Okami looked very tired in the corner after round 2. I think he just ran out of gas.

Boetsch is a wrassler but has heavy hands. He will never be champ at 185 but I'd put him in the top 10 at middleweight now.

Akiyama looks good at 170 but these weight cuts for older guys (he is 36) never work out well.

Then again, I think Jake should go to 185. He beat Dan Henderson at 185 for Christ sake!

Akiyama grabbed the fence 3 times but was not deducted a point! They better not screw Jake on this decision. I had it 3-0 but the first two rounds were close.

The DWFs and black racists will still love Kongoid but he is a dud. Not even a gatekeeper anymore.

Hahaha ... a new affirmative action champ.

Frankie kicked his ass but they gave it to Henderson.

I personally think Edgar was robbed. Another thing that is silly is that upkicks are legal but soccer kicks, stomps and knees to a grounded opponent are not. They can be way more damaging.

Frankie lost a very close fight. I'm not a fan of Bendo, and I think he is very beatable. I hope Edgar drops down to 145 and defeats the very overrated gassing midget Jose Aldo. Aldo will spend the entire fight tring leg kicks and will circle around the ring, but I expect Frankie to get in his range and do some damage.

I had it 3-2 for Henderson, but the fight was so close. Glad to see Rampage get his ass kicked and I also scored the fight for Sheilds dispite many people disagreeing with me.

I hope they make a rematch as Edgar would win. Frankie landed more strikes and more takedowns. Henderson landed one good upkick. I guess the judges saw the blood.

Awesome for Bader to whoop Ramgays. I had Frankie by split decision, but wasn't surprised they gave it to Henderson. Edgar should drop to 145. I think the winner of the Jim Miller/Nate Diaz fight might get a shot at BenHen (maybe Maynard or Pettis).

Henderson looked like he was juiced-up on PED's.

Great win for Bader over Fat-Head Jackson, who now has 10 losses. He needed this after such a poor showing versus Jon Jones and Tito Ortiz. Like most of the fighters on UFC's roster, Bader's needs to improve his striking...

After Alex Gustaffson, I'd love to see Bader become the future Champion at LHW.
