It was a good event overall. There were some boring fights but there were no upsets. All the people who were supposed to win won that night.

I'm also impressed with Lyoto. He should be getting a title shot in 2008 for sure.

yeah Machida should get a shot now, would be interesting match up with Rampage! Chuck and Wand looked like a bunch of amateur boxers in there, dissapointed.

[Sensei Tom OBrien]

As usual complete did a great break-down, round by round. And like you said no big surprizes. I also agree about Machida getting a title shot - check out his resume.
Thanks,
Tom
