A few things, first off, way way better then the first go around. The event was overall smoother and much more enjoyable.
However...
After watching Shields fight, I started to wonder how well he would do in the UFC and the answer is, he would do very well and damn it I can't wait till his contract has run out. The fights he could have in the UFC would be great, Kos, Fitch, GSP, Alves, Sanchez, or Karo.
The main event was very entertaining but after watching it I can not understand how people have Lawler in the Top 5 of MW. Are you really telling me that Lawler could hope to compete with Silva, Franklin, Hendo, Lindland, Okami, or Filho? Each one of those guys IMO would dominate and make short work of Lawler. He is a good fighter do not get me wrong, but he is no where near top 5 and barely top 10 IMO.
Diaz is a top 10 LW and outside of a bad cut against KJ Noons he has been fairly dominate. I doubt he will ever be in the UFC again or any org in which 155 is LW. He can barely make 160 and 155 would kill him. He is also just not strong to handle 170 which has been his downfall in the past. His rematch with Noons should be the next EliteXC main event on CBS.
Overall much better then the first time.
