Matt Who's. BJ did not even have time to work up a Sweat. About 20 seconds it was Over. I thought Machida would have beat Rampage? Guess not. And that Georga S guy is someone to be delt with.

Yeah the BJ 20 sec KO was the surprise of the nite. Hughes just got caught it happens....
Rampage vs Machida split decision could have gone either way Machida did almost nothing for rounds 1 and 2. REMATCH.
Phil Mr wondeful is going to be a force at LHW he needs to get a few more bouts under his belt.
Lauzon gassed in the 2nd otherwise that could have been a good bout he punished Sotiropoulos in the 1st rnd.
Not a bad card...

I actually thought the first punch that landed on Hughes dome was the good enough, it rocked him in the first seconds, we just had to wait another 10-20, for the fallout. I think that Rampage was given a gift. Actually a pretty good night of MMA.

Watched UFC 123 again and watched the Rampage vs Machida fight again to see if I would score it differently the 2nd time around. Rnds 1 and 2 go to Rampage he out pointed Machida in both rnds and was the agressor and had the take down in rnd 2. Thats problem with counter punchers like Machida they sit back and let the other guy chase them and sometimes that costs them the round. Its a 3 round fight you can't give up the first 2 rnds and expect to win unless you KO or submit your opponent.
Anyway lets see what happens with Shogun Rua vs Evans, I dont see Evans beating Shogun so it looks like Shogun vs Rampage II. The last time Rampage got TKO'd but it wasnt even close it was a serious beatdown.
