Diego Sanchez, like Mirko, Liddell, Wanderlei, Herring, and a few others, should get sent down and he should fight guys that do not have high ranking. I mean, look at this way, each of those fighters that I just mentioned have lost two fights in a row against people that they ought to have been able to defeat.
Koscheck and Fitch should have been wins for Sanchez; a guy that KO'd Joe Riggs, beat Karo Parisyan, and had beaten Nick Diaz. Liddell should have been able to beat Jardine and (IMO) Rampage. Mirko should have beaten Napao and Kongo. Wanderlei, at least, can say that he lost to two highly ranked opponents in Mirko and Henderson. Herring? Well, he has a 0-3 record versus Big Nog now. So, I think that he will never beat Nog.
2007 has not been a good year for some of the most popular fighters. They all need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what went wrong.

IMO, it takes a lot of skill to finish an opponent. If a fighter KO'd or submitted an opponent in a few seconds or a few minutes of the first round, then that says a lot to me. I think that if a fight goes the distance, then all it really demonstrated was that the two fighters have good cardio and were fairly evenly matched. I don't agree that if a fighter gets a fast win, then he has not shown his skills. I think that he has shown his skills.
People do not like to hear this, but Matt Serra showed that he can bang and win against people like GSP. He beat GSP in the first round. Serra has skills. He deserved that win. The same goes for Sanchez against Riggs. We did not see three rounds of boxing, but Sanchez clearly showed that he can KO people when he has the right mind set for it.

-Shogun gassing and performing that way was shocking.
Props to Forrest though.
-Looked like Chuck didn't have all the confidence back. At least after he got dropped. He should have thrown caution to the wind in the 3rd round, but he didn't.
I was wrong about those 2 fights. Especially the Shogun-fight.
I hope he comes back as the same badass he used to be.
-Fitch-Diego went pretty much as I expected. I didn't think either would be able to finish the other and Fitch is more athletic, so he got the win.
-Same with Machida. Him getting a decision-win was really predictable.
-I also had a hunch that Johnson isn't all that. You can't judge him by one quick KO. Clementi is no superstar, he's a lot smaller too, but he has the experience and exposed Johnson. AJ better not go home now and cry to his mama how he got whoopped by a small white guy.

His game plans are sound, he hits as hard as any, and has an outstanding ground game. He is a natural 205 pounder who probably does not need to worry much about losing or gaining weight before a fight.
Who else can you say all of the above about?

I have moods. Sometimes I can get sensitive, too sensitive. All I can do is apologize.
I just think that an event that used the name "Knockouts" should hav had a few KO wins, LOL. Like Flying Triangle Choke said, when somebody that did not know better goes to buy or rent the DvD fo UFC-76, they will have a huge dissapointment coming when they think that there will be a bunch of great KO wins. I wish thet the UFC would just drop the whole title thing for events.

Yeah, the subtitles to the events have to go. I could maybe see using the main event as a subtitle for big events(like for example: UFC 71: Liddell vs. Jackson), but soon they'll run out of "creative" subtitles like "Victory" and "Respect" won't they?

If I see anything like UFC-85: MMA-mania, then I will hunt down Dana White and kick his ass (I hope that SitNSpin really is not Dana White, LOL). I agree, I prefer the main event to be the name of the event. If the event has like three or four title defenses, then I would not mind something like Night of Champions or whatever. They just need to avoid names that seem to try to predict the events fight outcomes, LOL.

He was pretty close to losing a fight against one BJ Penn, but yeah, he's tough.
I don't know about #1 though.
I don't know anything about the LHW rankings right now... they've really gone crazy with the upsets.
And if he would "hit as hard as any" I'm sure he would have more stoppages.
