UFC ON FOX 2 LEAVES ME SO DEPRESSED!

Yeah, Rashad won - but for the 12th time in 15 fights when facing opponents 6'0" or larger dating back to and including his fights on TUF 2, he didn't finish the fight (by contrast, he has finished both of the opponents under 6'0" he has faced over that same period). 

In addition, with Chael Sonnen's "moral defeat" against Michael Bisping, you can forget about Sonnen beating Anderson Silva this summer.  I don't care if Anderson Silva was turning 97 in April instead of the allegedly "cursed" age of 37; anyone who now thinks that Sonnen is going to beat AS on the latter's home field (as in soccer field?) ought to have their head examined. 

And to add insult to injury from my point of view - which is that Rashad must move down to middleweight (a very real possibility if Anderson Silva were to lose the title there) - Lyoto Machida is making loud noises about doing that; and if he does it, no way Rashad will, since that effectively removes Rashad's loss to Machida from Rashad's record, for the purposes of determining the 205-pound rankings. 

Rashad deserves a better fate than spending the rest of his career battling for second place at light heavyweight; but that is now precisely the fate for which he is headed, after the Jones-Evans fight proves to be a carbon copy of either the Johnny Bedford-Louis Gaudinot fight from the TUF 14 finale card, or the Anderson Silva-Forrest Griffin fight from UFC 101.

@wilflet Yeah, that's true. At that point the winner of Lauzon vs. Pettis is probably the best bet. If it's Pettis market it as the rematch of a FOTY winner. If it's Lauzon, he's on a streak against Guillard and the guy that beat Ben last.

yeah that works, if frankie wins i dont see a problem with miller getting a shot with another win, and if diaz wins yeah 3-0 since return to lw, if timings work out give him the shot, if not how about diaz vs maynard 2?

So sure of Bens win... Hasn't anybody learned from underestimating Frankie Edgar?

ADCC Maia needs to kill K1 Maia.

I was also severely disappointed with last nights action.  And not just the fights either.  If i hadn't recorded it because I was at work, and been able to FFW through ALL THE ******* COMMERCIALS, i probably wouldn't have watched it except for the main fights.  I couldn't believe they were going to commercials in between rounds.  I understand they were free and they need to advertise to make their money, but that was ********.  And if I did have to watch it live, and sit through the commercials, I would have been even moe dissappointed when NONE of the fights on the main card delivered.   Would anyone else agree that was the worst card of 2012 so far?
