Final thoughts:

  • I’m not sure what to think about Diego SanchezDana White, after last night’s fight, said Diego needs to go back down to 155.  Perhaps Dana’s right.
  • Although Little Nog barely beat Brilz, there are many who think Brilz won the fight [including one of the judges who scored that fight].
  • Mike Russow was a fighter that few [including me] thought had a chance to win last night.  Yet, Russow never gave up and in the 3rd round knocked out Todd Duffee with one shot.  Way to go, Russow.
  • Rashad Evans earned the win over Rampage Jackson with a unanimous decision.  I thought it was interesting that Jackson will a co-star in this summer’s A-Team movie and Evans wore trunks promoting The Expendables.  That made me doubly happy that Evans won.  ; )
