Personally I love cards that are not saturated with hype. Get to see new talent. A lot of folks desperate to put on a show, make an impact, prove themselves. I love MMA in an of itself, so it's also nice to enjoy the sport with no expectations.

Wow... really thought Alves would make a better showing than that... Condit looked really good after the 1st (especially for someone who's been out of the Octagon for well over a year!). But man, I thought Alves would be more of a challenge.... I know he's been on the decline (and probably on his way to Bellator) but I thought for sure, since it was in Brazil (which he hasn't fought in in a long time) in front of all his fans, that he'd at least put up a good fight...damn it, ATT!!!!!!! COME ON!!

i dunno man, that first round could've been a draw, or a 10-9 for alves. his striking was super effective, I thought he looked good. in the second condit started coming on strong, and the broken nose just fucked everything up.
compared to the alves that went to a decision two fights ago with seth bazynski, I thought the alves last night looked great.
hes only on a one fight losing skid, and ufc keeps their veterans around for a while, even after multiple losses. look at dan hardy, he lost four straight after his loss to st pierre, n he is still under contract with the ufc. frank mir, lost 4 straight before beating bigfoot silva. alves wants to fight for six more years, I dunno if that's realistic, but I do think we'll see him retire in the ufc.

No doubt. Honestly, I haven't seen Alves' last couple fights. I did think round one was more Condit shaking off the cobwebs then Alves looking good... I guess I was just expecting too much from this fight lol

yeah, I got that impression, lol.
alves will never contend for the title again, but he can have an exciting fight against anyone. Im looking forward to seeing him fight again.
carlos on the other hand, I don't see him beating rory or tyron.

Yessir!!  DC will whoop some Swedish ass and Chris.... honestly, I dunno. If I had to pick one, I think I'd lean toward Chris but you cant count out Rockhold. He's a beast... but I think both will retain the belts. What do you think? Which is the better matchup? I think Luke and Chris will be the fight.

I like Gustafson, but in reality, he only has one top 10 win, in a declining shogun. I don't see him beating Cormier. I see Cormier smothering him up against the cage to avoid his boxing.
Weidman rockhold is a tossup. literally. I feel like chris' top game has what it takes to pull off a win, but rockhold has great bjj, and already beat another huge middleweight grappler in jacare. I honestly think that is gonna be a great fight. I wanna see rockhold win though.

Henderson vs boetsch was a 25 second fight. There is no way in hell that won fight of the night, it wasn't even a fight 
Poirier and Henderson for performance of the night. Only cause they're bigger draws, but props to birchak and Rivera.

I guess I'm a bit biased I love Big Dan. Ever since the Bisping fight I've been like, damn this guy can fight.
