Can't say I'm surprised that this PPV was terrible. I knew it was going to suck when I saw the line up. The only reason I watched it was because I can't stand Bisping and Houston tends to deliver quick brutal knock outs (and continued to do so even in defeat).
Where is GSP? Is he waiting for the Ultimate Fighter to drag itself over the finish line so he can beat the crap out which ever Matt proves to be the better?
Evans wins purely because he out worked Bisping. It was even but at the end of the day Evans simply did more. If the fight had gone one more round Bisping wins because Rashad was completely out of gas.
While looking at the fight card something struck me as worth mentioning. What the hell kind of fight name is "The Barn Cat"?

That's Tamdan (also a strange name) McCrory's name listed on the site. First time I've run into a fight gonig by "The Barn Cat"! (all the way at the bottom right of the page.)
I don't think it was one fight... dude had back surgery man and can't even jog anymore. People may not want to hear it but by the looks of Sylvia's activity level tonight... doesn't look like he was lying.
what is wrong with this crowd? I wish I had a crowd noise control so I could mute these freaks. Did Sylvia go around Cinci kicking dogs last night or something?
Did I hear that right? Bisping is in the featured fight for the next UFC?! That losers stock went way down after he took a beating and "won" via the home country judges. Rashad Evans is going to beat his ass like a drum.
Fitch's mean muggin the camera looks goofy as hell. One judge definately gave more weight to submission attempts then dominant position... over all though Fitch was in control most of the fight, good decision.
Why would you rule a NC for weed? If anything that is a disadvantage not a performance enhancer. Ever heard anyone say "if you really want to kick some ass, smoke a blunt first!"? No.
Big win for Rampage. His credibility just went way up because Dan is the real deal.
and I have to say... he's got a great personality after the fight! lol
