    So some weird things happened. Pat Healy looked way bigger and stronger than Miller and simply ground him up like Miller normally does to his opponents. I'm not sure if Phil's striking looked so good b/c Vinny pretty much stood there and got punched in the face or if he has just gotten a lot better; regardless, Vinny's game plan or lack of one was pretty bush league. If you are a BJJ guy you better have a plan to get the fight on the ground. Roy was...well Roy. It will be real interesting to see how he fairs against Hunt or Cormier. He could probably take Hunt down and either get a sub or grind out a win but I imagine they stand in the middle and trade bombs till someone dies. Cormier offers great hand speed and wrestling which I'd be interested in seeing how Roy counters. As much as I like seeing him and his beer belly knock out guys with 6-pack abs I am with Dana and would really like to see what Roy could do if he dropped 40 pounds. I was surprised after how well Okami controlled Belcher that Bisping didn't look to take the fight to the ground but hey he got it done. I hope Belcher gets cut. The guy is good but this is two fights in a row where he showed up looking woefully unprepared for his opponent. Jones looked fantastic last night. The ease with which he picked up and dropped Chael was really impressive.
