Are you kidding? Most who are educated about the fight game had Hughes destroying Gracie.
I'm super glad Swick won. I had doubts he could contend with Riggs' power, but I guess that wasn't a problem, eh? He's quite a character outside the ring as well. Riggs is going to have to figure out why he isn't quite getting to the next level. He has all the tools to do so. Maybe he needs a new camp to train with.
The Diego \ Alessio fight was interesting. I think Diego showed he sucked, Alessio showed he had amazing takedown defense, the judges showed that they don't know what Octogon control means, and that the refs that aren't Herb Dean and Big John blow goat nuts. I mean, if they had either good ref in there, that 3 minutes of Diego on Alessio's back doing nothing would have been broken up. Just because you are upright doesn't mean you are exempt from being broken up for inactivity.
