and im sure koscheck added some more smacktalk when he had daley on the ground in round 3.
he plays the bad guy really well, but the faking sh*t for points isn't MMA, thats soccer. gtfo w/ that. hope GSP crushes him.
Regardless Daley should've been deducted points he attempted to hit Kos with a knee to the head while he was down, there was no mistaking that Kos was still down when Daley threw the knee, just because he missed doesn't mean it should be ignored. Yes Kos did his best to sell it, and it really didn't land but if you blatantly attempt to do something illegal it shouldn't be ignored just because you missed.

And the main event goes 2 minutes? Never again.
If you ordered this PPV to watch Kimbo fight you're an example of why the UFC put him on the PPV portion. Anybody who follows MMA knows Kimbo and Mitrione were probably the 2 worst heayweights signed to the UFC. And with 4 ounce gloves you get quick KOs it's what makes the sport exciting.

I'd take Nelson at -400 v. him.
Really? It was the dudes 2nd career fight, I guess 4th if you count what happened on the TUF show. He's a total MMA rookie, he has a lot of potential. The guy didn't throw a kick or attempt 1 submission in his first 3 fights but he picked Kimbo apart with leg kicks and surprisingly Kimbo didn't tap from that first triangle attempt. He seems to be improving extremely rapidly, he is a legit prospect IMO. If he could ever get some takedown defense he could actually do some damage in the HW division.
