Thanks moonpie, just watched some it now. It was a pretty decent event, filled with quick knockouts. I really enjoyed the Couture Nogueira fight, those are two guys that are classy mma legends. Don't want to be too spoilerific, but did anybody else check it out?

Like always, I watched the event.

You are right, there were a ton of quick KO's.

The Couture - Nog fight was very good. It was too bad that it wasn't a 5 rounder. Nog looked so much better than the Mir fight where he was picked apart on his feet.
