^  Hah!  Glad to win the bet.  I realized it was kinda impulsive after reading eaLity's post.  Lol.  

Is it just me or does anybody else feel kinda sad for Jacare?  I mean it's easy to forget that those guys fighting in the cage have families and a life out of it too.  Watch the post fight press conference and go skip to Jacare's part.    He seems reeeaallyy devastated.

Well he was supposed to have a title shot if he won. There goes his chance.
But Hermansson was clearly the better fighter, winning at least 3 rounds and almost finishing Jacare in the first. It was a good fight, Hermansson showed a lot of stamina, never really looking tired. He's not a great technician but he's a decent fighter who seemed very well prepared for this fight.
Hardy ? Well, the guy has to realize he beat a very average fighter, it's not like he's the world champion now. He only did what he had to do but didn't prove anything.
I liked the Perry fight, he showed some heart and pure force against Olivera, a good striker.
The one I feel sad for is Arlovski. His fight was so boring.

The one I feel sad for is Arlovski. His fight was so boring.

He is 40 already, I guess it is time to retire. He has lost 8 times in his last 10 matches. Strange that he is still in UFC and Dana White doesnt kick him out.
