1)
World Series of Fighting's 2nd event took place. It "happened" is about as much as I can say. It's hard to find relevance in most of the fights, but, MMA on a cable channel (though I spent 20 min's using my smartphone to find it at the Alehouse with my buddy b/c who the *&^% knows what channel NBC Sports Network is on DirecTV?
Anthony Johnson once fought at welterweight (not really making weight, but still. I have to ponder what the long term health effects on his kidneys and metabolism will be that he did that.
Arlovski's chin and mental state have to be drastically effected losing/getting dropped more than once by a non-heavyweight even the likes and size of Anthony Johnson.
Cavalcante's bad luck continues with a cut forcing a stoppage of his fight.
Paulo Filho looked about as non relevant as he possibly could have.
Aaron Simpson got hurt and finished by Josh Burkman who will likely now lose to Jon Fitch when he makes his WSOF debut soon enough, leaving me to wonder who else will get crushed by Jon Fitch following that. Does anyone even know the name of any other welterweight fighters on WSOF's roster?
It's hard for me to be mad or complain too much about a promotion paying guys' bills that don't fit into the UFC for whatever reason, but I have to wonder where else the promotion will go from here. They fed Arlovski his premier fight with WSOF, then bet he would beat Johnson, so now Johnson goes back to LHW, and the first edition of WSOF was a bust for their heavyweight division b/c they banked on Arlovski.
These are the questions a fledgling organization must face and address or turn into a meaningless string of fights with no narrative, no continuity and little if any emotional investment by fans.

Laughable opinion of the day out of Anderson Silva's camp: "GSP has the advantage at 170"
- The fact that anyone thinks GSP has a shot in hell against a 185'er that's fought as high as light heavyweight (and crushed those guys while looking larger in frame than them) still blows my mind.
