Well there was a shock, Ronda wins by armbar in the first round, I wonder where she goes from here now? Who else do the UFC have that they can put in with her, and market them in a successful way?

I'm actually quite surprised by how much I like women in MMA, they really do give it their all. A little distracted by Ronda's top - a little style over substance there, waiting for an armbar not a nipslip, Dana!

It was far more exciting than the other co-main event featuring the Dan Henderson fight, that one was best descriped as a chess match, to be kind.

I think that the biggest problem will be finding opponents of a high enough standard to face Ronda.

Dana said yesterday how they're already bringing in 15 new fighters and are going to start putting them out there. In the mean time, Tate is taking on Zingano at the TUF finale, quite likely the winner of that will be Ronda's next opponent. People would eat up Ronda/Tate II, could easily do great business.

Not so sure about that, could easily lean either way. Dana said while announcing this that people need to go out there and put on entertaining fights, he's made that clear time and time again. Be a 'boring' fighter and you're at arguably a bigger risk of being cut to be perfectly frank. All it takes is a couple of losses. Whereas we've seen that if you go out there and put on a show and entertain, you can actually afford to lose quite a few and still be kept around (Hardy went through a four loss streak, while Fitch basically lost two fights, not even back to back, and was cut). The positive is that even with cuts, Dana made it clear they can work their way back, so it's not really a bad thing.

Anyway, pretty good event. Bermudez/Grice was a war, go check that one out for anybody that hasn't seen it yet. Koscheck stoppage seemed way too early, but after the amount of cheap con jobs he's pulled in the past, I'm not complaining. Main Event was great, Carmouche looked really good and put Ronda in danger, before Ronda eventually added yet another arm to her collection. About as good as it could of gone there.

I'm enjoying Bellator, miss Strikeforce. Won't do MMA much good if all there is is the UFC. Probably a lot of female MMA fighters out there, so even though they are not known to us there will be no shortage of fights, better than Hendo and Machida dancing around for 15 minutes.

Ronda 'One trick pony' wins again sorry but eventhough i'm a big fan of MMA & UFC i just cannot see the appeal of women in the UFC and Ronda. Sorry but thats my opinion.

The Silva fight was awesome. I saw a video of a sparring session and the guy hit him and he just went beserk - this guy is scary. Strube was an odd fight, another great ending though. Enjoying Bellator more of late but nice to see the UFC can still put on some decent fights.

The women steal the show again, no surprise there. Great from Tate/Zingano. As I've said, Tate/Rousey would of likely made for a better season of TUF, due to their history and the fact that they'd get right under each others skin. That said, Zingano IMO makes for a better challenge against Rousey and will be a great coach too, coupled with that she's also undefeated and you can sell the fight on that (Though while this fight will still draw up great interest and views, Tate/Rousey would of likely topped it in those terms). Zingano is awesome.

Brilliant from Kelvin too. Underdog all season and just kept coming in and getting the job done.

Great fights, disappointed with Mir but Cormier couldn't finish him - styles make fights as they say, no quick knockout. Shame about Nate, just knew that head kick would come back to get him, guess you can't expect the other fighter to fight the way you want them to, smart move.

I can't stand the Diaz brothers, they think they are sooo, good, when they are not, so I am glad that this brother got put in his rightful place, cowing on the mat.

I hope that is the last we see of either of them, they have never impressed me.

The Frank Mir vs. Daniel Cormier fight was awful,,,,, one of the most boring fights in UFC history. I think Cormier just wanted to cuddle Mir cus that's all he did all fight

Yeah, it wasn't pleasant viewing, I was expecting slightly more from Cormier, but Mir is waaaayyy over the hill, so was always likely to be a defensive opponent.

Had Henderson just winning that fight. Quite a few had Melendez with three rounds to two. Think the judges got it spot on, but yeah, bloody close one that and I'd quite like a rematch now they've both felt each other out to see if Melendez would come and try anything differently. Strong showing from both.

Sonnen/Jones next weekend. Pretty pumped for this one.

You've pretty much summed up the problem with both Diaz brothers. They kind of need their opponents to fight their type of fight or they seriously struggle. And who is going to just stand in front of one of the Diaz brothers and brawl it out!?

Me too... even though it could be one of the most one-sided fights the UFC have put on since Couture v Toney.

Jones in two for me, Sonnen is all mouth and no action.

Sorry do i know you? No................... then i'm not your PAL. Women in the UFC don't belong... end of story.
The sooner Rousey gets knocked off her pearch the sooner Dana White come's to his senses and kicks the females divison into touch.
Yes i'm a hater but only of womens UFC. So what your gonna do!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Diaz brothers, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Sonnen to win by points.

I thought I was gonna hate Sonnen. He has done my head in , in the past. However watching him on the Ultimate Fighter, I actually come to like him, although I think Jones will win, either late on in round 4 or 5 or by points

I said Sonnen was all mouth and no bite, and so it proved.
He is garbage really, he only got these last two titles fights because he ran his mouth.

Fights should be based on talent in the octogan, not on the mic.

Hopefully that is the last we will see of him in there now, let him stick to doing what he is best at, mocking people with his pizza business.

LOL..... I change my mind, Jones will win in the first round

Nasty broken toe for Jones though

I'm a big fan of the UFC, but there is not enough money in the world for you to pay me to watch the 'fairer' sex fighting.
Repulsive on every level.

Sonnen always gives his all though, yes he gets the fights he gets because of his trash talk but then Dana knows that he can sell a fight so thats why he keeps getting them. Against Jones though that was the first time I saw Sonnen with no heart and his never give up attitude, he went into the fight knowing he was going to lose.
