My thoughts on the night:
I really don't know what the alternative is, but I'm growing increasingly skeptical of the UFC hype machine. I swear, they could make ME sound like I actually have a chance to take out Anderson Silva with the right pre-game hype. I mean Belfort looked ok. And it wasn't a terrible fight. But showing clips of Belfort literally like 8 years ago and at a weight class that is considerably bigger - I'd guess around 25 to 35 pounds (perhaps he was using more creatine back then?) doesn't mean he is going to do that to *anyone* now - much less Anderson Silva. But you start believe it after watching. At least I do. So it works. (But I'm fully aware of what's going on if that makes sense). Bader is a strong dude. For Jones to what he did to both Hamil and now Bader shows some deceptively good grappling/wrestling skills on the part of Jones. We know he can submit. We know he is a great striker. I wasn't on board really but I'm beginning to think he may be the next big thing. I'd give him a shot against the significantly more experienced Shogun. Maybe I'm a Ceronne rump swab but I swear the 2nd prelim fight was arguably the best one of the night.
Anderson Silva is the Da Vinci of striking; Jon Jones is about to be Picasso
He said on MMA Live last night, Seagal helped him with it. And that he then worked on it alot during training camp. So, he directly credited Seagal. The attempts to discredit or minimize his influence are lulz worthy though.It's not like that's the first time Anderson has practiced or seen that type of kick.

He was using it way before Seagal.
Anderson didn't say that Seagal introduced him to the technique. But he did credit Seagal A LOT for improving his performance of it.He was using it way before Seagal.
