Anybody catch UFC 183 yesterday?
Derek Brunson had a brilliant KO of a crafty veteran in Ed Herman. Gotta keep an eye on him. First fighter in a while to have a KO + SUB within the first minute of a UFC fight. Didn't expect Miesha Tate to be out grapple Sara McMann considering her olympic wrestling pedigree. Al Iaquinta is looking scary nowadays. Takes a real savage to put Joe Lauzon down like that. I was also a fan of how Tyron Woodley was graceful in victory and refused to take 30% of Kelvin Gastelum's purse for missing weight.
As for the main event: something I've anticipated forever being a Nick Diaz fan. Upset that he didn't get his hands off and score more often. I think he realized Anderson Silva is a counter striker and was doing his best to bait him in. Some of the trollish antics he pulled in the first round had me and my friends crying from laughter. The guy literally laid down and took a nap in the cage. Not to mention when he picked his wedgie. Didn't see many significant strikes from either fighter. They're both fan favorites so it was satisfying to see them in the octagon together but I expected more action. Either way, it seemed like something that warrants a rematch but Anderson's only getting older while Nick seems to be losing interest in the sport as a whole.
