@Yoss I get that this card is market specific but in general I think this year has had some really really weak cards. I think they are overextending themselves somewhat now.

I wouldn't go around praising Woodley's power just yet, Dong set himself up for the perfect counter there. One minute into the fight and he throws a wild (and pretty sloppy) spinning back elbow against a guy as fast as Woodley? I mean... Come on.

That's what you get for "throwing spinning ****."

Ya, don't praise the guy's power ... I mean, it's not like he KTFO'd Jay Hieron and Josh Koscheck, snapped Condit's head back 3-4 times in their fight and counter-dong'd the Dong. 

Yes, Dong flung himself into that, but Woodley is a powerful man.

@TAMANinja, I agree ... which is why I edited and wrote that even though this card is a product for a specific market and not necessarily watered down, there is actually a lot of watering down going on (as I pointed out with UFC 177).

Also, you can just take a look at the UFC's roster ... the second half of the big divisions consists of a lot of watered down talent (if we're talking about UFC-level, that is).

I want to see some spinning ****, but I also want to see people get bent out of shape if Bisping wins. Torn!
