About 10 times better than UFC 133. I'm really interested in seeing the top seven fights. Definitely love watching the lighter-weight guys more than the knock-out artists of heavier weight classes. A lot of those fights have some serious potential. Oliveira-Cerrone and Miller-Henderson are very, very important fights.

Turned out to be every bit as good as I expected:

Impressive:

Caceres-Hettes 1st Round: Holy shit. It was very sloppy, but a ton of transitions and counters on the ground. Love it.
Jared Hamman and CB Dollaway - Dollaway won the first round decisively, but Hamman came out in the 2nd and dominated. Impressed with both, but definitely more so Hamman.
Cole Miller - As usual. This guy is ridiculously underrated.
Donald Cerrone - As usual. Would love to see him go against Cole Miller.
Ronny Markes - What a debut. Utter domination.
Ed Herman's guard.
Joseph Benavidez's stand-up - When the UFC gets a Flyweight division, watch out. His only two losses are to Dominick Cruz, so even though he's in the Bantamweight picture, I'm not sure about his odds.
Ben Henderson - Holy shit. He manhandled Jim Miller. Title shot, please.

Unimpressive:

Bruce Leroy - He stuck with Hettes through the excellent scrappiness of the first round, but how do you let someone get a standing RNC on you when you go for a single-leg, then not even try to get out of it on the ground? Fired.
Karlos Vemora - Showed that his win over Petruzelli wasn't that great. He had no idea how to fight against the cage or in any fighting style besides flurries, and he also ran out of gas fast.
Eddie Wineland - Same shit the last two fights. Bounce around for 3 rounds and lose the stand-up. Get some variety, guy.
Amir Sadollah - Just out-worked at everything. Couldn't even take down Ludwig and his stamina didn't look that great.
Charles Oliveira - Yet again. This guy seriously needs to drop to Featherweight and take an easy fight. He's 2-2-1 in the UFC so far, fighting guys like Cerrone, Miller, Escudero, and Lentz. Give him an easy win, Joe.
Dan Hardy - Looks like he has no skill outside pure punching power. He's in exciting fights and he just got a bonus, but this guy really needs to be let go.

Definitely thought Henderson-Miller was fight of the night, but I can see why they gave it to Lytle. Really looking forward to UFC 134.

I told my buddy I was expecting Bendo to hang with Miller, giving him a tough test, but eventually losing it. But I was amazed as to how well Bendo dominated that fight. Very impressed. I won't say he needs a shot at the belt, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets Guida or the winner of Guillard/Lauzon next.

And wow, like you noted, Ed Herman's guard was great. I always liked Short Fuse, but needless to say, his BJJ was very polished last night.

Cerrone also proved why he is a serious player at 155. I love his game, he's one of my favorites.

Why in the world did Amir feel the need to keep his hands down and just eat punch after punch from Ludwig!?

And Benavidez is a stud. That entire Alpha Male camp (Faber, Benavidez, Mendes) are all seriously talented fighters. TJ Dillashaw and Lance Palmer are two lucky fighters to be over in that stable.

Yeh, you're probably right. Although I wouldn't give him the winner of Guillard/Lauzon. That's too low for Henderson. Either Guida or give Guida the shot and have Henderson wait. Is it too soon for a rematch with Pettis?

Lightweight is seriously stacked. I don't see Maynard or Edgar sticking around the title picture for long with Guida, Henderson, Cerrone, Barboza, Pettis, the Millers, Siver, and maybe a returning Sean Sherk in there. Everyone's afraid of GSP at Welterweight and Aldo at Featherweight, which means that all the other guys are in Lightweight so they won't get massacred if they get a title shot.

Yeah, I wanna to watch UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem. I saw a few sites where the event will be shown. I think Ustream has a ppv version. Justin has some channels. Greenfeedz.com has a good feed. Please post other links to share with everybody.
