Good show overall, the title match was the fight of the night. Good on Fitch for sticking it out, I was really impressed with his heart (and especially his chin). I'm guessing they'll push for a St. Pierre/Penn rematch for the end of the year.
Good to see Lesnar get a win, you can tell he disciplined himself so he wouldn't get caught like last time. I'm excited to see how his skills grow as he gets more fights, and as long as his quickness and weight don't fail him he has a bright MMA future.
I was a bit disappointed in the Florian/Huerta match, as i was looking for a wild fight. Had it gone that way, Huerta probably would have won. It made sense for Florian to keep the pace going his way, as Huerta has good punching power that can take over in a brawl. Florian did a great job of preventing Huerta from getting a rhythm going, and generally frustrate him enough to throw off his game plan. I'm hoping Florian gets a title match soon.
