I'd argue that the last 2 fights may not have been exciting because they were too technical. Jacare seemed perfectly happy just getting Carmont's back and keeping him there. Carmont's sub defense was really good, but it seemed like Jacare wasn't really trying too hard for the finish.

Machida vs Moussasi was like a stand up chess match. They spent most of the fight being cautious and trying not to make any mistakes. Machida was being more aggressive and IMO landed the more significant strikes. He was definitely trying to finish the fight when he threw those head kicks.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Quite a surprising series of events since yesterday. I'm sirprised that he pulled out of the fight instead of trying to get it pushed back. I hope Machida takes care of Weidman, which should be a good fight.

Yes I hope he avenges Anderson :)

Though Machida winning the belt would get in the way of Anderson getting the title back. So if Machida beats Weidman, then Belfort beats Machida, then Anderson can win the title back from Belfort. Yes I know how crazy I sound right now :icon17:

Then it's Machida vs Anderson so Anderson vacates the belt, moves up to light heavyweight and becomes the new light heavyweight champ

At which point Jon Jones moves up to HW to take on Velasquez.

:eek:

Anyone amped up on UFC 202? Conor getting slapped again :)
