I like the look of Matt Wiman at 11/10 to beat Denis Siver tonight! Siver has had a few good wins as of late but Wiman is a bigger guy, and may be able to pin him up against the cage and negate Siver's kickboxing.

Good show all in all last night!
I've liked Condit for years, even more so after he knocked out Dan Hardy, so I was pleased to see him perform so well. Hopefully he's next in line for a title shot after Diaz, however I've a feeling Dana may go with the winner of Fitch v Penn 2.
The Wyman fight was a tricky one to call. I actually scored the fight 29-28 Wyman but I can understand why the judges did score it in favour of Siver. It's good to see fighters scoring for blocking takedown attempts now, as thats all Wyman ever really did in the first and third rounds.
I can't stand Tito Ortiz, but credit where it's due, you can't help but enjoy his fights! Glad to see him stay in the UFC.
Leben is just nasty....that is all!
The main event was a real cracker, and will almost certainly lead to a rematch. I actually scored the fight 48-47 Cruz, with Cruz stealing the fight in the last round. I really don't know how any judge could score it 50-45, there is no way Cruz won all the rounds! I'd like to see them go at it again, as it's reallly a razor close decision.

Looks like its bye bye Andre Winner after that. Another Brit to get his marching orders after Paul Kelly and Nick Opsziack.
Cant believe Tito, he has looked shot in the past two years, totally dissinterested in the sport and then goes and does that. Maybe the Jon Jones demolition left a lasting mark on Ryan Bader.
never thoguht much of Winner to be honest, hadn't heard abotu the other two being released, i was surprised to actually see kelly(and taylor) fighting on american cards, i thoguht they were the reliable cloggers for the occasion venture over here.

The only thing is, if they release him, they dont have many Brits left to stack the card up at a future UFC event over here.
Bisping is the only one with a little status at the moment. Dan Hardy is headlining a none event soon which is a landslide to where he was against St Pierre. Paul Daley although under the UFC banner with Strikeforce will probably never fight again in the UFC unless Dana goes against his word. Ross Pearson will obviously be somewhere on the main card, he has a little credability after his last win against Spencer Fisher, but that came after Ross been took apart by Cole Miller. I suppose the only one left is Brad Pickett.

Bisping is in a false position also after being spoon fed easy opponents so that the UFC has a poster boy over here! Look at who he's beaten, it's a proverbial list of nobodies (Leben aside).
