Glad but can't believe Jorgensen/Albert got FOTN, deservedly, because it was the lone facebook prelim. 
Siver's legit at FW.
Trujillo has promise. Bye bye Levesseur.
Cruikshank was robbed, especially considering how tough Martinez showed he is.
Ramsey's coming along, maybe a bit slowly, especially with his striking. Proctor looked promising in a loss.
Not a terrible loss for Easton but a pretty nice win for Assuncao. One more win vs. Mizugaki, Menjivar, or Jorgensen and he's "in the mix"
Yves reminds us of why he was the uncrowned LW champ. Pickin' up BJ's slack :(
Matt Brown for Comeback Fighter of the Year who will still be an underdog in his next fight :)
BJ has absolutely nothing left to prove.
Rory needs to fight Hendricks if GSP is ducking him. 
I'll watch Shogun vs. anybody. What a legend. Another fight, especially vs. Rashad, would be good for Alex.
Most impressive performance of Henderson's career so far but for god's sake I don't want to hear the word dominant used again when referring to this fight. Systematic, methodical, clearcut, and thorough fine but it was a bit too cautious to be called dominant: make sure not to take him to the ground until you've worked up a good sweat and even then not so much until later when you've wore him down thus reducing the risk of getting caught in a sub? Check. Don't stand at range for more than a few seconds without clinching up or shooting even though that was where you were closest to finishing the fight because it's where he might have a better chance of scoring something? Check. Just my opinion.

GSP is not ducking Hendrick. if you honestly think that i feel sorry for your uneducated ass.  He fought Alves when Alves was on a much scarier tear.  He does not fear Hendrick. He would beat Hendrick down. Diaz has been talking **** for years. And GSP has ,made it known that if he is to fight Anderson he is to move to middle weight forever. It will come out after he beats Diaz that GSP is to fight Anderson silva next.  GSP most likely was like if you want me to fight Anderson then I want to beat down Diaz first so i don't have him talking godly amounts of crap once I am safely removed from his division.  He wants to make a statement to diaz to prove once and for all that diaz aint on his level. It not ducking, it simply that he wants the man who been talking **** for years from the safety of strike force.

@mulefloyd, I agree Benson fought a very smart, techincal fight, but more than dominant I think he nullified Diaz and even so Nate is a smarter fighter than Nick  imo, the Diaz brothers seem to have problems adapting and coming up with a different game plan other than a straight forward attack, I mean come on Nate you couldn't lift your lead leg 10 inches to check those kicks?

anyway kuddos to Ben, and I think his days of fighting with a toothpick in his mouth are over, let us hope that  is not his lucky toothpick ;)

Matt Brown is discretely impressive, nobody seems to notice him until they get KO'd by him, he didn't received not one Q in the post press, he showed me to go with my gut the next time and never again pick against him (well not never) I hope he gets a top 10 for his next fight, I think Koscheck would make a fine victim

"he is going to the hospital, and im going to the after party, ha ha ha" Nate Diaz

Fighter payouts were released. I just have one question. How in the hell does Ben Henderson get less show pay than any of the 4 main card losers?

^Probably still on some kind of WEC contract. Or when he signed his current, it was before anyone thought he would be champ. I wouldn't stress it, he's probably getting assloads of money from the UFC in locker room bonuses.
