So much for "stacked" eh? Proof that big names dont make good fights. Nogueira looked like he was trying to find his feet all night, nearly got KO'd by a Herring head kick (And this is a guy who shrugged off a CC head kick!)
Sherk / Franca was a bit of a snooze fest, apart from Franca's knees. Sherk did a load of transitions, but didnt actually mount much offense.
Tito / Rashad was just boring, little action here again, but really showed up how far Tito has fallen, he looked dreadful in this fight. His striking was sloppy and he was exhausted by the end. However, he claimed to be healthy before the fight, so at least we didnt get a load of excuses. I was pleased by Rashad, I thought he would give Tito trouble, and he did 
Florian's fight was nothing spectacular. Good Haraigoshi by Florian though.
Silva / Marquardt was great though, that really was a fantastic fight, Silva looked awesome, popping Nate with a few jabs, grappling with him, then the shot that put Nate away, hitting him in the face and causing his head to rebound off the mat before raining in more and more shots, was sheer beauty. Franklin is really going to have his work cut out in the rematch!
All in all, the fights were pretty unspectacular, Im disappointed to admit. However, Silva made it worth watching, I love seeing that guy laying it down! 
What did you expect!!!
What would you rather!?!?! A stacked card with some of the top fighters in the world where all the fights are close and could go either way or a card with half as many top fighters fightin bums with quick KO's???
MMA isnt all about quick finishes!!
I enjoyed all the fights on the card even the tito fight because i was really waiting for rashad to take take tito down.

I know MMA isnt all about quick finishes, I often feel cheated by quick finishes (unless we knew they were coming, like Rampage / Liddell II), I prefer to see fights with a mix of good stand up, good clinches and take downs, good wrestling and good submission attempts, instead of one fighter just using wrestling to take a guy down and hold him in place. I know thats a legit tactic, but it doesnt make for great viewing!

Tito looked like he didnt want to lose to a TUF guy plus its Tito if its not on the ground he wount stand and throw. And of course Silva was gonna win as well as Sherk. Nog looked shaky but who hasnt in their 1st UFC Rampage did and they gave Cro Cop a punching bag in scratch that a running punching bag in his first fight

I just watched Lytle's fight, that was a slick submission. Probably my favorite submission of the year!
