Are you kidding !!! Every fight was f-n outstanding. Came down to great matchups. Who would have thought it, with the crappy fights on the show every thursday. I get every payper view and this was better than the last 4 ufc ppv. Awesome fights. ( Real fights )

fight was INSANE. My heart was thumping the whole time. I was rooting for Kendall and was glad to see him get the decision. Best fight I've seen in a looong time.
ed got screwed

How ??? he got beat and was still given an contract! You can't end a close fight in a RNCH and be given the decision...
ed dominated the first round
I give him the second round too
kendall had him in the weak choke for the last 30 seconds of the fight, ed was on top of him for the other 4 minutes or so

I thought it was really close, but it's hard not to give the last round to Grove w/ that RNC almost locked. Either way, it was a tremendous fight that went back and forth the whole time.
Having said that, they're both going to have to step up to be a force in the MW div.
Franklin would rape them...
at the same time.
Ed only went for the quick takedowns, while Kendall tried various sub attempts. Really, really close. But judges are human and they probably saw what a dick Ed was on tv, could have swayed their opinion a little.
kendall was a dick too he just didn't claim to be the best in the house

Either way I would have been ok with the decision. It's just a shame to see 2 guys give everything they had and have it be decided by the judges. I'm looking forward to seeing these guys go at it again in the future and I think with a little better cardio Ed will just ground and pound Kendall to death.
Ed's ground and pound game tends to leave him open for triangles. Had Kendall been a bit more advanced in BJJ, that fight would've been over.
There were a couple of little things Kendall could've done to cinch in on better.
1. Shifting his hips to the wrapping leg side, and then moving his hips back to bring Ed's head down.
2. Pumping the the locking leg can also help tighten the hold.
3. Hooking Ed's leg on the wrapping side. Ed was able to pick Kendall up and slam him. That shouldn't happen.
With Kendall's legs, he is a natural for the triangle. If he works with a super technical BJJ black belt and really perfects the move. He'll be hard to stop.
Are you knocking Dean?
anyone notice Eds parents? Looked like they were a Joe Dirt parody. wtf!
WOW! Guess I watched another fight, thought it sucked, all Herman did was take Kendall down and lay on him, or throw some weak ass elbows, the only reason he got a contract is because he trains with Team Quest, and that was it, no where near the level of Bonnar/Griffin, that was a real fight, what they did was a high school wrestling match,how the hell do you get multiple submission holds and each guy got out, don't know, it was just me, but hey what do I know,
By the way,
you must not be a grappling fan...TITO WILL BEAT SHAMCOCK BACK TO REALITY
they'll both have problem against more experienced fighters. kendall should have kept the fight standing wich his reach advantage and herman moving like a zombie.
Not that I am not a grappling fan, I am not a fan of boring fights, and that was boring, all I'm saying, do not think herman deserved a contract, that is a slap in the face of Bonnar, he fought war, not the bullshit herman did
herman is shorter, but has a reach advantage over kendall...
how is that possible, kendall is 6'6 and should have no problems keeping ed off him with pushkicks and jabs
