Coleman looked awful tonight. But he set it up to face Tito after loses to Chuck.

I hope he literally MURDERS Tito, what a d-bag move tonight.

Only Tito was try and insult someone after a hard fought loss, at least Mark didnt get on the mic and make excuses like he had a cracked skull haha

Couture looked sharp, while Coleman looked old.
Chael Sonnen is a beast!
Phil Davis, if he gets some variation in his game, will be a top notch guy. He is so strong, and has great wrestling and base.

Matt Serra beating Trigg was sweet as well, and Paulo Thiago finished Swick with a badass D'arce choke.

I was impressed with Davis. Once he improves, he's gonna be a force to reckon with.

Surprised Sonnen dominated the way he did. He has an excellent wrestling game as well. He may get the Silva/Belfort winner.

I felt horrible for Coleman. The guy works his ass off, gets a new training camp and goes the whole nine yards to do everything right, then comes in and has difficulty doing anything and is defeated quickly and decisively. Then he has to give a post-fight interview, knowing this could very well be his last ever fight and that he just lost in front of his family (especially his two daughters, even if they weren't actually there). Then Tito, from out of nowhere, begins insulting Coleman, yelling as loudly as he can as he's trying to give an interview after being choked unconscious just minutes earlier and losing what is probably the last fight of his life. There he is, Tito Ortiz, calling out the loser of a fight. A loser who is a UFC legend and Hall of Famer. A loser who just lost the most important fight of his life. A loser who is clearly past his prime and was doing the best he could but clearly fell short. By this point, I'm just without words. That was possibly the lowest blow I've ever seen in MMA, even compared to Brock's antics after defeating Mir and Aoki's antics after breaking Hirota's arm in Dream. Despicable. Tito's demise can't come quickly enough.

Ortiz is a *****

Wonderful! Now Silva has nobody to fight him. Too bad Henderson stepped away, eh?

Sonnen would be nice, but he's medically suspended until March.

I bet its Akiyama

But there is something very interesting that happened today.

Gegard Mousasi left M-1 Global. He is still under contract with Strikeforce, but he is no longer under the hand of Vlad and the Russian mob.

After he finishes his SF contract, I bet its UFC or bust.

How insanely awesome is that??

It almost makes up for Vitor's injury, which ruins everything. I was more excited for teh Silva/Belfort fight than the rest of the main events this year put together.
