[Mr. Raider]

Thats the difference between fighters and boxers. Fighters see lions and mean shit. Boxers just see dollar signs $$$$$$$$$$$$. MMA is king.

That was THE moment in that fight where i said to myself; "Man, they are totally going for fight of the year. I mean shit they're blocking shots with their heads."


Clay Guida rocked the shit this year, he was in 2 of the most exciting fights I'v seen all Year.

Respect.

Absolutely. I like both fighters. I thought Clay was starting to pull away with it and then got sloppy and tagged with that knee. Clay Guida is the BEST fighter in the UFC with a losing record, hands down. No one "owned" anyone. (If anyone got owned it was Tommy Speers.) Clay was pushing the pace in the second. He was relentless with his persuit. every scramble he was all over Huerta's ass. Huge props to both fighters.

It just me or have the spike cards been better than the PPV cards lately?

In the end, Guida just pulled a Babalu Sobrol and came rushing forward with no game plan for the third round. Even before the knee I knew this wasn't going to end well for him. Huerta kept his head about him and the rest is history.

He was owning him, Huerta Is an awsome fighter, But he was getting his shit handed to him. Props for the win!

Ahh but wait for the 29th amigo.

They do this often. They usually put together a strong first half of their year, rest up their better and injured fighters after the summer and hit us with something big on the NYE card.

Conversely, the Spike cards get better and better as year goes on. I'm actually really glad, because the UFC is finally learning how to use up-and-coming talent. When Nate Marquardt fought Anderson Silva on the Stacked card, everyone at the bar I usually watch at was saying "WTF is this guy?" Yet when Spencer Fisher fought Frankie Edgar at 78 everyone was rooting for Fisher after his performance against Sam Stout at FN10 back in June. This fight is going to work wonders for Huerta and Guida.

UFC needs to develop their talent on Spike this way. When it all comes down to it, they need to cater more to the casual fan than they do to us.... Not that Bisping v Evans as a main event catered to anyone, but okay. I mean they were TUF winners so it could have been the right idea. Give true fans 3 or 4 cards, and build the rest for the average joe.

It's a win-win situation. They get more money, we get to see more fighters grow.

I'd put Guida ahead for both of the first 2, but definitely not 10-8 in either round. Too much action and too many landed blows for each fighter for all that mess. I was up on my feet screaming by the time Huerta hit the canvas after getting crushed. Didn't see the Warmachine fight till tonight and while it was awesome as well, I was too pleased that the Guida-Huerta fight was as big as I was hoping all these other past fights would have been. (yes, I'm looking at you, Vera/Sylvia, Koscheck/Sanchez)
