There were almost no bad fights on the card (we have Jay Hieron and JT Money to thank for that qualifying "almost," and be glad the fight wasn't aired. It was a terrible snoozefest, and normally I enjoy the grappling. There were only a few moments in round two where that fight was even the least bit interesting. There were some great undercard performances courtesy of Alex Trevino, James Terry and Scott Lighty. Personally, I thought Trevino had the best submission of the night. Terry had the best knock out, which was absolutely wicked. Fight of the Night was definitely the Cyborg vs. Carano fight. That was probably one of the greatest single rounds I've ever seen. As for who's going to beat Cyborg: nobody's going to beat her for a while. She's an absolute monster. I can say that it was an awesome event.

It was a pretty quick show, that's for sure. No prelims and no televised Taylor vs. Hieron. It was a pretty quick show, that’s for sure.

Cuz I heard they didn't and that would mean less then 5 rounds of fighting in 2 hours...Musta been slow paced! Dana is probably happy. Did they show any prelims?

No idea why they mentioned Tara since she's in another weight class...mostly fought 135 and now at 125. As for Gina, I think Cindy Dandois would be interesting, or maybe they'll finally let her fight Shayna. Even Shayna put up a better fight against Cyborg than Gina did.

I can't help my love for cute Italian ladies. Well I want Gina to win, but I think Cyborg is going to knock her out. I can’t help my love for cute Italian ladies.
