Yep!

Great round that.

[Stu R]

If that doesn't get a rematch I'll be forced to write Dana White and Joe Silva a strongly worded e-mail...

Smart move going for the tKedown, but I reckon he was only one or two more good ones from putting him out.

[Johnny]

Can't disagree with any of that.

Thought Lawler had it going into the 5th, but think Hendricks did enough in the end.

Lawler could have finished it in Round 3 or 4 if he just kept firing. Hendricks was hurt. But going into the 5th they were even on points and it was just down to the final round.

Agreed really enjoyed that, felt for Condit, that looked painful as all hell

Haven't seen Jury before, though he was impressive

Why Lawler didn't try and finish it then, I don't know, bet hes kicking himself now

Trying to not punch himself out and fight smart. But the win was there for the taking in those rounds.

Not unhappy with the results - hope Condit wasn't too badly hurt.

In other news my Gunnar walkout shirt arrived yesterday. Pretty poor material compared to the Primal shirt, but it's pretty enough.

Actually an exciting card for me. Several close fights. Jury made sanchez look ordinary which is no mean feat. Lombard was scary rd 1 but just faded, disappointing really. Felt so sorry for carlos, woodley was in front but condit could well of won that fight as he has amazing cardio and woodley was starting to gas. Hope he isnt out too long. Main event was great, I was rooting for robbie and he nearly had the belt. Credit to jonny he showed alot of guts to take the last round. Overall one of the more enjoyable cards this year.

Damn, now that is a broken nose!

Not bad fights, quite glad to see Jason come back, even though the TKO was slightly dodgy. Crowd certainly went quiet at times...

The Brazilian crowds annoy me so much, I find myself just wanting the Brazilian fighters to get KTFO!!!!! I'm all for home support but they just take it too far!

Was a good card though, Norman Parke was hard done by though, and the Siler stoppage was questionable when compared the the Maldanrdo or the Henderson fights.

Was there a fight night this week?

ETA: Not sure if was a fight night, but it was in Brazil, it was ok but you didn't miss any epic bouts

It was an absolute abortion. Don't waste your time.

Another slopfest. Can't stand Hendo, sorry. The rest of the card was abysmal.
