Houston Alexander is a machine and I hope he moves up the ladder quickly since he's an "older" guy as well (I think it said he was 37?). Not that you can tell by how he's pummelling his opponents. Very impressive fighter.
Bisping got worked pretty good and looked very jittery and uncomfortable from the openeing bell. Hamil absolutley dominated the first round, but the 2nd and 3rd rounds were toss ups for me as neither right really dominated in any regard. Bisping pretending he dominated the fight at the end was pretty lame though, even his hometown fans were booing him and cheering Hamil, ouch!
I don't think the results really protrayed how much Cro-Crop actually got worked by Kongo. Outside of the first round takedown and ground work, he did pretty much nothing and Kongo was in control and pushing the pace, hunting down Cro-Crop with repeated vicious kicks and knees, albeit a few misplaced knees, but at the same time Cro-Crop did nothing to get off the cage and out of harms way. Kongo had improved since his last outing, but he still has holes in his game that would be exploited by a better, more well rounded fighter than Mirko. What a bust for the UFC on him thus far, I know I've been unimpressed after all the hype.
Dan Henderson looked really good in the first round, but I think he gassed pretty early and couldn't do as much, but even then still gave Rampage a really good fight. I'm looking forward to seeing more from him as well. Henderson vs. Silva/Franklin would be a great fight to see.
Overall, I thought the card was really good even with the commercial breaks (although the main event was commercial free which was awesome). |
