I had Sonnen winning the 1st just, and the 3rd by a long margin.
Pretty non eventful fight though overall.

I hate this immediate rematch thing the UFC have had for a while now. It may have been a close fight but Condit won, he landed more strikes and done enough to win the fight.
Don’t let the UFC kid you that the rematch is for the benefit of the fans, it’s so they have another fight to hype up only this time they have a better back story to use when hyping it.
Give more people the chance at the big fights, don’t only do rematches so you have a back story to hype. This is a sport and granting people immediate rematches all the time is getting boring and predictable.
per Keith Kizer:
The following athletes were tested: Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, Fabricio Werdum, Josh Koscheck, Renan Barao, Ed Herman, Dustin Poirier, Max Hollaway, Matt Riddle, Henry Martinez, Edwin Figueroa, Alex Caceres, Matt Brown, Chris Cope, Rafael Natal, Michael Kuiper, Stephen Thompson and Dan Stittgen. All results received thus far have been negative, except Mr. Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites. A complaint for disciplinary action against Mr. Diaz has been filed.
Is it odd that 18/22 fighters were tested? Why not add the final four?
All main events will be 5 rounds from now.
Just watched the Tate / Rousey fight. You could properly sense the tension and then the actual fight was epic. Well impressed with Rousey's ground game. If there are any females that can match Rousey then I think the future is bright for Women's MMA.
Seriously, one of the best fights I've seen.
I don't understand the "wait until it's broken before I tap mentality"
Big Nog could have tapped earlier as soon as he realised he wasn't getting out, instead when it broke he tapped, same for Tate.
