This was a good card. Not as good as Affliction, but I did enjoy it.

Anderson Silva made short work of Irvin like everyone expected and a Forrest Griffin/Silva fight now could happen sooner than later. That would be a fight for the ages. Forrest is a machine, easily can go 5 rounds and is tough to knock out. He can take a beating and keep going. Anderson would have a tough time against Forrest. We dont know if Silva can go 5 rounds, 'cause he finishes everyone quick, so that would be interesting to see.

Knock out of the night definetely goes to Markham. Best KO I have ever seen maybe. I thought the other guy was dead. He looked like Jesus on the cross on the canvas...great visual.

Submission of the night for me was the Peruvian Neck Tie by CB. I never thought in a million years he could beat JT Money, but he did and with a great move. That was awesome. I really enjoyed that fight.

Fight of the night for me was Burns vs Johnson. Before that poke in the eye this was a great bout. They went full blast and Burns especially impressed me. Johnson looked like a fish out of water on the ground and he looked out of gas right away. Great match, just a shitfinish.

Fighter of the night was Frankie Edgar. This kid is just phenomenal. On the ground, his standing, his strategy, his stamina, his takedowns, everything he does is perfect. Maybe he is a little too small, but other than that, the kid is amazing. Made Franca look like crap and Franca can fight.

I missed the Brandon Vera fight when I went to pick up my gf from work, so I dont know what happened there yet. I like Vera alot and I hope he came out on top there.

Oh, how many times do they have to mention that Anderson is the best pound for pound fighter in the world today. Enough already. We all know Fedor is and thats that. Anderson is great, but he is no Fedor Emelianenko.

Vera won but he said he felt really tired, his first cut wasn't the greatest but it was the same for Rich Franklin at his first time at 185.

Like when Vera pushed forward it was good but he said he just felt really tired doing everything.

And Edgar/Hermes>Johnson/Burns.

Too bad for Edgar he's way too small to compete against the best in LW.

Anderson Silva is just too awesome in this event, he almost one hit KO his opponent...

the last match is good as well, one kick and it's a KO...
