I don't think Rashad has been disrespected at all.  Just because I and others think he will lose to Jon Jones doesn't mean we're disrespecting him.  I like Rashad, I think he's great.

Sorry I had to miss this whole thread, didn't get to watch it live. Here are my thoughts, tell me what you think:

-TWAS is for ******* real

-Belfort's power at middleweight is crazy, Akiyama has a great jaw, but he got wrecked

-Didn't see the Pace/Menjivar fight so I can't give any thoughts on the decision

-Tito shouldn't get cut, give him Nogueira

-I don't care what any of you say, Mendes is boring.

-Rory Mcdonald is a very real prospect, despite his ridiculous nickname

-Rivera needs to retire, and Costa is not very good, to say the least

-More than anything, the Hendricks/Pierce fight showed how good Fitch is. Hendricks couldn't get Pierce down for his life, but Fitch dominated from on top.

-Rashad's good. I've liked him since he left Jackson's and joined Imperial. He is a real threat to Jones.

Here are my final thoughts. evans is my favorite fighter and i think he has a much better chance at beating jones than anybody out there. tito put up a great fight for 1.5 rounds but the knee to the solar plex was brutal and so was evans slam. i would love to see evans slam jones like that.
 
Pace definitely got robbed. he was on the back of his opponent for 2 minutes trying to sink in that choke, he got hit in the groin twice. had the two best knees to the face. one of which did serious damage and had his opponent just running away for the last 1.20 minutes. then he caught him with another brutal knee to the chin.
 
Ebersole is for real and i hope they give him a top ten guy next. 

I think pierce could make lightweight.  

Tito should get another fight and gave a good speech and if rivera wants another fight i think he should get one. that fight went back and forth 
 
Belforts knockout was beautiful and i would love to see him vs stann, leben or chael

Tito will get at least 2 more fights no matter what

As great as Rashad looked and believe in him, I still think Phil Davis is the person to beat Jon Jones, and from what I saw from Rashad tonight I think Phil could have beat him.

Rivera has my respect no matter what.

I would like to see Vitor against any top contender.

Akiyama vs Munoz/Leben loser.

Dan Uggla is on FIRE!!! Watch out Phillies!!!!

About Rivera deserving another fight: I think he does as well, it was a close fight and he only lost to Bisping due to that knee, but his wrestling and ground game is so ridiculously bad. I'm a fan of the guy but it's hard to watch someone who has been in the sport for so long and still hasn't evolved at all. 

About Rashad: Yes it was a great performance and I would give him a solid chance at beating Jones. I think Machida and Hendo would be more likely to beat Jones though.

About Belfort: He would destroy Stann and Leben. Chael would be competitve but I'd pick Vitor. I'd love to see him fight Bisping.

I dont know if anyone I think Rashad is the one with the chance to win the belt, Im holding out until after the Jones/Rampage fight to really judge Jones, but I can see Tito headlining another fight or at least a co main event, the UFC owes him one for taking this fight

People were giving this card crap because of all the changes. But like I have said before the lower profile cards are some of the best, A: because I think some of these guys feel the should be on a card that is getting more attention i.e. a card with a title fight and they fight harder because of it to prove themselves B: These are great fighters despite  their level of popularity and C: And this one may be a little bit of a stretch but the expectations for the event are somtimes a little lower because of the lack of knowledge the casual fan has for guys that aren't big draws. i.e. GSP, Brock Lesner, or Anderson Silva.

But I really liked the card even though Tito lost. PlusI didn't get to change the last of my predictions with all of the card changes. But atleast I did go 7 for 7
