Re: UFC 76
I think this is an excellent point. Also explains why Randy Couture has been so successful in his picks recently, having seen a lot of these guys train, and trained with them.

dominated is a bit of a stretch, i think shogun was winning the first half of the fight, but from the mid 2nd round on shogun basically demonstrated the definition of the term "gassed," he pretty much looked like he was moving in slow motion
i don't think there is any doubt in anyone's mind that forrest trained harder and wanted this win more than his opponent
one of my first thoughts after this fight was wondering just how much value there is in seeing fighters train firsthand, i couldn't help thinking about how confident performify was in houston alexander after seeing him in person before his last fight and comparing that to the rumors that shogun appeared out of shape coming in to this fight
