stevenson stood in there like a warrior still, and even with his back on the ground he was still at work. that glancing elbow split him open bad though, and it was only a matter of time before he couldn't do anything. i knew going into the second round that we weren't going to see a 3rd. i would have liked to see where things could have went without the enormous bloodbath that ensued with that split forehead. i personally didn't see it as a total asswhooping. people really love to get up on bj's nutsack don't they? stevenson wasn't layingback at all. bj was dominant, but in my eyes it was just another fight that ended due to a cut.
i was more excited for werdum and gonzaga, and everybody seems to overlook that fight, which was a great display in it's own right. werdum really pulled it out, it didn't end quite the way i thought it was going too.
really though, this entire event was one of the most exciting ppv's i've seen in months. was a good show all night, not a boring fight to be seen. i feel like i got my 40 bucks worth. which is pretty satisfying after going a stretch there were i was feeling awfully ripped off at the end of every night. here's to another couple of great events coming up too! ufc is gonna keep pushing it in '08.
