I don't think anyone will dispute the fact that Vera had more damaging strikes, or that Randy wasn't as dominating as usual in the situations he spent 90% of the fight in. I certainly won't

I'm just speaking based on the scoring system, as I understand it, I would have given the first and third rounds to randy, and the second to vera, with typical 10-9 scoring per round since it seems you REALLY have to put the hurting on someone for an entire round to get so much as a 10-8 score.

So how many of you are disappointed Denis Kang lost to Bisping and feel Vera won that fight?

Bisbing displayed some of the best shrimping and hip control i've ever seen!!! very impressed. dennis kang is a beast for thoose of you who hadn't seen him before last night. pearson was on fire. wilks disapointed me. he demalished demarcus to win the ultimate fighter. i was expecting more "though he did get rocked early". what a knock out by andre winner. lets hear some thoughts on GSP VS Hardy.

I'm not disappointed at all for the kang vs bisping. I was rooting for kang, but bisping deserved the win, won with style, and beat a truly tough opponent. Like merdcme said, kang is a BEAST.

Just because the guy I wanted to win didn't have his day, doesn't mean that I can't recognize that he was beat by someone who really did deserve a win.

GSP vs Hardy? I did not get the feeling from the Hardy fight that either opponent was up for taking on what we've seen from GSP in his last 3 fights. Hardy had better work harder than he has ever in his life to prepare for that. BTW I'm no GSP fan and I certainly don't think he's unbeatable or the best in his weight class, just my personal views on Hardy taking him on.

i believe he is certainly the best in his wieght class. but i agree i dont think hardy will be much of a challenge. though he does have heavy hands and thats the only way i can see him winning. GSP to me is the most dominate fighter today (exept maybe anderson silva at 205). i mean that style wise.

vera fight was more like a grecko roman wrestling match to me. Hardy vs GSP will be great match but I feel GSP won't have much of a problem with Hardy.

My take on it:

The fight with Vera and Couture, it's a toss up really, Vera was more damaging, Couture was more controlling.
Hardy surprised me, I'm starting to like this guy. He's definitely going to have a lot of trouble with GSP.
Bisping, good for him on the come back, I just don't like him though.
Matt Brown, great win.
