I'm so excited for the SF heavyweight tournament! I think they have a much deeper pool at heavyweight than UFC. Cain and JDS and possibly Nelson (and he won't be fighting for som time due to contractual issues with another organization) are all the ufc really has and it pisses me off every time Dana disregards SF's heavyweight division.

Yeah that destruction of Duffee was crazy. I found it hilarious they were pushing him as the next big thing until the hilarious Russow knockout.

The Edgar/Maynard fight was incredible. People were saying it was going to be super boring because of their fighting styles but it was awesome. I personally had it scored the same way as you except I had round 3 a draw giving edgar the win 48-47. I could see how one could make an argument for that round going to either edgar or maynard though. I just think that edgar did enough to win the round on the feet and that takedown by maynard that he did nothing with wasn't enough to secure the round for him. He looked incredibly sluggish in those rounds but I figured that since edgar won most of the round and. Maynard getting the takedown could make it a 10-10 round.

What I can't understand is how a judge gave round 5 to Maynard. And he came as seriously whiny after the fight and in the post fight press conference. Just like he did when he knocked himself out against Emmerson and he still denies that he was out to this day which is ridiculous.

It was an awesome night of fights though! And the Dynamite show was awesome too. I'm looking forward to this year in fights!
