Thoughts on the elbows to the back of the head in the HW fight? Blatant to me but what surprised me was the way the commentators swept it under the carpet.

I thought all but maybe one hit just behind the ear, not quite the back of the head

Agreed: blatant 'BotH' elbows. Should have been a DQ, however spectacular a finish that was.

I'm pretty sure I saw Browne grab hold of the fence too just before he started dropping the elbows (I saw 2 defiantly hit the back of the head) and the ref had warned him about both moments before. I also thought the Tate stoppage was a tad early but I doubt she would have made it to the end of the round anyway.

Also I think I maybe the only one who enjoyed the main event, thought there was a ton of skill shown on the ground early on and you could see they were aware of each others threats and were constantly trying to out think their opponent.

I agree. Faber was very impressive.

Uriah Hall beleived the hype, simples.
I agree the two ladies were fotn for me, an excellent scrap.
The main event wasn't bad either. Faber started well, then faded, then picked it up again in the last round.
Also on last nights showing I reckon Bubba would beat Hall

Tate and Zig put on a great show and should have headlined for me over the 135 division which is still meh for me.  I thought the stoppage was justified but maybe i need to re watch as Tate was taking a beating.  Im sure Hall will be back and maybe a rematch with Bubba would be good.

Zingano was awesome.  Those knees at the end were a thing of beauty.  She still doesn't get out of the first round with Rousey though.  Oddly Cat looked pretty moody when they squared off.  

Anyone else think that Jones looked like a giant manbaby when he refused to look at Sonnen?  Laughable.

i really dont like the guy tbh and long for the day he gets brought down to earth.  Sonnen can sell a fight and Jones does nothing for the PPV buys iMO .  Id liove for Sonnen to kick his butt but i dont see it happening.

Female MMA fighters are as scared of Rousey's ground game as the male UFC fighters were of Royce Gracie's ground game back in the day.
Once someone works out how to keep the fight standing, Rousey will be Ko'd
