Final Thoughts:

  • Nate Diaz didn’t know what hit him.  Rory MacDonald is a fighter to watch!
  • I hate that Randy Couture got KO’d in his last fight.  Machida said in a post fight interview that Steven Seagal taught him the front kick that he used to KO Couture.
  • GSP did what he needed to do to defeat a very game Jake Shields.  After the fight GSP headed to the hospital to be checked out and missed the post-fight interviews.  I was of the opinion that GSP, if he won would go up in weight and fight Anderson Silva.  I’m not so sure about that now.
  • Next up UFC 130 on May 28th: Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard // Matt Hamill vs. Quinton Jackson // Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson
