    It looks like The Dragon will get the Bones-Hendo winner.

    Machida was well...Machida. I, like everyone here, is impressed with his performance. It was funny for a bit when Varner forgot his mouthpiece after he was punced by Lauzon. That's how intense that fight was. I take my hat off also to Vera. Although not enough, he brought the fight tonight.

    These matchups were better than the previous UFC maincard fights. We all got a show!

    I was wondering if Vera finally found "it" or if Shogun just wasn't in the best shape, making it an even fight.

    Great back and forth, reminded me of Bonnar-Griffin

    Just paid attention to the names and oh my god:

    Ryan "Darth/Master" Bader

    This is the best two-punch alias ever.

    Machida's KO was like it came from a Bruce Lee or Sonny Chiba movie without the extreme graphic violent stuff :grin:
