I really want to see Lesnar win, and i think the Huerta Florian match could go either way. I don't see that fight ending early.

Lesnar via 2nd round TKO by way of being a beast, seriously.... he cuts to 265
GSP via 1st round TKO. Fitch seems to start out slow, and I think that GSP will just overwhelm him in the first.

GSP via TKO
lol, you're right man. I forgot about it being a 5 round fight when I wrote that.

That was total domination by GSP. He shouldn't of been so cautious cuz he could've finished Fitch several times.

Lesnar was boring as hell. The guy could obviously dominate but holding someone in a wrestling position for most of the fight is lame. Finish the fight already. The ref should've stood it back up several times.

Huerta vs Florian was the most disappointing fight of the night. Huerta really should've set up more punches. Half the time he either just swung for the fences with his right or threw it and pulled it. He threw more rights than lefts which is rarely a good sign. Florian backed up most of the fight but did win it because of doing better on the ground. I thought it was a patheticly passive showing for both of them.

MacDonald vs Maia, imo, was fight of the night. That was everything a ground match should be. MacDonald did pretty well considering Maia is so versed on the ground, but Maia really pulled it out in the end. I'd like to see them fight again.
