How about that card? I was ridiculously excited about the rematch between Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann that was set to headline UFC Fight Night 27, and it certainly didn't disappoint. As a matter of fact, pretty much the whole main card delivered in my eyes despite only getting a couple of finishes out of six fights. The only really slow fight in the top six was the Tavares/McDaniel fight, and the undercard exceeded expectations. You can't exactly judge these Wednesday cards off of the first one but if they can deliver at this level in the future, I'll be a huge fan despite them mostly taking place while I'm still at work.

I said in the predictions that Carlos Condit's takedown defense had improved, and I looked pretty stupid for the first five minutes as Kampmann took him down a bunch of times and dominated the round. Condit completely turned it around from then on though, and stuffed pretty much everything Kampmann threw at him. And once he was able to do that, he completely took over with the striking. Kampmann had his moments on the feet, but Condit just has a more diverse attack and never stopped coming forward. If you don't find Carlos Condit entertaining, you might want to find another sport to watch. Diaz fight aside, Condit brings it 100% every time he gets in the octagon, and he's a pleasure to watch.

What happened to Donald Cerrone? He just didn't look like the same smooth kickboxer he usually is, and Rafael dos Anjos beat him because of it. Cowboy never even saw the right hook that dropped him in the first, and he didn't seem to show much urgency at all until halfway through the third round. Dos Anjos was on cruise control by then though, and he absolutely deserved the W. RDA is now a staple of the top-10 at lightweight, something a lot of people would have never believed three years ago. It remains to be seen if he's a title threat, but that was a huge win.
