I don't mean to harp on how I feel about Silva. I'm trying not to as everyone knows already, I just hate him so much, LOL. It's easy to hate fighters that win all the time like Silva, GSP, Cruz, etc.

Don't worry, I still hate on Silva more than GSP...

I'm really looking forward to this free card. Lots of great matchups.
I found this pretty funny:

"The biggest thing I've had a hard time with so far, to be honest, is we've been having my teammates talk a little bit of trash inside the octagon and have me stay calm and not be worked up," Henderson said. "I actually have a hard time with that. Somebody talks trash to me, I want to talk trash back. I get emotional back to them. So, I've been working on staying calm and collected and still do my technique and not fall into his game.

"I've got to get a little more work on that, though."

Haha. No, it's called UFC on Fox 5 because they've had 4 previous events.

If anyone is logged on or lurking what's your picks for tonight's matchup between Henderson and Diaz?

I gotcha now but I still think they should have stayed on Spike.I don't care for them playing the tune from NFL telecasts either.

Well it was good to see Diaz get his butt whooped and get beaten.He usually finds a way to pull it out in tough fights but Benson Henderson totally owned him.It would have been a perfect night had BJ won.

First off, this was a pretty good card. The undercard had some great finishes.

But, the weirdest thing about this was Ben Henderson fights with a TOOTHPICK in his mouth. This is extremely dangerous. Could you imagine if he swallowed it? If it got jammed into his throat/mouth? If he got knocked out, who knows where it could go and the damage it could do.

Yeah I was listening as Rogan tried to discuss it with Henderson.He seemed to brush it off and not really want to get into it.They should stop him from having it during fights....It was a good show with good undercard matches.Diaz getting beaten was icing on the cake.

I was too faded, and it was too loud to pay attention to the post fight interview. I didn't hear about it until the next day. It's obviously illegal, and I'm sure that they will keep an eye out in the future.
