BJ is officially done, and I don't think it is his motivation, I think guys are just better now at this ruleset. BJ's cardio was there, he just couldn't do anything with Rory, and he was getting lit up standing. I thought BJ would at least win round 1, but he just had nothing. At least he isn't getting KO'd every time like Hughes did when he got passed up.
Shogun could have won that fight IMO. Gustafsson started to take over late, but I thought Shogun won Rd 1. Gustafsson has nothing for JOnes though, I used to think that would be a different kind of challenge for Jones, but Jones is going to thrown him on his back and clobber him.
Swick, WTF. I had that totally backward. I thought Swick would be better everywhere, but it was Brown that was ahead in all phases. I don't know if Swick has gotten worse, or if Brown has gotten better. All of the sudden Brown is a grappling wizard and has takedowns to boot...
Bendo dominated, which is pretty much what I thought would happen. Diaz just looked completely outclassed out there. I think we just saw an exact preview of Diaz/GSP. Bendo is great to watch, and Diaz came to fight, but just couldn't, fun fight to watch from my perspective.
