Post event thoughts:
Cub Swanson is the the Carlos Condit of the the FW division. He brings the pressure and finds a way to win despite not having a controlling style. Siver's ground game is underrated.
Munoz is not as good as I hoped, but better than most people give him credit for. He's probably not going to be champ ever, but I would really only favor a couple guys to beat him.
Roger should retire. I am a fan of his grappling, but he just isn't going to pan out in MMA. He doesn't have the right tools or style and he isn't hungry. I was disappointed that he didn't move off the back and look for an arm or triangle when it became apparent that he wasn't going to get the choke. And then, he gassed. I am not really sure how since he spent most of the round chilling with a body triangle. Maybe he experienced the classic UFC jitters. I really don't think Kennedy is a very good fighter over all and doesn't do anything particularly well. He isn't bad at anything, but he is going to lose to the top guys everytime IMO.
Frankie gonna Frankie. But at least he started throwing actual punches with purpose in the 3rd.
I think I will bet Silva in a rematch. Weidman isn't a better striker over all and Anderson figured out the takedowns. Regardless of how many strikes he actually landed, from my view, it was not different than any number of Silva fights where he doesn't throw many, and then he does and you go down. He got caught yes, but I wouldn't count on that happening again. That said, I was glad to see it as I really never liked Silva and I always liked Weidman.2012: +19.33

They didnt. Silva landed four leg strikes and one punch before getting KO'd . Wiedman landed one punch and one front kick, then the KO punch and two additional ground strikes before it was stopped. I counted five strikes from each in the round, but three of Weidman's were the KO sequence2015 MMA BETTING CHAMP

Munoz isnt that good , Boetsch was just highly overrated going into the fight. I'd still bet almost any top 10 MW against Munoz.
Frankie has lost some steps . Those wars have taken something out of him . I'd take Swanson over him at decent dog odds.2015 MMA BETTING CHAMP

I agree with Luke on Frankie. At some points in the fight it looked like Oliveira should have poured it on Edgar because he looked kind of shook/slightly wobbly. Also, one thing I hate about Oliveira in a betting perspective is his willingness to go to his back. If he can't get shit done from there, the judges will more than likely give the other guy the round even if he is the more active guy from the bottom.
Swanson/Edgar in a 5 rounder...I want it.Comment

Belfort has already called out Weidman and said he has earned the shot.
Good comment from Weidman.
