    I gotta admit, that was the best fight I've ever seen, although not sure I agree with the verdict.

    That fight contained everything; drama, excitement, back and fourth deadly threats, blood, and TONS of heart. That fight makes J.D/Cain look like Micky mouse on ice.

    I do not like how Rua dominated the whole entire last round with Dan on his back struggling for his life, and then lose the fight. I think a draw would've sufficed.

    Anyway, best MMA fight I've ever seen.:good

    That was one of the greatest MMA fights of all time.

    I scored it a draw, but I could see a case being made for 47-46 Hendo.

    If that fight was "meh" to you, you should stop wasting your time watching MMA because it will never make sense to you. That was everything that a fight should be.

    There was more to the fight than the last round.

    Dan did more than Shogun.

    47/46 Hendo.

    They are both made of old shoe leather.

    Yep, same here. I hate that there has to be a loser in such a fight. They gave us something very special tonight.

    Can't believe Shogun survived some of those H-Bombs that were driven right through his cheen and how Hendo stayed up from that damn uppercut.

    What a pair of legendary warriors.

    What a great fight! A case of a draw could've been made. but a hendo decision is still justified.

    props to the two of the greatest chins, hearts, champions and mma fighters of all time! :good

    Very good fight, classic, probably the best I've seen since Hominick vs Aldo back in April.

    You seriously think the Aldo v Hominick fight was better than that? I thought it was an entertaining scrap, but for me it doesn't lay a finger on what we watched tonight.

    imo, the aldo-hominick fight pales in comparison to the hendo-shogun fight and i don't think i need to explain why.:lol:
