I dont know about awesome but it was ok. The main events were very anti climatic. Cro Cop really let me down as did Ace.

I thought it was good, yeah the Franklin vs. Vitor fight wasn't as good as anticipated, but at least it added a new contender to the MW division.

Neither were many of the fights.

Cro Cop sucked and that fight wasn't entertaining just a lot of pushing.

I wouldn't call very little action then Rich getting KO'd entertaining.

Only one that had lots of action was Kampmann Dailey.

It just definitely was NOT PPV worthy. They need to do better than that.

Cigano dominated for 2.5 rounds. He pushed the pace and landed some big shots to the head and body and finally a knee and punch to the eye and Cro Cop showed his lack of heart and folded like a coward.

I was rooting for Rich heavily, but Vitor looked awesome and established himself as a contender for Anderson.

What fights didn't have action?

Sure it wasn't packed with huge names, but how could you not enjoy like 9 fights with finishes?

It was a very good card except for the co-main event. Cro Cop is horrible now, I don't understand what happened to him but he sucks balls.

I was at a wedding and couldn't watch the fights live, but I thought it was a pretty sweet card and would have been worth it imo, atleast to split it.

Cro-Cop didn't look great, but DosSantos is beastly. and I don't think Cro-Cop quit because of "pushing" - Dos Santos was beating him up badly, especially in round 3 when he started incorporating knees and MT clinch work.

I was psyched to see Tyson Griffin get a qualtiy finish - I haven't seen a boring Griffin fight yet, even though he has been in decisions his last 6 fights or so.

Frank Trigg Koscheck wasn't competitive, but I like first round KOs (also this is pretty much what I expected)

I would have liked a back and forth battle with Rich and Vitor, but like I said, I enjoy quick KOs too and this should help hype an Anderson-Vitor matchup.

Kampman Daley was fun to watch as well - Kampmann's ego and underestimation of Daley's striking certainly helped Daley out.

The undercard had some great fights with a lot of action and some great finishes as well, but no one had to pay for those, so I suppose that point is moot. How about that arm-triange finished from the guard though!

I didn't think there was a boring fight on the card, but perhaps I am easily entertained.

I came in with low expectations and they were blown away. Good card. Not worth the PPV before the fights, but well worth it afterwards. Why? Because I'm not fickle.

I honestly don't think Crocop is that much worse than he was before. I think the competition is constantly getting better, and people know how to deal with him, which is to keep the pressure on him, which will demoralise him and expect the lhk.

I think Cro Cop has lost all confidence, he said as much after the fight and that is exactly what it looked like in person. He doesn't have the drive the young fighters do, he can't compete with hungrier fighters.

Agreed Mirko isn't invincible anymore now that the blueprint is out there.

I was fortunate in that the place I went too showed both PPVs. Here is what I learned. BOXING SUCKS NOW! A horrible fight with a bigmouth winning. At least when a bigmouth in MMA fights they either kick ass or get their ass kicked. That was a snoozer.
