It kind of surprised me the way the fight turned out, i mean, Lawler literally gave up the first 2 rounds. Ninja punched himself out in round 2, that is such a rookie move, i cant believe he did that! wow! It was obviously Lawlers strategy to play possum until round 3, he even ate all those leg kicks with no problem. He was always a dangerous fighter, but now hes putting some brains behind the brawn.. id like to see Robbie back in the UFC, that performance was a work of art, Ali couldnt have done it better hehe..[/quote] no doubt man that fight awesome!!! the end of round two Lawler was just standing in front of him taking shots and smiling the whole time. every punch that was thrown i was just waiting for someone to fall. and at the end of round 2 i knew Lawler had the fight in the bag because Ninja couldnt hurt and Lawler was just waiting for his opening. i really did wanna see Ninja take this one but i had an idea that Lawler was going to be to much for him to handle. what did you think of the Diaz fight, a bit more lackluster then i expected from his return.

Villasenor takes the split decision win. on to our ladies of mma Gina Carano vs. Tonya Evinger. this one surprised me big time all week i was telling people Tonya was going to take Gina down and make her tap, and just as i though it was going to happen Gina ends up on Tonya's back and finished with the rear naked choke at 2:53 of round 1. next up was the return of one of my favorites Nick Diaz. Nick Diaz vs. Mike Aina was a very good fight and again it was a very close fight that was hard to say who won, the fight went to the judges and two out of three gave the win to Diaz and i agree. for every 2 power shot Aina landed Diaz landed 5 or 6 clean but lighter punches and Diaz ended round 2 on Aina's back and close to finishing it and ended round 3 very close to finishing with an armbar. you need to see this fight for yourself to decide who won. and the main event Robbie Lawler vs. Murilo Rua all im gonna say is you have to see this fight for yourself it was a good one. and Doc your the man i bow to you. [quote comment="9640"]Lawler by TKO in round 3[/quote] sorry this post was so long but i had to fill you all in on what you might have missed. i really like EliteXC and im sure it wont get enough coverage and i would like to see this org take off. im going to try and get these fights on the internet somewhere for people to see so let me know if you wanna see these fights and i will try to get them to you. ********************spoiler**************************
