Yeah that was a terrible decision. I thought Rua had it 3-2 or even 4-1, but if you let the fight get to the judges that is what can happen. Rua even said in a post-fight interview that he was told by his corner he was in the lead, and he didn't feel the need to press the action.

Looking back I am sure he wishes he went for the kill. The rematch will be interesting though, I wonder if Shogun will be able to do all the body and leg damage again. It was crazy seeing Machida bleed his own blood.
jesus that card is now a total shit fest. they already renamed it ufc 106: ortiz vs griffin. yeah, that makes sense, a guy who lost his last two fights vs a guy who is 0-2-1 in his last three fights definitely deserve to headline a ppv. im sure there'll be a lot of interest in this one...
Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen.

Fedor or Rogers?
I say more likely Fedor by submission early, but maybe Rogers can bull-rush and catch him with a looping shot.
Miller-Shields should be good - Mayhem's always fun to watch and I'd pick him.
Mousasi-Sokodjou - Should go to Gegard on technical ability pretty easily, Soko just hasn't lived up to his potential, this should probably be his last stop on main cards if he looks like shit or gets dominated.
wtf, i just looked at the lineup and there's no kimbo. whats the point of having mma on cbs if we cant watch kimbo get his bread? fuck this shit, i'm not wasting any of my time on this garbage.
