog would be in great shape taking down most guys, but Mir isn't most guys. He's much bigger, and he's very crafty on the ground.

Mir now has 16 victories, 9 by submission, and only 3 knockouts. It's better to keep him on his feet.

Nog has 33 victories, 20 by submission and only 3 knockouts. Prolly don't wanna go to the ground with him.

Yeah? How many of those opponents are as big and talented as Mir? I'd bet zero. It was obviously a bad decision.

Noguiera may have never tapped in the past, but it may be because he's too stubborn. Mir likely ended his career Saturday night. I think I was right about it being a bad idea.
