Good (mostly) main card, but the pre-card was terrible - 3 fights in 2 hours?
The first fight was circa 1 minute, half an hour later the 2nd fight was like one guy in the gym with a training dummy throwing it around and the 3rd had nothing really wrong with it, but it was pretty boring.So, fight night last Friday was.... OK? Souza worked out a tough opponent, Overeem NEEDS to go back the 'The Demolition Man' nickname before he's cut, and both heavyweight wins were slightly unsporting in their celebration.
(Need to see Cain and Showtime back asap - plus I've finally decided I WANT to see Jon Bones get KTFO).
TUF is starting again shortly - women only, with a belt at the end!

Overeem really is a frustrating fighter. He has the speed, power and accuracy to take out any heavyweight, but it's like he has forgotten how to use head movement and footwork. He also has great reach, if you have a slightly iffy chin you have to do your best not to get hit! Really worried he might get cut, not sure what he can do as he has trained with the blackzillians and now with jackson mma with no real improvement. Felt sorry for Gegard too, Jacare dragged him into his world. Actually think he could give Weidman real problems.

Now the big question - is Arlovski back, or was Bigfoot unable to fight due to much less testosterone being in his system...
Or, to play Devil's Advocate, did Arlovski time his cycles well enough Nah, kidding aside he's a beast, but it's hard to say after that fight whether he's as good as ever - it wasn't testing his endurance. Still got the potential to spoil someone's day, clearly. I do hate that I see fighters at 35 and wonder what they're doing, I'm far too cynical.
