*bleep*! There's always that one fight that *bleep*s up my parlay bet. What ever happened to never betting against Couture!!??

Big Nog looked the best he has in years. I still think Couture three years ago beats Nog three years ago.

But anyway, Marquart KOing Maia was SWEET. So was Silva KOing Jardine. And Duffee KOing Hague. Duffee has ALOT of potential, can't wait to see what the future has in store for him. Leben gettting choked out was crazy, did anyone see him twitch after going unconscious?

Maia almost done a backflip. Crazy shit.

Thats the first i've heard, is it because of the A Team movie?

Just throwin a few possibilities out there. That A-team gig hasn't even been confirmed so...Anyways, I guess it's irrelevant now that he lost.

does anyone have a site that shows the post fight press confrence and/or replays of the fights?

Yeah, try that link above. That's what I'm watching. It'll start from the beginning.

Interesting how Couture signed a new 28 month, 6 fight contract. Also laughed at the Chuck dancing remark.

possible light heavy weight swich for randy.
sounded like dana wanted him to.

How crazy is that...Randy fighting at 49 years old. Assuming he fulfills it anyway.

that is ridiculas i cant see him goign threw with all that thoe.
id love to see another chuck and randy fight.
was it just me or did dana possibly hint to chuck coming back maybe after the dancing?

I'm waiting on Dana to announce Chuck vs. Kimbo.

haha. kimbo i can see him getting dominated in TUF.
just watched maia marquart match and now i like nate good respect/sportnsmanship not to unload on maia after he hit him and helped him up and shit.
i didnt think he was out thoe i think he was severely dazed coz he didnt get up to wobbly lol

The usual post-fight stuff:
The Bonus Of The Night winners, each gets $60K:
Fight-Nogueira vs. Couture
KO-Marquardt
Sub-Rosholt
Although Todd Duffee didn't get KOTN, his 7-second KO of Tim Hague is a UFC record for fastest ever.

Attendance: They claimed 16,088 paid for a live gate of $1.92 million. Had Dana incredibly psyched, he would've been happy with 10,000 given the unemployment rate in the area is 12%.

Ed Soares, Anderson Silva's manager, says make Marquardt-Hendo next to see who will next fight Silva for the title. Soares says Silva wants to take a little break. (Worth noting he's got 3 fights left)

I saw an interview with Kimbo a few weeks ago and the general vibe I got from it was that he did OK on TUF. I think he wins at least one fight...There's some real scrubs on the show this season.

Nice, I went 7-4 on picks, but only getting the Vera fight completely right. I want to see Marquardt go up against Silva next, so we don't have to wait a full year between Silva title defenses.

Holy crap! Did anyone see the Gonzaga/Tuscherer fight? The first kick of the fight Gonzaga throws and it hits Tuscherer right in the balls. Tuscherer immediately falls down in pain and proceeds to cough up/throw up blood. Nasty. But then its not over yet. The ref lets Tuscherer roll around on the floor for 5 minutes, (which seems like 10 minutes) while Gonzaga is pacing around the octagon. Out of nowhere, Brock Lesnar tries to storm into the octagon for some reason and must be restrained. (i guess because he's Tuscherer's training partner?) After many long minutes, Tuscherer finally says hes ready to fight, and the fight starts again and Gonzaga immediately throws a head kick which knocks Tuscherer down. But hes not out yet! Gonzaga gets the mount and opens up a nasty cut on Tuscherer's head, which smears blood all over. Gonzaga proceeds to tee off on Tuscherer while hes in the fetal position (Tuscherer had no idea what to do on the ground) and after about 100 unanswered blows, the ref finally stops the fight.

Worst low blow I've ever seen. .__.
