Observations from My Couch: UFC 123 "Ultimate Don't Call It a Comeback, BJ's Been Here for Years"

  • Joe Lauzon is one hell of a one-round fighter.  Now if he can just get that intensity up to two rounds…
  • Phil Davis is tough, but he needs to face someone legitimately in the light-heavyweight mix and not someone brought in to lose.
  • Maiquel Falcao: when you absolutely, positively want to kill an American grappler overnight.
  • Edson Barboza: when you absolutely, positively want to kill an American grappler overnight, part 2.
  • I don’t know who that Armenian was in there with Dennis Hallman, but that was not Karo Parisyan.
  • Twenty-one seconds?  Really?  BJ, I’m wondering if you even trained for your second fight with Matt Hughes.  ‘Cause you wrecked him like you did the first time you two fought.
  • Quinton Jackson managed to avoid the stanky leg and win.  Good for him.
