UFC on FOX 2 wrap up...Graded a "C"

UFC on FOX 2 Poster
-Dunham scoring a nice KO over Nick Lentz! Sweet win to say the least!

-Mike Russow Defeat John Olav Einemo, nobody liked the lay-n-pray approach, but he got the win, we need to see this guy and his chin in some bigger fights, imo!!

-Cub Swanson with a great performance KO'ing George Roop! nice win for Cub!

On to the main card!

-Chris Weidman coming in on 11 days notice, and Demain Maia looking like a beginner in the world of striking, did he digress in the striking?? Chris Weidman pulling out the Decision win, barely. If a ready Demian wouldve showed up, this couldve been a bad night for Chris, but thankfully for Chris, Demian was absent!

-Chael 'WWE' Sonnen defeats Bisping in a gas tank match of all gas tank matches!
personally, Chael should be ashamed of himself, and Bisping, actually did a good job in this fight, some are arguing that Bisping won, but it was very close. i definitely think Chael forgot a few words in his post fight comments......"If ya Smelllll, what Chael is cookin'!!!"
Both fighters were in a tough head to head match, but calling either of them no. 1 contenders, in my book, just isnt true!

-Rashad had every answer for Phil Davis even giving up 4 inches in reach and 3 inches in height, Phil Davis had faced a few tough opponents on his way to Rashad, but Rashad was too big of a step up for Davis. Davis was very lackluster at best! His normal game wasnt present and he just isnt ready for a contender spot yet, he was brought up way too soon! my first thought of this fight when i heard about it was "i just dont buy the Phil Davis thing just yet"..and the fight made that though ring true! Phil had shown up just the way i though he would, out matched! No dissin on Phil, with some good boxing training, striking and timing of opponents, he could be devestating! We will see a better Phil, in the future, because of this fight!

-Rashad is gonna fight Jones for the belt, and Rashad has his work cut out for him, if Rashad doesnt pull off an amazing upset with his boxing, he will meet Jones' feet on his way in to strike! Jones all the way! good luck Rashad! Hopefully we at least see a good round or 2! maybe if Rashad can get Jones on his back and wear him out a bit into the later rounds, maybe, just maybe......but i doubt it!

Overall, UFC on FOX 2 was a decent card, extremely tough battles, not a good card for your typical fan, with tons of finishes, but decent....a grade C card!
