The Chuck Liddell/Wanderlei Silva match was a good one. I didn't really realize how much of a reach advantage Chuck had and that made a big difference in the fight. Chuck looked pretty good but with the announcers screaming "The Iceman is back!" was a bit of overkill. I don't think Chuck looked like the Chuck of old. I don't think he will ever beat Rampage.
The Matt Hughes/Georges St. Pierre was very surprising to me. Hughes was dominated worse this time than last time. At least last time it could be said that St. Pierre got lucky and knocked him out. This time was complete and total domination. St. Pierre was taking down Hughes down at will. I say Hughes fights one more fight and that will be Serra after Serra fights GSP.
The Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou/Lyoto Machida fight was pretty boring. I had not ever seen Sokoudjou fight but I was dissappointed in his performance. He had some good wins under his belt, but he didn't show it here.
The Rich Clementi/Melvin Guillard fight was one of my favorites of the night. They had exchanged some words over the internet and there was definitely some hard feeling there going in. I loved the trash talking by Clementi at the end. I never really cared about Clementi before, but this performance made me like him a lot more. |
