Predictions: 6 of 8 Winners, 1 Perfect, 325 Points   |   Tied for 920th

UFC 139 was a fantastic card, the best of the year IMO.  What were your favorite moments?

For me:
1. Hendo landing several H-bombs and Shogun taking them.
2. Vintage Wand swarming for the finish on Le.
3. Hendo reversing back control to end up in Shogun's guard in round 4.
4. Faber's uppercut and guillotine.

Near the end of the 4th round when Hendo had his arms completely down, Shogun was just cleanly punching him in the face. Hendo looked like a zombie; he was just standing there, taking clean punch after clean punch. That was my favorite moment.

Wand scoring a KO win in vintage fashion!  

The entirety of Shogun vs. Hendo.  That was the greatest MMA fight I've ever seen.

Wand celebrating his win.

It was clear how much he loves the sport and how much love he has for his fans. Watching him share that moment with his fans was awesome. It was long overdue and it was everything I thought it would be.

War wand.

So glad to see Wanderlei beat Cung Le.  It would have stung to see him get beat by a guy as overrated as Le.  Nice vintage Wanderlei in that fight, at least at the finish.

Cung Le is overrated.  His biggest win is over Frank Shamrock.  He's lucky he was facing a faded Wanderlei, or it would have been a lot worse for him.

@jody i disagree i think if LE really works on MMA and comes in in better shape Le can be very dangerous.

Alot of people don't know but Le doesn't just have crazy kicks he also has a wrestling backround.

"Is reality really realistic?"

Yeah, a community college wrestling background.  Did him a lot of good in this fight.  

People talk about him like he's a threat when it comes to grappling, but there is no proof of that.  If you can avoid his fancy kicks for the first round, he'll get tuckered out and won't be able to do them anymore.

His dedication to training for this sport is clearly lacking, and he's been able to get away with it thus far because he's been promoted like crazy and matched very carefully.  He should go back to being in movies, he's a bit better actor than he is a fighter.
