Wow, that fight ended faster than the first Cain vs Bigfoot fight. The result was not surprising to me at all. Cain Valesquez vs. Junior Dos Santos III is next. I can't wait.
annoying that's he just a bit better than your average scrub and the HW division is so thin. he'll just always float around. had no business being in the ring against Cain the first time tbh.
In the post-fight press conference, Forrest Griffin just announced his retirement. Dana White said that Forrest will still work for the UFC in a role similar of what Chuck Liddell and Matt Hughes are doing.
Fight of the Night - Junior Dos Santos
Submission of the Night - Glover Teixeira
Knockout of the Night - TJ Grant
Dana White said that he was going to give Knockout of the Night to JDS but Mike Tyson "vetoed" him and said that TJ Grant deserves Knockout of the Night.
Definitely, very happy also that Cigano won. Hunt really doesn't look like a fighter, and I don't like his slow style. Cigano owned him 90% of their fight. Also, Cain proved again how great he is, beating Big Foot like that in the first round for the WHC, is impressive.
JDS/Hunt was very fun and had a great finish, JDS looked good as did his whip of a right hand. But the heavyweight division is so thin plus you have cormier possibly going to 205? who is there at HW apart from cain, JDS, nelson, werdum and overeem not very deep at all.
TJ Grant finishing Maynard was impressive and so quickly.
1. JDS-Hunt was just glorious, and especially the punch in the first round was so brutal.
2. Cerrone fought smart and picked Noons apart nicely. I'm not his biggest fan but I think he'll bounce back.
3. Glover really is a BEAST. Slightly disappointed of the fight tho. Was expecting a slugfest.
4. Velasquez dismantled Bigfoot, but I wouldn't call Silva a slouch. Cain just is on a whole another level than him.
5. It seems Grant is due to a title shot. Personally I would've put him against someone else first and then if he wins, the championship match but whatever. I'll still watch it.
I was legit shocked that Grant stopped Maynard. I thought Maynard would blast him or at the very least muscle him on the ground and avoid Grant's sub attempts but kudos to him. I too would have him fight someone else but there is no other clear contender right now with Pettis fighting Aldo.
The heavyweight division is a joke, I don't really wanna see JDS/Velasquez 3. I would honestly rather see Roy Nelson get a title shot, I think he's earned it. I don't think he can beat Cain either, but he deserves a chance. And after Nelson makes quick work of Miocic, I think they should give him the winner of JDS/Velasquez.
Nelson would end up being a punching bag for 25 minutes. Not saying that's a bad thing. Big Country is endlessly entertaining. Pretty sure Werdum will get the next shot if he beats Big Nog though.
DC, Barnett, and Overeem could all string together runs.
Heavyweight isn't a bad division at all. It's just that Cain & JDS are way ahead of the pack.
Think Big Country could KO him, but this is the same guy who was toyed with, when it came to Mir.
Still waiting for them to pick up Sergei, Want him to fight JDS.
