Davis looked freakin' monstrous, didn't he? He didn't do squat in that fight, I don't know if he overtrained or what, but that was a very poor showing. And Rashad was way too tentative, he should've attacked harder and earlier. Too much dancing around.
Sonnen was extremely sloppy. Looked to me like he might get KO'd by an uppercut unexpectedly. Bisping came off looking great, but only because Chael was performing poorly and not capitalizing on his TD's and ground positions. Chael nearly blew this fight. That post-fight showmanship was laughable, he almost lost to a whiny pain in the ass. I would've liked to see Chael's interviews post-fight had he lost. AND I'd have loved to see Silva knock Pissping into next week had that fight gotten scheduled. What a shame.

Anyone else think Bisping won that fight? I mean, he won the first two rounds, how in the hell was in scored the way it was?
Agree on Davis, his striking was extremely slow and predictable. He needs some serious work in loosening up and footwork. He'll never be fast, that much is clear, so he needs timing and footwork to effectively use that reach advantage.
He's extremely lucky he didn't score a fluke KO of Evans, because Jones would destroy him. Rashad now has his work cut out for him, because Jones is everything physically that should have been scary about Davis. Except he's also faster, less predictable, hits harder and can wrestle as well.

SuperD, if fights were one on looks, Davis would have dominated. He didn't even look real, I've never seen someone with such crazy proportions. Super wide shoulders and lats, long arms, no fat, all muscle.
But he was so slow and awkward despite looking like a freak athlete.
