Ken-Flo... he outclassed Huerta in every aspect of their fight last night, he seems to get better with every fight. I will never understand the hate and disdain most MMA fans, hardcore and casual have for him. Very strategic showing by Florian last night, I was very impressed.

I'm saying Emerson, his record isn't that stella, he lost twice on the show, he had the NC with Gray Maynard(he probably would have lost anyway), then wins a hard fought SD over Nakamura, the last thing I expected him to do was KO Manny(the TUF finalist), I thought he'd win, but a quick KO over someone like Manny impressed me the most.
MacDonald's sub defense was also impressive(until he got RNC'd obviously).

MacDonald impressed me the most skill wise. Fitch impressed me with his chin and will. Damn, I thought the fight was over about three times and yet he kept coming.
Emmerson shocked the hell out of me (and 95% of MMA fans). I totally called that wrong, but I still don't think of him as a better fighter. Manny shocked me by being a pretty good sport about the KO. There was no question though, he had to give Rob props for that.
Both Lesnar and Kongo performed as I expected.
GSP, I was hoping to see a little more than the typical GnP we've recently grown accustomed to, but he'll I am happy that he won.
All in all this was one of the more solid cards I've seen in a while.

Out of all the winners, I must say that GSP impressed me the most. I am a big fan of Fitch and can't believe he got technically manhandled the way he did. He made Fitch look like an average joe off the street. GSP looked more focused than ever before. Lesnar did not impress me at all. He did exactly what I expected him to do(same thing he did to Mir), nothing but hold him down. One of the most boring fights of the night. His showboating and pushing of Heath at the end of the first was also unnecessary. He acts like a punk and don't think the UFC needs a personality like that.

I expected GSP and Maia to fight that good so I cant say it impressed me.
I don't think Emerson's win makes me think anymore of him, just less of Manny
Kongo beat a can that the UFC fed to him
Lesnar got my vote. I knew he would win but not in that fashion.
Also, props to Fitch and Herring as they both took beatings and kept going

Honestly, I have to go with Jon Fitch. Even though he lost, he showed that he's definitely top tier in the WW division. I don't know many others who could have survived the first round like he did. He didn't win, but I was still extremely impressed by his resilience.

Many were impressive but Maia gets my vote. He shows he is not a one trick pony. When he mounted MacDonald and rained down strikes instead of just going for a Sub attempt I was surprised. He is a real force at 185.

Not even a question. Brock looked invincible. Heath had nothing. No answer to Brocks skill. Certainly handled him better than the current champ did.
