I just got done watching UFC 74 (Which was really good IMO. One of the best in a long time) but good thing 75 is free on SpikeTV (In the states). The only things i really want to see is Cro Cop making up for getting beat by Gonzaga (lucky shot, Gonzaga IMO is not that good) and i would also like to see Bisping and Hamil finally get a fight (though i will be rooting for both).

The unification match should be intresting, but i actually didn't really like Henderson or Rampage in Pride so i could really care less about that one.

I actually sat down for the full show this time. Most of it, anyway. Rampage has grown on me quite a bit. I used to hate him for taking out Liddell too quickly (I know, silly reason to hate) but I'm really like his style lately. Glad he won the unification, too. Never seen much of the other guy even though he was a champion.

Anyway, I'm not really sure how to rate these PPV's as this is the first one I've really seen and don't have much to compare it to. I guess I'll say 8/10?

the only comment i can muster right now besides good show is this.

Matt Hammil got screwed.

i shall elaborate when i have the time.

I missed most of that Hammil vs Bisping match, but my dad caught it and could not believe how awful of a decision it was. Sounded like the crowd disagreed as well and the way they never mentioned any contraversy is another reason I think UFC announcers are bad.

Overall not a great fight night, though the main event was good.

- Houston Alexander is the fucking man right now, I really hope he keeps this up.

- Davis-Taylor although short was a sweet fight. Good stuff.

- Kongo-Cro Cop was depressing to watch, looked alot like the Kanehara fight only with Cro Cop losing pretty badly. But still Kongo got taken down by Mirko Cro Cop of all people so I doubt Kongo would stand much of a chance against Rodrigo Nogueira.

- Although alot of people think Bisping-Hamil was a screwey decision I thought it was perfectly fine, I mean Hamil clearly won the first round but I think the other two could have gone either way but maybe its because I'm british but I was still leaning towards "the Count" in those two last rounds, I mean he was on his back but even when he was he was still doing more than Hamil.

- Rampage-Hendo was the fight of the night from what I saw and maybe the fight of the year, epic, epic stuff.
