The Clay Guida v Ben Henderson fight was well worth staying up for though, superb fight, without a doubt one of the best of the year!

Dont think the american public saw that fight on fox.

It was a great fight and one of the best this year by far...guidas never in a boring fight,one of my favourites.

What a fight Hendon v Shogun was! Seriously could be the greatest fight in the history of MMA!

Check out this picture, taken at the local hospital after the fight....best sport in the world!

Great fight - weird as it sounds im happy it was back on PPV and not ESPN, i hated the coverage of the JDS / Cain fight.

How people have Shogun for a W on sherdog is beyond me, he got beat up for 3 rounds and his cardio is still average looking. Great card though - the Wandy v Cung Le fight was equally as good.

I had it as a draw.

10-9 Hendo the first 3 rounds, 10-9 10-8 the last two to Shogun.

A lot of debate as to whether the last round was a legit 10-8 round, but when you take into account Stefan Bonnar got two 10-8 rounds in his fight, doing far less damage, then surely Shogun takes a 10-8 there?!

True but then we open up the can of worms on judges - dont go there!

End of the day I think Shogun had the chance to take Hendo in the 4th and 5th, Hendo just stood there with an inane grin, hands down. You arent going to KO him, but you can take him down and submit him ala Silva. I dont think he had the gas to do it though - which goes back to his cardio.

Hendo rua....wow! What a war that was..didnt think anything would beat Edgar maynard 2 for fight of the year but that was an awsome fight...closest thing to an mma rocky balboa fight you'll see...i think only true mma fans can understand and appreiciate how good that was.

Also wanderlei silva looked impressive...some quality mua thai to finish the fight!

Cung Le was always going to lose though, I've lost count now the number of big names who lost their first fight in the octagon. Its a totally different experience. You've got the likes of Cro Cop, Shogun, Lesnar, etc.

One of the few MMA fights I've watched all the way through (Henderson-Rua). Enjoyed it bothe guys showed great heart. I did spit dr pepper over my keyboard when I read Dana White comparing it to Ali-Frazer III (The Thrilla in Manilla)

I think he said it was mma's version of ali frazier III which for the time mma has been around its probably a fair comparison...i cant think of many mma fights that could top that for an all out war..amazing stuff.
