UFC 128 thoughts/rate it

Thanks, glad it was readable, enjoyed your post event write up as always sir.

Miller def needs to get in there for a shot, but Pettis could get one for beating Guida, give one a shot against Gil or something.

Was thinking about Gil too. He is the only SF LW worthy of UFC title contention. Does he move or does someone face him in SF if he beats Crusher?

Back on CroCop...what i definetly would not mind seeing is if Coker signed him to a Strikeforce contract/a fight and set up CroCop vs. AA.

Thats always been a dream fight of mine and they are both kind of in the same boat right now...I pick Arlovski because he atleast has his skills at prime level until he gets hit...but i think thats a matchup that CroCop will atleast come out agressive with, and just style wise an entertaining fight.

Cro Cop has been fighting guys that weigh much more than he does. They have been out wrestling him because of his size. Maybe Big Nog vs Cro Cop 1 last time?

I don't know now if Shogun being 100% would have earned him a victory after seeing what we did. But it is very clear that Shogun not being 100% is somewhat responsible for just how badly Shogun looked. From the opening bell it looked like he was out of shape and hoping for a miracle. Jones deserves his credit here, however. Regardless of Shoguns condition going into the fight Jones poured on the pressure from all angles and at all times. He put on a relentless pace and never slowed down or looked back. It is a shame that the belt was fought for under the circumstances because I really would have liked to see the best performance possible out of Shogun in his first title defense. Overall I gave the card a 7. Barbosa overall was disappointing except for the first round and that spinning heel kick. Marquardt did about as well as you can expect with Miller trying to hang all over him. Jim Miller is an animal. and Almeida got screwed.

I think this will have a solid buy rate. 900,000 give or take.
