Might be an idea to put your comments relating to results/performances in spoiler tags for a few days following an event - it seems to be the general etiquette on here!
Great event though!

Tough to pick between Rockhold and Van Zant for performance of the night - both exceeded my expectations!
That sounded a tad *****, but if I haven't watched an event I avoid certain sites like the plague. Sometimes I get caught out on YouTube and Twitter but to open a specific MMA thread and then complain about spoilers from people watching along? Hmmm.

Mighty impressive by rockhold, Machida is A grade and to take him out like that sends a message.
Rockhold vs Weidman looks like it will be a toss up.

Massively impressed by Max Holloway in that event, he schooled a very dangerous fighter in Cub Swanson. Incredible how much he's improving, and at his age he could be a serious contender within 12 months.
Loved that Van Zant not only won, but completely destroyed Herrig, who came across as a complete bully douchebag on the ultimate fighter.
Rockhold is legit as well, he's massive for a 185'er and has no weaknesses in his game. Next title fight after Weidman and Belfort?

Max Holloway was amazing, he wants to fight Mcgregor which i think is a bit soon, but he's coming on leaps and bounds and mixes up his attacks very well.
Rockhold IMO would beat Weidman, literally looks a different weight class, and i cant see Weidman being able to stop him. However Belfort vs Rockhold tougher to call and i do think Belfort will be Weidman.

Are you aware both these fights have already happened?
Yes, but a lot has changed since then. Pretty sure Conor beat Max with a torn ACL
nice, that should be a great season (fingers crossed!!)
Yeah I hope so! Ultimate fighter tends to get a bit of grief from hardcore forums like the Underground and the likes, but i've always quite enjoyed it.
Indeed it is tonight - like you say though it's not the greatest line-up! To be honest even Rampage's return doesn't interest me that much - his last few UFC fights were pretty boring imo - and although I've not seen any of his fights whilst with Bellator, I can't imagine him being a couple of years older will help with his energy levels!
I watched one of his Bellator fights, thought his energy levels were poor in the one I watched!
