I want to go on record saying that as far as a title fight goes, this was an easy fight for JDS. Everyone knows Mir is a beast on the ground, but Junior had great takedown defense (shown tonight) and great boxing (also shown tonight). It was a no brainer that when you put a boxer against a guy like Mir who's all ground game, and it stays a standing fight, the boxer is going to win.
JDS caught a break. Had he fought Alistair tonight, we'd have a new Heavyweight champion.
With that said I'm excited at the probability of JDS/Cain II.

Dana just said in the presser it will probably be JDS/Cain II but didn't reveal the date.

....Oh my God - they killed Bigfoot!! You bastards!!! Seriously though, that was just nasty.... it looked as though Cain had gone in there with a chainsaw or something. Good performance by Dos Santos - as Mir said afterwards, if you can't take Junior down, you're forced into a boxing macth with him - and there was only ever going to be one winner there. It was great to see Hardy and Varner get impressive wins too - I was really surprised by Varner... I didn't give him much of a chance.

Great event. All my winners I got right.
What's this about Brock in talks to come back? Tell me that was BS.

...I think he was just there as a fan/former champion. Maybe if Mir had won, there might have been talks(?)

Anyone catch Mir say "Mandalay Bay" after he was asked where he was after round 1? Made me chuckle.

^ Yeah... I guess that's what happens when someone like Dos Santos punches you in the head, lol.
A bit of news (from MMAFighting):
** After a backstage incident following his loss to C.B. Dollaway at UFC 146, Jason Miller is now "done" in the UFC and all Zuffa-owned organizations, UFC president Dana White told reporters on Saturday night.
White refused to elaborate on exactly what that incident involved, beyond clarifying that it was "nothing physical," and requests for comment from Miller went unreturned. But according to White, the "something" that happened was enough to leave him feeling resolute in his decision to cut "Mayhem" after his recent 0-2 stint in the Octagon.
"Mayhem’s done. He’s gone," White said, adding that the incident was "just some bulls--t that I don’t want to talk about. We’re on a crazy string here of dumb bulls--t."
Miller’s loss to Dollaway on Saturday night was not without a few bright spots for the "Bully Beatdown" star. At several points in the fight he had Dollaway reeling from power punches, but every time he tried to follow up he found himself on his back. The unanimous decision loss was his second straight defeat in the UFC, following an ugly performance en route to a third-round TKO against Michael Bisping in December.
According to White, Miller didn’t help his cause when he made his entrance wearing a bizarre mask, one day after he showed up to weigh-ins clad in a pink feather boa.
"I’m not into that stuff," White said. "It’s not my thing. I guess I don’t really care if guys do it, because you see it at the weigh-ins all the time. You see stuff like that, but come on, man. Take this thing seriously. You want to be a clown? Do that on your reality show."
As for the backstage incident, White -- and, at least so far, Miller’s camp -- are both remaining silent as to exactly what happened.
"Doesn’t matter, he’s done," White said. "He’s not with us anymore."

Loved CB's head-to-chest technique.
... and I'll say one more time, ELBOWS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

I love elbows, they change the entire out look on a fight. That being said MMA might stand more of a chance being legalized if they was gone.

They cause cuts. Cuts impair sight. I seriously believe if the blood wasn't so much in Bigfoots eyes, Bigfoot would have gotten back to his feet. This is the guy that survived Fabricio Werdum's top game. elbows.

I called every single fight tonight. I usually do pretty good, but I went, what, 8-0 on this one? 9-0? 10? Whatever. Important thing is that the card was ing awesome, I enjoyed it very much. Much love to Mayhem. I hope he finds some work.
