    great fight! i was fixated (word?:D) on that one for the entire time. as much as i dislike koscheck, credit to him for hanging in there. he could have easily been finished in the first and a couple times after. he kept fighting on and alves landed those gorgeous leg kicks! picked him apart with the jabs and the leg kicks. smarter and tighter striking by koscheck, though.

    a masterpiece by thiago! great takedown defense, beautiful striking! pitbull!!!! :)

    I really HATE these new refs. I don't know what kind of doctor this guy is but he's terrible.

    Good win for Alves!

    btw, I'm happy that rogan kept his evan tanner beard.

    me too leafs!!!! It's not Pearl Jam's whipping (my personal choice of entrance music) but definitely a good one.

    umm 10-9 cote i guess since he was the aggressor but anderson definitely landed the better shots... i dunno i guess it could go either way but i'll give it to cote

    missed the 1st minute but wow that was a crazy takedown from silva... cote came flying in and he just moved out of the way and went on top... cote won't quite though, landing elbows from the bottom

    that one goes to anderson 10-9 but still not dominating like i thought it would be

    cote is in the corner appologize and goldberg is so right, he has nothing to be sorry about, the dude stood in there with THE BEST and did not look out of place at all

    WOW! That is so awful for Cote. I'm not sure why they called it a TKO. Explanation?

    ya i thought it should be a ref stoppage or something like that

    edit: probably a no contest

    hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if the method of victory gets amended. really too bad because I think round three would have exciting.

    Congrats on the fantasy victory leafs. I tried my best to take the title but alas you were too impressive.

    easy win for thales... as soon as it went to the ground (like rogan said) it was done.

    i agree completely, cote was in there for a fight, did a lot better than most people were expecting.

    thanks releash you gave it a good go though... great night of fights, easily the card of the month lol

    that was nice. :)

    man, i feel so bad for patrick. he was moving forward for almost the entire time, but he wasn't throwing a lot. he managed to get through some big strikes from anderson. anderson looked like he was just toying in the first and then fought a bit strange in two also. could have been an exciting third coming up. not sure why the crowd was booing patrick?

    great night of fights overall! too bad about the ending to the main event. i feel bad for patrick, but he certainly did a lot better than most people thought he would do.

    gray! pitbull! hermes! (although i'll have to watch the fight for the "unsportsmanlike conduct". :D) sounds like matt horwich and dan miller had a good bout as well...i'm hoping matt put on a good showing despite the loss. i'd like to see him back and maybe on a main card sometime.
