| I thought it was great. Outside of the typical Fitch borefest, it was one exciting fight after another. Finishes galore, high drama in the main event, an excellent undercard fight making it's way to the televised portion.
I'll go 9.5 | |

| Uh, guys? Fitch's fight wasn't as bad as usual. He actually mixed up his strikes for once, he took Thiago's back multiple times and went for about three different submissions. Had it not been for Alves' above average jiu jitsu he probably would have been Fitch's first finish in like 5 years. | |

| Fitch doesn't mean to be that oppressively unwatchable he just is. | |

| Yeah I thought it sucked but I blame it on Thiago more than fitch because Fitch didnt do anything but Thiago did even less. | |

But that's Fitch's game, control, nullify the opponent. Causing damage doesn't even play a role. His last 7 wins have come by decision. | |

| Sonnen choking and letting a sure fire victory slip away was a bummer for me. | |

| 80/100
Some good comebacks and finishes were nice. A little of the anti-action fighting technique tried to take over but never could. Was a nice card on paper and played out okay. Usually the ones that look great on paper have been letdowns. 113 and 116 were way better but this was good. | |
