Phase's By the Books:

Jason Miller looked horrible last night. Joe Rogan has been repeatedly saying its adrenaline dump. I don't know if Miller got too excited or he just don't train cardio together with his chimpanzees.

Michael Bisping looked average last night. With that fight as an indication of his readiness for a title shot, he will get murdered by Anderson Silva worse than the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'd like to see Bisping vs Sonnen to determine the number one contender.

John Dodson's laugh is as irritating as any Channing Tatum movie but the kid has serious power. I don't know about his wrestling and jiu jiutsu but the kid can be a factor in the 135 division (or even a 125 pound division).

Diego Brandao is a monster with his striking. Not only that he also showed that he has good jiu jiutsu after getting tagged by Bermudez. However, Diego is not yet ready for the 145 division's elite. I want to see him with Joe Stevenson (if he is not yet fired) or Tyson Griffin or Manny Gamburyan to test his mettle.

Overall, the event was a good night of fights. Hopefully we get to have a better UFC next week in Toronto.

Free Pool Results:

For this event, marcbjr2 channeled his old Tim Sylvia spirit and scored 60 points, the same score as Violent Mike of the Money Pool. He did this by getting 14 pints from Dodson, and getting the complete points for Delorme and Siler. Good score for a guy that picked Miller to sub Bisping in the 4th.

Second in the event is michi who scored 53 points by correctly picking Caraway and Siler.

Third is the Stallion, ItalianStallion54 who showed his mettle by correctly picking Dodson and getting 51 points. The only thing that saved you Stallion is getting the hot bout. Otherwise, you should have been behind me. Carry the momentum in the Money Pool bro!

Bottom-dweller of the night is karpentero who picked one fight and scored 5 points. Luckily for him, he did not believe in Miller's chimpanzees when he picked.

However, among those who picked all fights, it was thunderdownunder who recorded the worst picking ability for this event by scoring only 29 points. Either he did not watch any episode of the TUF or he was flipping channels between TUF, Jersey Shore and Australia's Next Top Model and that affected his picks.
