    Robbie Lawler looked great.

    Man what a snoozer this MacDonald vs Ellenberrger fight is when it had so much potential if each guy wasn't trying to feel one another out the entire fight. I like Rory but after that mess I would dock both these guys in the Welterweight rankings because that was painful to watch.

    It's very hard to pick against Mighty Mouse in the main event but I never bet any favorite over -180 it's like a golden rule I have in MMA.

    Well ya anything can happen (Silva).

    Took Moraga for half profit from Rory. Which I agree they both held back bigtime. Why didn't Ellenberger do that the whole third round instead of the last minute? Instead he just let Rory jab him to the loss.

    Rory is definitely looking good thought and is going to be a GSP-like force...even if his fights are a bit boring.

    There were no winners in that fight. We all lost for having to sit through that shit. Ellenberger lost because he couldn't get near Rory and Rory lost because that "elusive" "jabby" performance just set him back 2 or 3 places on the ww depth chart imo.

    looks like late money on Moraga. Went from +400 to +350

    It's true anything can happen and the Flyweight division is still very new but I don't think it's fair to compare a hungry fighter in Johnson to Silva who clearly lost his motivation vs. Weidman.

    Ellenberger didn't seem to try at all until maybe a little in the third round. He is a much more aggro fighter then that and he had to know he stood no chance without trying to bring that which in part I'll credit Rory for not allowing but Ellenberger just didn't try hard at all.

    Ellenberger-MacDonald wasn't that bad. They neutralized each other & for all the smack talk Ellenberger did you'd think he'd try & finish this fight instead of playing it so safe.

    The match that pisses me off was the Edwards-Cruikshanks bout on the prelims. Cruikshanks runs the whole time & wins. I can see it if he outstruck while counterpunching or his strikes were more effective but they weren't. He must have gotten credit for a bunch of flashy kicks that didn't land at all. I mean when the guy blocks them all cleanly how can they give him credit for a significant strike? Some of them were so weak that even if they landed I'd be hard pressed to call them significant. That decision was a joke.

    This has been a total mismatch for the first 2 rounds. Of course this is MMA & anything can happen going forward.

    Yup

    Moraga needs a lucky punch or sub from back.

    Power has nothing on extreme speed when you can't hit a guy.

    Mighty Mouse strategy is pure genius.

    The best and really only good punch from Moraga but Johnson recovered quickly though he was bleeding.

    Moraga's last hope is if somehow he can land a nose punch again but good luck with that.

    If Moraga was a legitimate contender then this division is in real trouble. He had nothing but a punchers chance.

    I thought he would of had more fight in him, kinda liked the thug aspect. The flying knee attempt after that solid punch was stupid, whiffed and just landed on his back. And his ground game was terrible, needs to work on the bjj, but has potential that guy.

    Not sure what fight you were watching its was awful. Even Dana said it was, and he spins the worst shit to make it seem good.

    Main event was a great fight though.

    The sad thing is people who dont fight dont realize who good Moraga really is. MM is just on another level then anyone in that weight class.
