That was Eastmans best UFC fight that I have seen, I mean seriously that guy sucks. I was expecting a lot more from this Rampage guy that is supposed to be the next title holder.
Mirko looked good, I would like to see him against a better opponent as well in his next fight

I think the fight card was fairly boring to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad to see Crocop and Rampage in the UFC, but I think they should have made their opponents a bit more interesting. I understand the marketing behind it. You don't wanna bring in a highly touted fighter and immediately pit him against a UFC superstar and have him lose. If he does well there goes a lot of interest in watching him fight. Now if he were to win it would be huge, but that's too big of a gamble to take with their first fight.
I agree Silva looked bad. Lutter had several opportunities to submit him and he didn't. I think the fact that Lutter didn't make weight was a big mental factor in his fight.
Crocop looks impressive to me, I like his stalking and those legs are freaking crazy dangerous!
Rampage cracks me up, I agree the fight wasn't that great, but I can understand him being nervous. Give him a few fights like he said and I think we'll be seeing a whole new fighter in there.
I honestly think this UFC was more of a prelude and warmup for things to come. Thanks for the links Kwon! Need more of those after future UFC's!!
