Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen.

Well that was pretty fuckin' depressing...
Just got back from watching with a bunch of guys and everyone just kind of shuffled out...
I mean from Jens to Cub to Urijah - it wasn't like we thought they were robbed, or even the best man lost - just... wtf?
I can't say I remember a card that was so full of no joy...
Upside is I want to see Aldo/Brown even more.
Question is - why couldn't Brown finish a one (or no) handed fighter? - and can he handle an Aldo striker, or does he just ground Aldo and pull weak bullshit-no finish crap like he did with Faber?
There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

I thought it was a great card. A couple of crazy finishes. But I don't really let it bother me when if a fighter I like loses. It's more important for me to see a good fight than who wins. I enjoyed all of the fights last night and wouldn't label any of them as boring.
Don't know if you guys saw this but Roy Nelson and Wes Sims lined up for TUF 10 w/ Kimbo. I don't think there is anyway Roy Nelson could NOT be the favorite from the start.

Good fights?
Let's recap: Six first round flashes (for a total of ~13 minutes), a second round finish, one split decision, one uni, and a no finish 'champ'?
Yeah, about sixty minutes of action in all, including the non-televised.
The card looked good, and as I said, I was for good matches, not necessarily favorites - but this was a meh.
