UFC 93 came and went, and after the PPV was over I found myself rather uninspired. That is what happens sometimes, though, and I am OK with that.

- Marcus Davis and Chris Lytle
These fighters lived up to their promise of putting on an exciting fight. In the end, the technicality of Davis’ style was superior to the haymaking aggressive style of Chris Lytle. Lytle is a great fighter, but he goes for the kill with every combo he throws. As mixed martial artists become more technical, Lytle will find his style obsolete.

- Shogun Rua and Mark Coleman
Two words are coming to my head when I think of Shogun Rua. Has and Been. What an awful performance. Shogun had all the time in the world to prepare for this fight and looked terrible. Coleman was done after round 1. His hands were low, his mouth wide agape and his eyes had a vacant look. The knockout was there for the taking and it took way too long to finish the 44-year-old UFC hall of famer off.

Rumor has it Shogun will collide with Chuck Liddell at UFC 97. I hope Chuck can dispose of Shogun with a spectacular “Iceman” style knockout.

- Denis Kang and Alan Belcher
I had a feeling Kang was going to lose. With the exception of Anderson Silva and Rampage Jackson, every time the UFC brings in a successful mixed martial artist who has competed in overseas organizations, they seem to have trouble assimilating to the octagon.

Belcher continues to look impressive. He finished of Kang with a textbook guillotine choke. This win has officially put Belcher on the map, and now people will start to recognize who “The Talent” is.

- Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson
I don’t know how I feel about the outcome of this fight. At the end of round two I told my brother that this was going to be a very hard fight to score. When the decision was announced for Hendo, my first reaction was, “what?”. I guess on sub-conscious level I felt that Rich Franklin did enough to win the fight.

Compustrike has Franklin landing 42 percent of his total strikes, while Henderson only landed 34%. Franklin threw 21 more strikes then Hendo. Rich threw and landed more leg kicks, landing 42 percent as oppose to Hendo’s 40 percent. Henderson was the busier fighter on the ground, landing two takedowns to Rich’s zero. Hendo threw 24 strikes on the ground and landed half of them. Rich only threw 9 strikes, but landed 6 of them. Neither fighter attempted a submission.

I guess the ground game played heavily into the decision. Had Franklin landed a take down or had some submission attempts, perhaps the decision would have gone his way.
