My predictions were 0/3 so it was a good show. Better than expected. 

Chuck Liddell loses to Keith Jardine

Chuck did pull a Crop Cop. Crazy. For once he will  have to learn a new move other than the counter attack knockout punch. When-ever he was waiting to do it during the fight Keith waved him in. Keith was avoiding Chuck’s one move and made Chuck look a little wimpy at the same time. Nice.

For sure Keith is not the better fighter, but he trained specifically to beat Chuck and he did. It seems everyone who trains with Couture is way better.

Mauricio Rua loses to Forrest Griffin

This confused me the most since Forrest actually had some skills. (Couture training again.) Another pride fighter Rua has to adjust quickly to the UFC or vanish. Poor pride guys.

Jon Fitch defeats Diego Sanchez

A close decision, but I thought Jon Fitch did deserve it. Fitch looks like a typical UFC fighter while Diego is more jittery or explosive. Diego is more entertaining, but Fitch wins fights.

Overall the fight card still wasn’t great. Chuck not getting the expected first round knock-out was a huge let down for everyone (but Keith). At least Chuck looked devastated sitting down after the fight. That’s how he should have been after the Rampage fight. Only now is it really starting to sink in he needs to improve.
