I've also been saying to everyone who will listen that Jon Jones reminds me of a young Anderson Silva with his length, striking, and just his cage savvy. he has a great attitude and seems destined for greatness. i can't believe they haven't put him on a main card until now. He'll be carrying pay-per-views before long.
Nelson suprised me with the knockout. i wasn't sure he had that kind of power in his hands, but like Rogan said, its the same spot Lesnar caught Couture to knock him out. right behind the ear. Schaub will be good because of his athleticism, camp, and work ethic, but i wanna wait and see how he responds after being hit solidly again in the future.
Big Baby is just too soft mentally and his chin is obviously suspect. He seems to be broken mentally if he takes you down and cant submit you instantly. Meat head is a douche, but he did look alot better than he did on the show.
Kimbo was about what i expected except he impressed me with his willingness to take the fight to the ground to avoid the dancing and leg kicks. he knew that was the only way he was going to get to do any damage. I was also impressed with his patience and poise. he didn't chase in and do something crazy and leave himself open when Houston was obviously avoiding any exchanges. Kimbo needs to lose the last 10 lbs and get to LHW where his size and strength will help him prevent takedowns. he also needs to obviously get his cardio up. he's in trouble against anybody in shape in the 3rd round. it's too bad he's 35. he would have a bright future if he was in his twenties.
overall i was very impressed by the card.
