Yeah, good ol Randy. Seems like you can't count him out. I was really playing off momentum with those picks, and I felt Arlovski had a lot coming in.
But the big story of this tournament was Rampage's stamina. That shocked the hell out of me. I thought he would just barely power through these fights and be almost dead at the end. He didn't, he was fresh right up to the end. That's the power of KOing people quick and early, apparently. Lots of rest time between fights.
