Happy: Randy of course!

Disappointed: Shogun, Crocop, and Chuck. Although I think it was not a lesser Chuck but Jardine with a good game plan and a good night.

I have been very disapointed with Cro Cop following his transition from PRIDE to the UFC. Expected him to do very well, and possibly have had a title shot by now - But Gabriel and Cheick had other plans

The Gonzaga knockout wasn't just a one-off kick that won him the fight, he had dominated Cro Cop for all of the fight and cut him with some nasty elbows from top position, which Mirko didn't seem to have an answer for. Then they get stood up and I'm preparing for the returning onslaught from Cro Cop - Just for him to get knocked out with an awsome high kick.

The fight against Kongo was not great for him either, looked decent in the first round, was definately the aggresor. But round 2 and 3 looked terrible. Granted he had to fight on with a broken rib, and taking 2 or 3 shots to the nuts will slow any man down - But he just didn't seem like the same fighter I used to watch in PRIDE.

On the other hand, I have been impressed with Forrest Griffin though. Coming back after a devasating loss to Jardine, he did well to pick up the win over Hector Ramirez. In that fight he showed a more disciplined side to his game, he was more methodical and picked his shots better, than the slightly more wreckless stand-up game he had sometimes shown in the past. I think also his win over Shogun, who most people think the be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, was very impressive. He set a high pace all through the fight and Shogun was almost totally gassed out in the second and third rounds. He's put himself right into contention for a title, or atleast a number one contender spot.

^ How can you be disapointed in somone that won his first match in the ufc.
He was even knocked down from a left kick and came back. I was amazed and happy about Noguera.

Happy:Noguera/Randy/Machida

Diss:Shogun/Crocop

i could see someone being a little dissapointed in Big Nog ... he hasnt looked AMAZING yet in the UFC, just not living up to some peoples expectations of him.

(i am not one of those people) so dont hate.

I agree buddy, I see Fitch's next fight definately being a Main Event or Co-Main Event, etc

I am disappointed in CC the most for sure with Shogun being a close second.

I was happy that Big Nog pulled out the win in his debut and still am happy that Pride fighters hold the LHW and MW belts.

Happy: Rampage and Randy just dominating

Disappointed: Tito and Rashad. Rashad IMO that he's still in THe UFC, Tito in that he didnt more definitively shut Rashad up.

Now we have to be tortured with another TIto rematch and with his new contract?

God Knows how many more Tito vs TBA I II III's we'll have!

Happy: St. Pierre- He looked good against Kos. I think he will come on very strong after being embarrassed by Serra.
Thiago Tavares- He looked good against Tyson Griffin and I think he should have won that fight. He proved he can hang in there with a tough dude.

Dissapointed: CroCop- Obviously
Shogun- I think he will bounce back and dominate the division, but for the time being he is on my ****list.
