Meh. Certainly the worst event I’ve seen in a long time from a fan perspective, and not anything to write home about from a gambling perspective either.

Results on the night:

* Evans -275 : 2.75u to win 1u - WIN +1u
* Alexander -155 : 4.65u to win 3u - loss -4.65u
* Doerkson +120 : no action - no action
* Karo -345 : 1.72u to win .5u - WIN +.5u
* Fisher +105 : .25u to win .26u - loss -.25u
* Alves -180 : 1.8u to win 1u - WIN +1u
* Reinhardt +300 : .15u to win .45u - loss -.15u
* Aurellio -450 : 2.5u to win .5u - WIN +.5u
* McCrory +200 : .5u to win 1u - loss -.5u

Result on the night: 4-4 -2.55 units

Meh. None of the longshot underdogs came through, although McCrory did win the first round on the judges card and was winning the first minute of the second round before getting caught.

Not real sure what happened with Alexander. He certainly looked a lot less aggressive than expected. MMAjunkie.com will certainly follow up with Alexander and his coach Mick Doyle next week to get their take on what happened.

I think you may have gotten a bit too involved with Alexander to be objective, Perf (and I'm not just thinking this after the fact - I bet on Silva). The fight went more or less exactly like I expected, and Houston showed nothing on the ground.

I could be off, but this may be something to think about when you are capping fighters that you develop a personal relationship with through your work.

Re: UFC 78, TUF 6 Finale, UFC 79
 

Well, the Alexander fight was pretty much exactly like how I posted. The clinch was inevitable and then once it went to the ground there was no real resistance on Houston's part. Thiago Silva is a great grappler and his top control is quite good. Expecting Houston to stop him with the short amount of training time he's had with BJJ was just a little unrealistic.

Anyways, we can all definitely agree that from a fan's perspective, the event was very poor. Least entertaining card since the early UFCs, IMO.
