Well it looks like the young guys are taking over the UFC now. Penn was clearly outmatched in his fight. He's clearly too small for WW and needs to go back down to LW if he wants to continue his career, which he probably shouldn't. I'm surprised he didn't get finished in that one. Was it just me or was MacDonald coming off as a real dbag after that fight. He almost got KO'd at the end trying to be like Anderson Silva.
Shogun looked good against Gustaffson and I don't think it was quite as imbalanced as the scorecards made it look. He was aggressive and landed a lot of good shots. His strategy for the fight wasn't a good one though. All he was doing was trying to land that one good KO punch. I still think Shogun needs to go back to using his strong leg kicks, especially against tall rangy fighters like Gustaffson. His skinny legs wouldn't have held up much against a couple of those kicks.
Was happy to see Henderson dominate Diaz and give him the beating he deserves. Just wish he could have finished him.
