Im curious to see Hall and Faber in action....Brown hasnt fought in forever see if long layoff affects him. I hope Browne KOs Overroid so White will have a reason to cut him.

I am really looking forward to the Faber/Marajo fight; also the McDonald/Pickett fight, not to mention seeing Joe Lauzon in action again, which is always fun as hell.

 

[canucksfreak19]

Some really fun fights thus far.

Wow, that punch that Lauzon caught in the 1st was wicked in slow-mo. Johnson beat him up pretty good tonight.

Wow overeem didn't respect the kicks and paid for it wow

 

[golgo13]

So happy to see Overeem lose :dance:

Didn't think for a second that Sonnen would submit Shogun, weird night.

Surprised as hell by the outcome of that fight.

X2, Johnson looked amazing tonight. Lauzon is no joke, he is one tough dude and Johnson went through him like a knife through butter.

 

[crowncarrier]

Great fights tonight. Loved seeing Overeem lose AGAIN. And the Sonnen fight shocked the crap out of me.

 

[canucksfreak19]

Trying to think right now; Event of the Year so far?
