"Went 10-2 but my happiest moment was when Wanderlei won, that was so awesome. And the main event...FOTY. "

@Swickotine, those were my thoughts exactly! (on all three points)

Wow I still can't get over that fight, truly amazing, I don't even care who wins the Jones/Machida fight now, Hendo's going to be the champ.

What ******* judge actually saw that fight for Rick Story? I almost thought Kampmann was going to get robbed again.

Bad, bad card for me, haha.

Shogun Hendo was probably the best fight of all time. I need to rewatch it sober but Oh my GOD! Crazy ass fight. I don't know how the hell the 5th wasn't 10-8, but oh well. I'm trying not to complain about that too much because that fight was ******* great.

Wanderlei/Le was sick. I made a fool of myself everytime Wanderlei landed anything, but oh well, haha. Every time he landed a punch "F*CK YEAH WANDY!!! SWARM HIM!!!" When he finished I was pumped as hell. 

The rest of the main card was boring, outside of Faber/Bowles but I was so emotionally un-invested in that fight that I didn't really enjoy it. 

I'd like to see Hendo fight Judas Jones next, but that probably won't happen since there are 3 people in line. I want Shogun/Rampage 2. Hopefully this fight doesn't hold Rua out of title contention for too long.

Also I loved seeing Wanderlei fight smart. I think I want him to retire, but it's cool to see him adapt when everyone said he never would. He circled,  he picked his shots, and he swarmed when he had to.
