Observations From My Couch: UFC 95

  • It's been a long time coming, but it was good to finally see Mike Ciesnolevicz in the Octagon.
  • Per Eklund, Evan Dunham, Stefan Struve, Junior Dos Santos... I had no idea who they were before UFC 95, and after seeing them fight, I still have no idea who they are.
  • What language was Terry Etim speaking? Romulan? Please don't put a microphone in his face again.
  • Josh Koscheck. The best welterweight fighter out there capable of getting knocked out by anyone.
  • Demian Maia looked great, but how much of that was Chael Sonnen sucking?
  • Bravo to Dan Hardy for keeping the mohawk alive. Rock on, punky.
  • Diego Sanchez had a decent win, but it wasn't awe-inspiring. His nickname should no longer be "the Nightmare". "The Fitful Dream" would be more apt.
