UFC 95 was a great show. Almost no fights went to the judges and quite a few ended in the first round. This would have been worth the pay-per-view cost.

Joe Stevenson loses to Diego Sanchez

Joe looked out-classed as a fighter, and laughed and touched gloves way to often during the fight. Diego, even though I am not a Deigo fan, was super intense,  skilled striker, and totally earned the decision win. So at least for me Joe gets bumped down a fan notch, and Diego gains a fan notch.

Josh Koscheck loses to Paulo Thiago

A lucky punch and possibly a tiny bit early ref stoppage cost Josh the fight, but it is still a hard loss to have. The road back to a title shot gets alot longer when guys can beat you with a lucky shot. (Ask Chuck Lidell.)

Once again a great show. My picks were 0/2 which makes it even more entertaining.  Terry Etim looked good as a may-not-be-broadcast fight we got to see. Watching Stefan ‘Skyscraper’ Struve crumple was another great fight we usually would not see on tv without all the quick fights.
