@Mortis: I know what Wanderlei said, but given his past with calling out the champion and the fact that he just finished a top10 fighter in the first round, I did not expect him to ask for a fight with an aging legend when he could probably get a top5 LHW for a fight that actually matters

Gos this sucks. I've always loved Wandy and I've always loved Chael P.

No idea who I am going to side with.

Before this fight, I said that 1) Chael's striking is freaking good and that 2) The possibility of him submitting Shogun was far greater than people realized. 

I got 8 thumbs down in total for that.

Anyway, I've been depressed and an emotional wreck latley, and it may be my slight bi-polarity talking. But that card was really freaking amazing, top three if not number one from the year so far. It significantly made me feel happier.

that tends to happen. You won't get 8 "I guess you were right"s though. That's for damn sure.

@idrownfish
Right, looking back that was a fairly accurate prediction for this fight, yet the number of bold predictions usually outmatches the number of upsets so you are just another statistical hiccup to me ;)
should that be a reoccuring pattern though, I'll make sure to pay better attention to you

The final four fights were really great. After feeling a low after the first two main card fights, the rest of them picked it up and brought it.

this is the ******* best UFC card of the year. 

it's a bittersweet taste though. it was awesome from the prelims to the main event, apart from that friggin' Lauzon fight (*** dude?)... but c'mon, Shogun tapping to Sonnen in the first? that's sad. I feel honestly sad for Shogun.

@stange

I don't mind people disagreeing with me, the only problem I have with the thumbs down in this website is that many times people get thumbed down simply because they have a different opinion than most, and want to actually discuss the fight and its possible outcomes.

By the way, I will keep cheering for The Reem. His case is pretty similar to Chael's: both are incredibly good fighters that are hindered by their weak-ass minds. The day Alistair wakes up is gonna be a bad day for the other heavyweight contenders. Heck, Alistair's case might be the worst ever in terms of hindered potential, he is a really three-dimensional fighter that can grapple, strike and wrestle against the best, and he still finds ways to lose.

Even if he drops back to 185 he has to be ranked in the top 10 LHWs, at least like 7
