BJ said before the fight that it was not a good time to be stepping into the octagon with him, and he was right. BJ was in a zone and Stevenson was doomed, cut or no cut. Joe is tough and will wear the title within a few years.

And yes the card overall was fantastic. I'm just wondering when Davis will get a title shot? He's got to be thinking about it after yet another impressive 1st round win.

One little gripe though is all these "interim" title matches. From what I understand Penn is now the champ but it was billed as a match for the interim title? Same with GSP vs. Hughes and then Silvia vs. Nogueira.

Why not just call them "Top Contender" match as to me, they are not title fights when someone else owns the belt and hasn't been beaten for it. Either strip the champ of the belt or not, but temporary champions to me have no credibility.
