I believe the UFC was disappointed in the results. The exciting, entertaining strikers, Lombard, Bahadurzada got out-fought by better fighters. The grapplers shut down their stand-up game.
The UFC is hoping that exciting strikers will help them get the fans going. But there is a problem with that thinking. Very often, wrestling-type fighters will beat more exciting stand-up type fighters. It's always been that way. That's the norm.
Silva vs. Stann - Fantastic fight. Vintage Wanderlei. He can't retire now. Not after that.
Hunt vs. Struve - Struve fought more passively and non-aggressively than he has in a long time. He didn't snap his jab in Hunt's face. He fought like a different fighter.
Sanchez vs. Gomi - I was surprised they gave it to Diego. I was delighted, but feel they robbed Gomi.
Okami vs. Lombard - Lombard should have been much more aggressive. His TD defense sucked to hell. He has the potential to be a little Tyson but needs to get consistent.
Kim vs. Bahadurzada - Kim shut him down and smothered him. Siyar will need to find better TD defense if he wants to fulfill his early potential.

He's down 2 rounds, and he takes the opponent down and holds him there, as if winning the round will win the fight? He's as dumb as an ox. Definitely lacks fighting brains.
Why wasn't his corner screaming at him to stand up and go for the KO finish? Man what a moron.

Not that I mind that much, I love Marko Hunto and have stopped waiting for Struve to reach his "full potential" a long time ago.
I think this is more or less the best Struve will ever be ... he's not the awkward noob he used to be, but he's definitely not beating anyone who will keep looking for his chin or take him into the 3rd.
I guess people need to remember that athleticism (mainly the ability to improve your cardio, I don't think Struve will have good cardio no matter how much he works on it ... it may get better, but it'll never be good, he's just not rigged that way) and intelligence are also things you need in order to calculate potential and not just physical gifts.

It was so damn magical! The Japanese fans are the greatest and even though some fights did not go the way I wanted (Caceres and Sanchez did not win those fights!), I had ana amazing time.
We got pics with Bruce Buffer, Kenny Florian, the Iceman Chuck Liddell, and this one guy ran into Sanchez coming out of the bathroom and Sanchez let him put him in a headlock for a picture.
Super classy and fantastic, I hope you all could see me,
for the last 4 fights I was down by the walkout area, trying to ham it up when the cameras panned out for the walkout!
I can't wait to do it again!!!

I am a bit annoyed at myself for picking Lombard too. Guy left his trigger at home with his cardio and TDD.

Yeah, you got screwed on both the Gomi and Mizugaki decisions. You should have been 10/11

Don't want to make wild assumptions but it seems weird since the UFC can sanction those events by them selfs.
