UFC 98 was a small two-fight show, but overall was still ok.

Rashad Evans knocked out by Lyoto Machida

An intense two rounds with the fighters jumping around and staring at each other. Rashad ‘counterstriker’ versus Lyoto ‘elusive’ was a very boring first round. The second round was pretty quiet too until Lyoto started some quick attacks with no ‘counter-strikes’ from Rashad. Lyoto’s knockout combo sequence was awesome.

Matt Hughes beats Matt Serra

The pre-fight was over-hyped, but the actual fight was a grind. Matt Hughes used his old wrestler skills to lay on Serra and score enough points to get a win.  A great way for a wrestler to win UFC fights, but not entertaining to watch.

Overall the show was ok with the great main event knockout finish by Lyoto. This is what everyone wanted to see Anderson Silva do on the last show.
