In the predictions challenge:
Casey: 6-3
Art: 5-4
Euan: 4-5
Scott: 4-5

Best Fight: Huerta-Garcia
Worst Fight: Sanchez-Koscheck


Well, the important thing is that you can never say that a fighter has no chance. Serra's humbling of GSP made a lot of people, well those who bet on him anyway, some money.

Grove-Belcher: A good way to start the fight card out and a big win for Grove after Belcher did that trash talking.

Swick-Okami: Okami showed me something tonight, props to Art for picking him to win. He's third in a long-line of challengers for Anderson Silva's Middleweight title after Nathan Marquardt and Rich Franklin.

Huerta-Garcia: I have said it before but I love the 155 pound division. This fight was a classic example of why. It was a fast-paced slugfest. Both men really showed their stuff, Huerta got the win but Garcia will be back.

Sanchez-Koscheck: I've got to think that Koscheck is moved up the ranks in the title contender line at 170. I don't know where he stands though as this is the deepest division in the UFC with names like Hughes, Serra, GSP, Fitch, Sanchez, and Parisyan. A boring fight, Koscheck had a good strategy and Diego's wrestling is still not up to par and his striking needs work.


GSP-Serra: A complete stunner, Serra just handled his business and threw a bunch of UFC plans out of wack. So much for Hughes-GSP for the title in Montreal anytime soon. Serra had a great gameplan and executed it perfectly and proved that he can strike with some of the best.

Overall, the show is a thumbs up.
