I wonder if this is due to how frequent the UFC matches are now....one every weekend or every two weeks. Or if it is how most felt about some of the fighters on the fight card. I am not a Jake Shields nor a Frankie Edgar fan and would never buy a PPV with them headlining. Both are boring technical fighters....never finish....from the words of GSP..." I am not impressed with their performance!"

Well I am glad I went to watch the co-main...which is the only reason I went. Cerrone and Guillard delivered exactly what they said....a thriller for how long it lasted. I thought Cowboy was going to be dropped early but recovered to knock Guillard out before the end of the 1st round.

Then the main event. I actually felt this one was closer than their first. I had it 2-2 going into the 5th. With that I am not unhappy with the judge's decision. I hate Frankie but also felt Bendo was being to cautious and not attacking as much as he could in fear he might get caught as he did in the second. But if you cant finish then you are subjected to the judge's decisions. Frankie never finishes fights and I think he should drop a weight class and try for a shot at getting demolished by Jose Aldo.

Jake Shields....snooooooooooze. Dunno what Ed Herman was trying to do other than not get submitted.
I only really watched the main events. Cerrone vs Guillard was pretty amazing. That was a vicious KO punch by Cerrone, who I thought was gonna get KO'd himself in the beginning.

Henderson vs Edgar was definitely very close, but I gave the slight edge to Edgar. I gave Henderson rounds 1/3 and Edgar 2/4/5. Also had it 2-2 going into the last round and thought Edgar did a little better.

As far as Edgar not finishing fights, it bothers me too, but at least it's not because of a lay n pray style of fighting. His quickness is what makes him so tough to finish. He did have a pretty nice come from behind KO win in his last fight with Maynard though.
