Good night of fights, I can't recall any boring ones. Methods completely eluded me tonight but 8/12 ain't terrible(still shoulda been 9/12 with Omigawa dec. and possibly 10/12 with the Maia one). Stout KO was sweet, PeeWee/JOE was an awesome fight, and a nice standing guillotine.

With 12-0 my pick percentage will go back up to 84%, after that TUF finale brought it down. Isn't my percentage supposed to be going down, not up? Just kidding, I know it'll eventually drop into the 70's. I challenge someone to beat my 3600 points from the last 6 UFC events. I haven't picked many non-UFC fights, but for what it's worth, I'm 100% in those, if you don't consider the Mousasi robbery a detraction from that. I think everyone should just copy my predictions from now on.

Carwin showed a ton of heart, but JDS proved why he is the only clear threat to Cain's title. I still expect him to lose to the champ, however.
I think Weidman has the makings of a real contender at 185, although beating Bongfelt isn't going to prove that. Time for a solid test.
The Herman/Einemo fight was entertaining, but Herman did not impress me at all. He's done for if he brings that style into a fight with Carwin, JDS, or even Mir.
I thought the Maia/Munoz fight was closer than the scorecards would lead one to believe, but it wasn't an outrageous decision.
Florian took some time to get acclimated, but I thought he looked good. One more win and he should get a shot at Aldo, but I still think Mendes should be next in line should he win his next fight.
