. Man, talk about a beat down.

How many times can I be wrong in one night?

So does Jackson get his a shot at the belt ahead of the winner of Machida and Silva?

Mir's standup is very much improved.

Machida's last win was vs tito ortiz in a boring fight in May.
Silva lost and will probably have to redeem himself before a title shot, maybe by fighting Machida.

Possibly Rampage and Rashad next.

Mir looked amazing.

Cant wait for Mir Lesner II! Mir's gameplan was perfect. Rashad is a beast.

Not much on Machida myself, though I believe there was indication that the winner would get a shot. But they both do need a bigger win.

Rampage vs. Rashad will be their next fight.

This should be a good fight. Rashad has been dominating his fights and I'll pull for him in this one.

Mir's standup WAS phenomenal but one thing i've been thinking about since last night...Nog didn't seem to do much.

You're not alone in wondering WTF Nog was or wasn't doing. The guy has good boxing and great ground skills, so where was it at.

Mir may be good/great and he may be the better fighter, but he made Nog look like an outmatched school boy. I'm not saying it was, but watching the fight the thought came to my head that he tanked the fight.

Mir Lesnar II, can't wait.

First thought of the fights...where were the submissions?!? Geez, every fight was a TKO or knockout (and there were some dramatic knockouts!) but I was hoping for just one submission!

UFC 92 was a great card that didn't dissapoint me, at all. I was a little surprised that Rashad won like he did. Just a little. I like him alot but everytime I have counted Forrest out, he won. Nog's age and fights have caught up to him. He had nothing for Mir and Mir did look really good. Can't wait to see the re-match with Lesnar. Same with Wandy. I think all his tough fights have caught up with him. That was a hell of a left from Rampage. Hopefully he will not go on another "rampage". lol
