Hopefully they can keep this pace up for a couple more rounds. Such an action packed first round.

Well that sucks. Didn't want Wandy to win at all, he keeps annoying me by winning these fights that I just don't want him to win. Not good for Stann.

Yeah I feel bad for Stann, he's a great guy and pretty talented but he simply got beat by his own style. He needs to evolve his game with better wrestling.

If only Cro Cop had a moment like this with a sick knockout, the whole topic of old Pride guys tonight has me thinking about Cro Cop.

Damn Stann making me feel bad for him, but he is one of those guys that its impossible not too like. Exciting fighter and all class. So good to see Wandy get a nasty KO in Japan again though.

Loved the last two fights.

lol Struve looked horrendous, at one point he went for an armbar.....without the arm. Please cut him Dana, or let a top 10 guy tee off on him as targer practice.

Okami wrestlefucked his way to another boring fight, really wish the UFC would stop booking him against exciting strikers.

Saw that shit and damn near pissed myself, he also does a terrible job at defending strikes, which is why he gets caught by hooks. Simply putting your hands beside your face doesn't stop shit. He also doesn't use teat kicks and hardly throws jabs or leg kicks. And Hunt should've stayed out of his guard, he would've stopped the fight alot faster.

Okami killing off the prospects for title shots does the UFC no service what so ever, he shouldn't get contenders, but older names that are not in contention like a Wandy or Vitor.

And Speaking of Wandy, boy did he save this entire card. And I sure didn't expect him to win, I'm over the moon about it. But Stann fucked up by trying to brawl, he didn't do that against Leben, he fought smart in that one, but this one he left technique out of the equation and look what happened. Wanderlai made an entire career out of throwing hooks against a cage or ropes. And what does this mean for Wandy? Does he retire on a win? Or does he keep going? Will he ever get a title shot?

Probably not, but there are fights out there for him, rematches galore with Vitor or Hendo.

Vitor's still a contender, he beats 95% of the current MWs. But yeah Okami who has an incredibly slim chance of ever getting another Title shot should be kept away from knocking off other contenders but at least he's killed off Lombards hype, that guy is a complete dud in the UFC. There's a huge difference between Bellator and UFC and he fights like a moron. He had to know he was down 2 rounds but was content to lay and pray Okami.

Yeah Okami... zzzzzzzz man that was boring. Lombard started to look alive in the 3rd until he decided to try to take the fight to the ground and stay there. That was just too dumb. I'm very very tired of Okami. Just really... BORING.

Got this downloaded so gonna watch it in a bit and will post thoughts. But yeah Struve is fucking horrible for a big guy, he's the Gustafsson of the HW Division.
