| UFC 110: Who impressed you the most?!
For me I guess it would have to be between Cain or George...I mean, Cain beat the crap outta Big Nog (I cried...no seriously) but he did look a lot more crisp and aggressive working angles and changing levels while Nog has ALWAYS been a little stiff and flat footed, his boxing is GOOOOD, don't get me wrong, but Cain was oh so much more fluid and crisp. But whilst watching George Sotiruopolousapapalous, I couldn't believe how he was man handling and throwing Joe Stevenson around like a practice wrestling dummy, I mean wow! Joe Stevenson had the experience, the strength the power yada yada we all knew that. and I thought that might've made it a tough fight for George but man did he come through!...honorable mention...WAR WAND!!!

George.....he destroyed a blackbelt in BJJ on the ground and has the sickest gaurd passing there is.
Joe Daddy looked like a rookie even though we konw he is good.

He's not that dangerous off of his back and when he is on top, he goes more for the ground and pound. George has LEGIT BJJ skills and can threaten from any position. Cain suprised me the most because I, along with others, didn't think Cain had true KO power and he finished a high level opponent, ranked higher than Joe.

I've watched Joe Stevenson's grappling videos and he's good man, it's just you see him on top more than anything. And I think being very good and proficient in a few sub's is better than being mediocre and rarely pulling them off, in abundance. but yeah, Cain was a monster. IDK I just love good ol' grapplin'

But I still have to go with George almost everyone pick "Joe Daddy" And I dont know if you roll in BJJ but once you get a Purple belt, not even a blackbelt, you should not get passed like that, unless he (george) is that good
A few people atleast though Cain had a chance

George all the way, I knew his ground game was slick as hell, but he was getting the better of the standup too! Great performance, a little more experience, a few more big name fights, and I want to see his title shot.

I went with Cain. I've always thought and said Joe Daddy is overrated. He didn't deserve the title shot when he got it. George did look good, I can't wait to see his next fight.

I missed the fights sadly, but from what I hear Cain proved me wrong for saying he was overrated.

Has to be George. Nate Diaz is a tough fighter- like him or not- and Joe looked really good against him. He looked like a new fighter and a guy who was back on the rise. George made him look like a guy fighting in the UFC for the first time. Cain kicked ass but I thought he had a decent shot to win. I thought Joe would run right through George.

I picked Cain as well for all the previous stated reasons. Everythings really coming together for him and he just gets better and better.
I might be the only one here, but I thought Bader was pretty entertaining. Yeah, he was sloppy at times, but exciting none the less. Then again I'm a sucker for flying knees.
Wandy was exciting too. Looking like the old Wand, just a little more technical. Gotta love that guy.
George showed he is a real contender. I had a feeling he was going to suprise alot of people. He seriously impressed me and everyone I was watching the fights with. We should get some good match-ups out of him.
