So, everything was just amazing tonight. We had a great crowd. We had an amazing night of fights. It was just spectacular. We decided to hand out a shit-load of bonuses as a result. We had 3 fight of the night bonuses, because all 3 fights demonstrated something amazing and unique about the MMA game. We had a great striker vs. grappler fight with Lashley and Kimbo, we had the best wrestling match we've ever seen with Hughes vs. Askren, and we had a brilliantly technical display in the Le-Machida fight. Overall, we're very pleased and impressed with everyone. I had a great night, and I hope you all did too. It was Zenith - no one advances along the FiD list at Zenith.  Post-event questions, comments, or concerns? |

Despite having a brand new account, and only 2 posts, would you say this is the best Zenith we've ever had here at ManMMA?

It had everything, from upsets, to wrestling, to clinching, to striking. It was the total package. Rarely does a card live up to the hype. With the exception of a select few sour grapers due to some results, I think pretty much everyone feels this way. Great finish to the season. |

With all 4 titles being sucessfully defended, and 3 new number one contenders, what title fight is looking the most promising coming up?

With all 4 titles being sucessfully defended, and 3 new number one contenders, what title fight is looking the most promising coming up? This is entirely subjective, and might change depending on your interest. But we have some great matchups coming up. Couture-Silva could be either a grappler vs. striker battle, or they could clinch. Both are exellent clinch fighters, so it will be interesting to see which way this goes. Cyborg-Carano - we've seen it before, we know what to expect from these two, everything except the result is common knowledge - this'll be a stand up war. Condit vs. Silva could be interesting, but if I'm being honest, I think Condit needs to step up his game if he wants a serious crack at the belt. Both have good stand up, but Wanderlei's is great, whereas Condit could use some work. And at lightweight, we get to see the possible resurgence of Yves Edwards, in his battle with Joachim Hansen. It's exciting to have a new matchup, but I think we all know Yves has to elevate his game to go against one of the best P4P fighters on ManMMA in this title fight. Hopefully Yves maintains his high level game and consistency doesn't hurt him leading into this one. It has been a problem in the past. |

Really, though, that's sort of up to GAP, and the attitude they choose to bring to the table, and to their team. If I were a leader on that team, I would continue to look at things through the lens that works best for the team - The bigger picture. Sure, GAP lost out on a couple big fights at Zenith, but they have made the Grand Prix for the second straight year. GAP has established an identity as one of the few teams who is able to bring legitimacy to complete project fighters, with Chiesa & McGee, while maintaining a high level of elite fighters with Diego and Jones. When one looks at where Team GAP was 2 seasons ago, few teams have made the leap in quality as firmly as Team GAP. |

This is the first season that Anthony Pettis went winless (0-3). What does Pettis need to do to get back into the Top 10 in the lightweight division?
