| man there was some good finishes and i was glad to see Rashad use his wrestling again. What if that fight was 5 rounds though? Thiago was starting to turn the momentum around in round 3. Cant believe Haze got ko'd, Daley is a real threat now. Sam Stout beating J-lo is a decent sized upset, he looked great. And watch out for Dos Santos....wow. Oh and bis props to Jim Miller, looked great. | |

| changes to make in 2010
non title 5 round main events improved scoring system for judges and fighters should be able to wear shoes like the old days. We'd see more ko's and fighters would have better traction on the slippery canvas. | |

| So the general consensus is the card wasn't as bad as everyone thought it would be. | |

| I honestly don't think if it went 5 it would have changed anything. Silva was too gassed, realistically he should have finished Evans in the 3rd but his tank was empty. He may have goten a quick wind for the 4th but he would have fizzled out just as quick again, he was just too tired. | |

Or he comes out and lands another big shot, but this time Rashad doesn't recover. Ultimately we'll never know because they aren't 5 rounders. | |

No the negative outlook was due to the lack of big time talent, we can see exciting fights between lower level guys for free on WEC, we all know you don't have to be a big name to be in a good fight, but should we have to pay the same amount for much less talented fighters(who also happen to make alot less). But my friends did buy it, so I did chip in. | |

| I don't mind watching less talented fighters in exciting fights.
It's not like this card was supposed to be this way, all the injuries hurt this card but I found the card to be worth watching as opposed to others saying how bad it was and it would be the worst ever. Next time should the card be cancelled when the injury bug hits? Then we'd all be complaining about that. | |

| The card wasn't that talent drained compared to others anyway. The card was underrated immensely. Good main event, good HW fight. Good WW tilt. Good LW battles. This was a fairly average UFC card in all honesty. | |
