[quote name='n8rockerasu']Not the most exciting UFC lately, but damn...Cro Cop AND BJ Penn calling it quits on the same night? I've never been a huge Penn fan, but I hate the Diaz gang with a passion, and it was sad to see BJ completely demoralized in the cage like that. Hearing him say "I don't want to go home looking like this..." was awful.
And of course, the whole time, Diaz has to act like the prison thug that he surely would have been had life not been kind enough to give him a career where he gets paid millions to punch people in the face. I can't wait to see GSP put him on his back because he's not going to just stand there and get picked apart the way Penn did.
The only other fight that really impressed me was Cerrone just smashing Siver and swarming on him for the tapout. Roy Nelson lost weight and beat a "one foot in the community center" Cro Cop. Big deal. I still don't think he could even beat Frank Mir...let alone Cain or JDS. The Kongo - Mitrione fight was a snoozer until the 3rd round when Kongo finally realized he didn't need to respect Mitrione when he could just put him on his back and beat him senseless.[/QUOTE]
"gets paid millions"...huh?
Anyways, Diaz looked pretty normal (good, but iffy defense) but Cerrone really impressed me. I knew he was coming along great but his striking is making such huge strides that its almost unbeliveable.
As for Nelson, I think he would easily beat up Mir if he wasn't all sickly the first time. Could never beat a Velasquez or Dos Santos, but Nelson could get a fight like Kongo or the like sometime because Nelson is fun to watch and wins by KO all the time.
