I think the main event could go either way, as I don't know what Belfort will be like and Rich has been losing a lot lately.

I'm losing patience with Cro Cop and think he could be in for a tough fight against Dos Santos as well.

I hope Paul Daley wins, although Kampmann will be a tough test.

Don't forget, the prelims are on live from two.

Nice work by Daley.:D

Cro Cop is gun shy and too old now and, I never thought that I'd say this, he's boring!!! He quit, he said that he couldn't see, but it looked like Dos Santos was having his way with him and Cro Cop didn't like it. About time he retired, after his contract runs out anyway, very disappointed.
 
Was a little disappointed with both main events, Franklin didn't seem to be caught with anything of note and Cro Cop did absolutely nothing all fight. Was quite impressed with Daley, took apart a tough opposition.

Was nice to see the prelims on espn too, first time i can remember seeing them aired. Pity about the first 15 mins or so being in spanish though lol.
 
Not a bad event but not particularly exciting. Was disappointed with Crocop :(. I really wanted to see his oldself but he looked old, tired and scared. Good win for Daley. He looks good standing up, I wonder what his ground game is like?
 
yea it was painful watching cro cop. he needs to quit the game tbh as he wont win many top level fights like that. i think his arrogance in his own ability has hindered his mma game... i.e reliance upon a headkick and right left combo ... no jitsu, nothing else.

i mean over the weekend.. what was hi tactic? put his head down, step in and then push dos santos away?! i kept thigking, why doesnt DS just knee him in the face next time he tries that. and basically thats what JDS did in the 3rd..i think that spells the end for cro cop in the UFC. even when he did land his left it barely moved JDS he just walked through them everytime.

Belfort>>>You.
 
Crocop is done, I wouldn't be suprised if he walks away, if he doesn't I think the UFC are likely to drop him.

Tyson Griffin looked a beast as usual.
 
Crocop = old, slow, fat & done. :) Best shape ive seen him in for a few years but its not enough anymore. Shame he was such a beast but he aged quite early, hell he looked about 40 in his late twenties.. same deal with Wand.

Vitor was too fast for Rich, even though he looks in horrible shape too, although he's probably just off the roids now. Hope he gets another fight before attempting to take on Anderson.

CroCop isn't old, he isn't slow and he's not really that fat tbh. He might be done and in an interview i just read it does seem like hes thinking long and hard about retiring.

He said he mind isn't on the game, the mat seemed like slippy glass when he was throwing his high kick and he doesn't have the same hunger he did before. Lots of people are saying he looked aweful, but we must understand the type of fighter he was facing, Cigano is a class act and he has insane hands; and CroCop would have probably just about lasted the 3 rounds if his eyelid hadn't have burst; Cigano will go far in the UFC i'm sure.
 
I thought it was a pretty decent event. I agree that CroCop doesn't seem to want 'it' anymore, he just isn't the same :( I was also a bit disappointed with the main event, thought Ace would fair better. But Paul Daley really surprised me, I hadn't heard of him before this event, looking forward to his next showing.
 
Pretty good event again.

Cro cop and Trigg are both done, unfortunately the sport has past them both by, and neither have appeared to have evolved with it.

Good KO win for Belfot, although Rich is such a classy guy it's always hard to see him lose.

Also good to see Daley get a win, looked extremely impressive as well! Always excellent to see another Brit flying the flag :)
