Mixed feelings about this one: That main event between Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort... WOW! What a shocking conclusion to what promised to be an incredible fight. On the flip side, however, the fight that I had hoped/expected to be "Fight of the Century" between Rich Franklin vs Forrest Griffin (two of my favorite UFC fighters, ever) turned out to be very anticlimactic; I was expecting a real slobberknocker between these two and it turned out to be pretty much a dance-festival. I think both respected the other's strengths and ability just a tad too much, turning this into something slightly more than a "snooze-fest" but certainly not very exciting. A big letdown, really. The other fights were interesting...even "good" in certain matches, but the two "co-main events" (I still don't understand how you can have multiple "main events"; that's like my kid saying their "third favorite color"...) were as up-and-down in the excitement factor as any card I've watched...and I've watched them all from UFC #1 The Beginning.
