Glad to see an event finally pan out for the fans.

Every fight was great and this card had nearly every element of mma in it. From the war with Rampage and Machida, to the wrestling war with Munoz and Simpson, the debut of raw talent in Falcao, the incredible submission of Lauzon by G-Sot, and last but certaintly not least the rise of a fallen Champion and a brutal KO by Penn.

 

123 gets a 100% undeniable A+, only thing i wouldve liked to see diffrently would have been The Heat judo throwing his way back into the eyes of fans but sadly he got KOd like a little girl twice. Once in the prelims and the encore in the PPV before the main event.

lol' date=' god damn lay n pray. I'm a little disappointed by GSP though. I hope that Kos vs GSP is a stand up war instead of a 'lets see who can keep the other down the longest' fight.[/quote']

 

Judging by their cornering skills so far on this season of TUF option 2 is going to be the story of the fight.

I hope to god your not talking about the snorefest that i witnessed yesterday or last week the UFC has not had a good event since 100 well 119 was pretty good

 

Mr McTowelie, if you haven't enjoyed any events since UFC100 I fear you have lost all ability to enjoy MMA. You should probably just give up watching it all together.

 

Sure, there have been some rubbish cards in that period but there have also been some really good ones, and 123 was definitely one of the good ones.

yes that was a big part of why but more for the KO than the fact it was Bj Penn. Been awhile since the one handed bomb has been dropped, and dont be jealous because Bj can do it and GSP cant.

 

This card was so much more refreshing because the UFC has had a horrible string of cards lately. This was the only one where every fight was an actual fight.

I actually laughed at "the war with Rampage and Machida". How can anyone refer to that as a war? Hardly a scratch on either fighter.

 

The event overall was decent, but mostly for the hype. The Hughes v Penn fight lasted 21 secs, so hardly a great fight. The Rampage v Machida fight was decent, but was really just Rampage hunting down Machida for about 12 minutes until we finally saw a flurry from Machida. There really wasn't any special fights on the night. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't one of the best unfortunately.
