all champs must not be contested!! exciting.

Ten guys winning and losing the belt over and over is much less exciting, to me, than say Anderson Silva being a MONSTER.

I'd love for the next person to win the Light Heavyweight belt to really earn it by beating a Jon Jones who held it for a long time, unlike over the last five years where it's just a ton of guys randomly winning or losing against each other with no consistency. I mean, I think guys like GSP and Silva who have held belts for so long are much more impressive to me than guys who win the belt and then instantly lose it.

I got a list of demands...

And at the top of my list is Rashad smashing Jon Jones in four months. Go Jones.

1) I guessed that Jake Shields was gonna lose and everyone called me crazy. I don't think he lacks talent, but him losing now that he's in the UFC and his GSP title shot passed just seems like a "thing" to me, I had a feeling that was just how it was going to be; kind of like what happened to Dan Hardy where he was a monster until he fought GSP and then it was just loss loss loss.

2) FINALLY we get to see Jones fight tonight. I'm really excited.

Jones is a monster. The thing that amazes me most is how patient and in controll he is, just like in the shogun fight he paced himself, stayed out of danger but was constantly working rampage down. That submission was flawless as well.

I cannot wait to see him put Evans in his place.

My god, this Nick Diaz.

BJ Penn and Nick Diaz are my absolute favorite fighters of all time, I was so hyped for last night's fight. I was pulling for Penn but still overjoyed by the match--one of the best fights I've seen in a long, long time. Two dudes that don't fight bullshit. Awesome striking by Diaz and no quit in Penn. Excited to see what Diaz can do in the face of GSP's takedowns and point gaming.

My god, this Nick Diaz.

He has had the smarts punched right out of him.

Speaking of which, what the fuck is going on with the recent WWF style shit talking after matches? Where the fuck do these people think they're fighting?

Last night Joe told Cain he was a great champion, but all he did as champion was instantly lose the belt. I mean, I could be wrong, but your not champion during the fight you win the belt, so literally the only thing he ever did as champion was get hurt, put on some weight and them get his ass kicked in 70 seconds.

Great fights last night. The last three fights were all featuring guys from outside the UFC.
