What a great card!! Koscheck was a beast. I see many from our Fantasy UFC league forgot to get their votes in yesterday. <_<

Yeah, who was the winner in fantasy for this event?

Good night of fights. I hope Yoshida is OK. That knockout was scary, and he was still on the mat for at least 10 minutes after the fight. Hopefully we'll get an update on his condition today.

How about Mike Swick ... he looked amazing. I think he can be a top 10 welterweight, and I'd love to see him and Kos go at it.

Was it just me or did Swick hit that guy once while he was on his knees and then about three or four times on the top of the head?


Also, I thought it was a great card, but I kind of got sick of the "favored American beats foreigner/guy with foreign sounding name" theme. I missed the Koscheck fight. I had to leave the room for 60 seconds and missed the whole thing....

That's horrible :( ....I remember watching him on TUF thinking, man that guys got the legs the size of a Flamingo...I guess when you are 6 foot 6 and 155 lbs, tree trunk legs are out of the question...I think he needs to look at going up a weight class...or at the very least stop throwing leg kicks... :blink:

Goulet was knocked out by Dwayne Ludwig in a very similar fashion. He doesn't tuck his chin and tends to come forward...not a good combination to have when you fight a guy like Swick.

Yuck.

I think that's the same Cory Hill who was a NJCAA finalist for Colby. He lost in the finals and punch out a window at the civic center.

Freakin awesome fights last night. Some great knock outs. That guy's arm popped pretty bad.

Saunders made his opponents forehead look like it was growing a grape fruit.

That was an outstanding show!

Koscheck about took that dude's head off. I hope he gets another shot at the big dogs, ie Alves or GSP...

Swick looked good, but he almost looks too skinny...

Razor needs to know when to tap. I understand heart, but holy crap! He won't be fighting for a while.

Saunders looked outstanding! Man, where did that come from.

And, finally, that is a nasty looking pic of Corey Hill. It reminds me of a video of a fight, I think it was a kickboxing match that the same thing happened.

One punch and he was swaying, another and he dropped for about 10 min.

I think he was more than swaying. He was out on his feet, and that's so dangerous. You can't tell a ref to stop the fight, just not the way this sport is right now. But it's a good example of a time when a ref could have easily jumped in and stopped it on the feet ... of course, it was such a bang-bang thing, that there's no way a ref could have jumped in. Just hate to see a guy get seriously injured.

I haven't seen any updates ... anybody heard anything about Yoshida? Like I said, I hope he's OK.

It was a great night ... and it's tough to complain about free fights!!

I'm really excited for Adrenaline II, tonight on HDNet. Pat Miletich returns to the ring! Wooo hooo!

love him or hate him....here is a very interesting statistic about Koscheck that says something about the quality of the opponents he has faced so far.....

No one can say the 31-year-old four-time collegiate All-American wrestler has been given an easy road. The combined record of Koscheck’s last six opponents -- Yoshida, Alves, Chris Lytle, Dustin Hazelett, Georges St. Pierre and Diego Sanchez -- at the time that he fought them was a staggering 90-25-5 …

Not a huge Kos fan, myself...
but he doesn't ever get the easy road at all...
he is right there with the tops of his class, he just needs to get some little things going his way.
