Horn pretty much got handled. I didn't think he showed much offence at all. Marquardt was actually pretty impressive. IRC though Horn had a chance on the ground with the go go polata. I think that was the Horn fight. He was like an inch away from getting the foot under Nate's chin.
I thought Lesnar was going to get a pound out win. He showed his power for sure. Mir kept moving and working. I was hoping Mir could scramble for Lesnar's back and get an RNC in. He did say that was his plan, legs and neck. Lesnar just bull rushed him and tried to get a stoppage, but he did not control Mir's upper body. Once he shifted to that ankle when Lesnar was standing, I thought he was going to sweep him. For all the beating Mir took, he kept his head and stuck to his plan. I think Lesnar would have been better off standing and trading for a minute and building up a decent sweat. Mir impressed me as well, that was the best he looked since his return.
Nog can take a beating. Timmmay hurt him once, but Nog kept working his game. Tim wanted no part of Nog on the ground. That sweep was impressive, he used nice technique to roll Sylvia over. I saw him working the arm and he tried to step over the head to lock it, I was standing up at that point! Sylvia slipped out and bang, the Guillotine was on, with an arm in too. It was a good choke, he did not have the arteries, he had the adams apple. I think Nog should have kicked more. There was no fear of being taken down and Sylvia could have countered, but after a few more leg kicks, he would have been backing up rather than moving forward. Who am I to critic the guy that won the fight though!
