I feel good about my picks. I think going with Edwards was my best pick, that knock out was just what he needed. Love to see veterans getting wins like that.

Almost 50%  should have had more faith in Gus . honestly did'nt think he was in Rua's league yet. and should have changed my pick when BJ didnt have a 6 pack at weigh ins.

Got my highest finish ever on this event. Did the play-by-play for Henderson/Diaz if you guys wanna check it out.

Ben dominated this fight from bell to bell. There's still one fight before Aldo moves up, if Aldo wins. The winner of Cerrone/Pettis. But really, there's still a bunch of guys right there within 2 or 3 fights. Cerrone, Pettis, Lauzon, Maynard, Varner, and if Guillard could put together a streak I'm sure that could still be put together. All of those are good fights, but I honestly think Ben will complete a trilogy with Cerrone and fight Pettis for the 2nd time next year if he remains champion throughout 2013.

What if the worst thing ever happens...

The commission decides Ben loses the fight or gets a NC because of the toothpick lol.

That would suck sooooooo bad.

Yeah that would really suck, still don't get why he would do that. He seems to always have one.

This is one of the best cards of the year, but a really uneventful Main Event. Henderson was the better man and just wrecked Diaz standing up and nullified his boxing and BJJ. And it was really messed up how it worked, like punching the thigh and punching the calf? really? That is what I call Improv. Bendo really was humbled by this and that was cool with him. After seeing that I would love to see him fight Eddie Alvarez or Michael Chandler maybe even a rematch with Pettis. 

Great Game Plan from Bendo, but FOX doing its random censoring really pissed me of. But it was the best free event that the UFC has done.

But on the bad note. MY PICKS SUCKED
