My own take on the main event, can be read Here
As far as the rest of the show, the entirity was thumbs in the middle. Arlovski's fight was terrible and Kongo's wasn't any better. Bisping is a superstar and I'm glad we didn't have to see Machida after all.

No Limits MMA had an event on Saturday which I couldn't watch because of DRM but results are here
