Just finished watching it. A pretty good event, the Matt Hughes fight was interesting from a technical standpoint, but boring for the fans. I was definately looking for more from him.
I was glad Sylvia got man-handled. He's not a great fighter, just an ackward fighter, and it showed vs the sound Couture. I don't think Couture could handle speed and stamina at his age, so I think for him to win, it was more of the perfect storm scenario going up against a slow guy.
Anyway...way more interesting than any boxing match I've ever watched and with so many matches on a card it's always money well spent (although UFC gives the overseas military these PPV's free of charge--so props to them.) I'll definately continue to follow this growing sport when I return stateside.
Watching the little Danish kid take those heavy punches, get woozy, and then submitting the bigger opponent by sleeper hold was an amazing turn-around. I love this shit!
