Erm... I posted like 3 hours before the show started. I was long gone by first bell.

As for the show, I thought Nick Diaz won against Joe Riggs but he only has himself to blame for not doing anything much in the 3rd round. The second round I thought Diaz won but I can see why people thought he lost (I think some people confused him fighting on his back as him losing). The judge who scored it 30-27 needs a drug test immediately. Diaz was in phenominal shape and was never going to gas so he should have taken the fight to him constantly.

As for the poster boy Frank Mir...

It looked like he got worried when his leg went out and he blatantly wanted the doctor to stop the fight when he checked the cut but he couldn't quit himself.. He was right about being away too long though. He seriously needs to regroup.

Randy Couture's entrance was fucking electric. I had the same excitement for this fight as I used to get for the big heavyweight boxing fights. UFC has long passed boxing now in my opinion. Fight went pretty much like I thought it would (someone seriously just needs to rush Liddell from the bell and zap his strength). I watched all the guys from the first fight to last thinking about how great Nick Diaz looked conditioning wise. Then Randy comes out and looks in unbelievable shape for any MMA fighter, nevermind a 42 year old. Glad he hung up the gloves now though. He has been a true warrior and the best spokesperson for the UFC there has ever been or probably ever will be. Gotta get Rampage into the Octogan now though for a fight with Liddell while Tito Ortiz rebuilds his career.
