Well, well, well.  Looks like I was about half right last night.  Brock proved he has a long way to go and that size does not always trump power and technique.  Diego Sanchez won his fight in impressive fashion, which I did have a tiny part of my brain to bet him, but the odds were too good to pass up on Thiago.  He did look good in the first, but Diego's energy swarmed him and took over the fight.

However, there was also some good picks by me on the night.  Shields as expected looked horrible.  However, Kampmann couldn't do much either and I was actually commenting to my buddy that they both deserved a loss for that performance.  Shields needs to learn that being that one dimensional will get you a date with the floor courtesy of GSP.  I gasped when Rogan said he got a title shot if he won last night.  That is embarrassing.   But he did get the win for us.

In the most predictable outcome of the night Tito lost to Hamill.  Although, I do have to say that is the best I have seen Tito look in about 3 years physically.  However, his stand up is still horrible and he only survived because Hamill's stand up is equally horrible.  Good, competitive fight, but neither of them are going anywhere any time soon in the 205 division.

Well, UFC 122 is right around the corner.  The main event isn't eye popping, but should be competitive.  We'll have the complete card up soon and look for early betting lines in the side bar to the right.
