Two Great Main Events

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Griffin vs. Ortiz showed signs of the classic Griffin v. Bonner slugfest. I didn't give Griffin a chance going into this fight but was proved wrong. I still think Ortiz would've done much better at 100% but Griffin proved he can hang. Great fight.

Sylvia vs. Arlovski II - I think these two will always be good for an exciting fight against each other.

Sean Sherk vs. Nick Diaz & Monson vs. Cruz were both busts. Sherk & Diaz seemed to have each other scouted too well and it surprisingly didn't live up to expectations.

Parisyan v. Thompson - Parisyan elbow = lots of blood. A lot of blood very quick from a single shot.

Memorable Moment - Ortiz v. Griffin slugfest.

8 of 10 (Ortiz v. Griffin, Sylvia v. Arlovski need I say more?)
