I thought Amir's fight was the best of the night, but that's just me. Great night of action outside of the last two fights.

of the 4 main card, i agree amir/darkness was the best fight. zombie/garcia was fun too, though it seemed like garcia trying to fight from a more technical standpoint, hindered him a bit. after watching last night, i almost think hes better off swinging his wild bullpoop haymakers.
i also didnt mind the lil nog/davis fight. johnson outright dominated hardy, which is a shame because thatll just drop dan down the card a bit more, but he is a name so i doubt theyll keep him off the main card whenever he fights anyway. but lil nogs defense on davis' takedowns was superb. even off his back, nog was great, it was just davis was so relentless, that every time nog kicked him off and tried to get away, davis would track him down and get his back.
i did have nog/davis a 29-28 to davis... giving the 1st round to nog. i thought one of the judges would have agreed, but i suppose if you had it 2-0 after the 1st 2, that would have taken away a bit of the drama from the fight anyway.

I really wanted Johnson to KO Hardy. But in hindsight, I'm glad the fight went down the way it did. It's good to see guys who may come off as one dimensional, or weak in areas, impose will in said areas. I know it may not be saying much against Hardy's ground game, but still....

30-27 was a bit of a stretch, but Davis definitely won that fight. Rogerio's takedown defense looked excellent. Davis is good, but still has a long way to go before fighting for the belt IMO.

Man, that twister-sub (...sounds like an ad for a sandwich...) was awesome.
I don't know why the crowd were hating on Johnson so much... he fought a great fight.

I feel bad for Hardy. Yeah he might be "one dimensional" and all, but whatever. I've been a big fan of his since his debut. But damn he's gone downhill fast...
Totally dominated by GSP Nasty KO from Condit Dominated completely once more by Johnson
That's 3 decisive losses in a row. I have a feeling his next fight might be for his job.

In fairness, he is really fighting top competition... But yeah, you're probably right.

No offense to Condit, but I thought Hardy was getting the better of the stand up before getting knocked out. And it's not like Hardy was on the defense at the time. They both threw punches, and Condit's landed first and more accurate.
But I do see what you guys mean.

Condit is the real deal. Took a few big shots from Hardy and kept going.

Don't get me wrong, I had Carlos as my pick for that fight. I just thought Hardy was outstriking him at the time of the knockout, so it's not as "vicious" vs if Carlos was hitting him with constant combos and then KOed him.
