I thought Maynard would brutalize Huerta

And Melvin Guillard is someone I've always hated on but he looked vastly improved last night

This new season of the show may be the worst ever as far as having guys who know what in the fuck they're doing.

Whatever happened to Ed Herman? I remember the TUF he was on everyone was saying how great he was and then he just lost to Kendall Grove.

[PaCrappa]

He's had mediocre performance after mediocre performance and just blew his knee like a goddamn fool at UFC 105. He was great in a B level promotion like Sportfight (saw him live a couple times) but since hitting the bigtime he's done nothing but flounder.

Basically, more often than not, that reality show is nothing more than a way to make low budget guys famous so that the UFC can put on shows for cheap and people will still have some (piss poor) reason to watch.

Last night ruled - Fight Night turned out to be great, and the TUF 10 debut that I expected to be great thanks to Kimbo and Rampage was better because not only did they deliver some fine entertainment, but so did others. Wes Sims seems like a complete blowhard, but he'll make for good TV.

The show's fight was pretty boring aside from the blood - I can't believe that Abe kept falling for the same tactic every single time. Thank God he's got a day job because MMA as a career really wouldn't work out for him. I'd expect him to be the first guy cut from Rampage's team since he looked super-pissed at how little he did and how he just would not listen to what he was being told to do. The post-fight wound was disgusting, and it was amazing to see how much blood was covering both him, the mat, and his opponent.

Also, the first Fedor fight of the StrikeForce deal will be on CBS on 11/7, which is way better than it being on Showtime.

I might have an opportunity to meet GSP for business! I hope it works out. (I'm going to surprise tackle him just as I had planned to do to Mir in Vegas)

Just for kicks, after the meeting you should tell him you weren't that impressed with his business performance, but look forward to meeting with him in the near future.

The Maynard-Huerta fight irritated the hell out of me. I understand where Maynard's strength lies, but he did nothing when he took Huerta down, other that just try to keep him down. I think Huerta probably scored more points in that fight.

I'm always happy to see Guillard lose. He looked like he ran out of steam real fast.

Rampage and monkey-boy Evans really don't like each other. I thought it was funny how Rampage kept bringing up the Lyoto knock out.

Also, these guys are the worst douches so far, everyone of them.

Hay Kbu Chan, have you ever done much of this stuff?

Awful card. Just awful. And catchweights are no longer needed.

Vitor is fighting just like Machida now! Insane! Shotokan karate stance all night, his own boxing infused version of it, same timing mechanism based attack, very, very elusive all fight as well. He's been taking Shotokan karate lessons from the guy second to the Machida bros. in Brazil and it really showed last night.
