My thoughts:
Koschek has improved by so so much. Forget the lay and pray, he was a really exciting fighter, displaying great stand up skills where before he had none.
Diego Sanchez is ridiculous. He went full blast and never gassed for three rounds. I’ve never seen conditioning that crazy.
Also flexibility wise, throwing a knee at about shoulder level and knocking out a guy’s tooth is pretty nuts.
Sanchez is awesome. AMAZING conditioning. When someone from Tito’s camp keep up with the pace, you know Sanchez is in rediculous shape. His ground movement is superb. Now, if he didn’t act like a douche bag I’d be really digging him.
Leben has a mean left hook. Maybe the win will help him get past the nightmares of Anderson Silva raping him repeatedly with his own blood for lubrication.
Just an observation, is it just me, or did they stop teaching people to keep their eyes open when they punch?
That Sanchez fight was insane.
Koschek did look good, a lot crisper on his feet than he previously did. I think he is the type of explosive athlete who could improve and replace matt hughes at the top of the welterweight division…1-2 years removed from now.
Lister looked really winded at the end of his match, his guard moves were pretty frickin stellar in the 2nd though.
Diego…blah, he was a bad matchup for Karo from the start…a tireless guy who likes to move for the takedown and not try submissions. Whatever…I still don’t like him. And who the hell scored it 30-26? Probably the same asshole who gave diego a 30-27 against Alessio.
Oh yeah, why the hell doesn’t everybody go out like a greased up monkey like Diego does?
I don’t really see how Diego one all three judges uniamously? What the hell?
I think they are trying to pimp his undefeated status and have him as a future big pay per view against GSP or Matt Hughes.

I agree on Diego being a bit of a douche bag, “all praise and appreciation to lord Jesus Christ for allowing me to make this motherfucker bleeeeed!”
His conditioning was very, very good, unreal almost. I don’t see him winning all three rounds though.
I was surprised in Dean getting winded but he looked a bit dehydrated.
