Wow, what a fantastic night of fights at UFC 110. Velasquez beat Nogueira to the punch and finished the fight early, which I did not expect even though I picked Cain to win. He isn't likely to leapfrog to winner of Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin , but I definitely expect him to get a title shot before the year is out.
Wanderlei's gutsy decision win prevented me from sweeping the main card, but credit too him for successfully reinventing himself as a middleweight. It now appears possible that Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama could take place at UFC 115 in Vancouver. That would be a dream fight for most B.C. MMA Fans, myself most definitely included.
I will have more detailed reactions to UFC 110 by Monday morning. By the way, if you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend taking in the Olymic atmosphere in down town Vancouver. Simply epic.
