Havent got much time to write a lot now, but a few things that stood out:
Gleison Tibau was WAY to big and strong for Caol Uno _ I felt sorry for the guy - I didnt know the size difference was so big - he got demolished.
Okamis stand-up looked fantastic - he's seriously been working that aspect of his game - very impressed
As much as I wanted Nelson to lose, he did very well. Struves chin is officially proven as very weak.....whats that phrase? 'The bigger they are the harder they fall'
Can anyone say 'timbeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr !!!!'
Let Nelson fight Dos Santos or Cain 
K-Flo was solid - trumped Gomi in pretty much every aspect - a bit disappointing really as I would love to have seen Gomi enter the mix and mount a title challenge....Unlikely he had Octagon jitters given his experience, but maybe lack of cage experience was a factor...Kenny was just better on the night
Ross Pearson looked amazing again. So solid - he's improved so much since TUF - as a UK fan Im really happy he got revenge on Siver for the Paul Kelly fight 
Andre Winner - looked really great in the first round - lightning quick hands - and managed to keep up enough pressure through the fight to win an easy decision, but damn, he had no answer for those leg kicks - he'll be working on that no doubt
Gerald Harris - hell of a KO. I bet on Miranda, and was thinking this is going well, then wack 
Brenneman - good all round performance. Nothing outstanding, but didnt show many holes in his game
Lentz was great against Emerson. I dont really rate Emerson too highly, but Lentz imposed his gameplan well, and survived a few iffy moments after getting stunned by Emersons punches. A good win for the carny.
Christmas - Damn, after seeing him lose in the last few fights I picked against him - he proved me wrong to do so with a very strong showing, never allowing Torres to get settled.
Nate Quarry. Like many I suspect I though that Quarrys chin would get him through some scares and allow him to eventually wear Jorge down. Wrong! Jorge looked really strong and Quarry looked scared from th emoment the first right hand connected. Dominant performance from Riveira
