For as hyped as it was I was pretty disappointed overall. Most of the fighters were extremely cautious..

Northcutt showed a lot of heart as he was basically armbarred but gutted it out to escape. At 20 years old he has a lot of potential.
Cain looked good again. At one point of never thought he would lose then injuries derailed him. If he gets healthy I can see him holding the title for a while.
The edgar/Aldo fight was pretty poor. Edgar hopped around like an idiot while Aldo jabbed him to death...
The DC / Silva fight was a joke. Silva had not even been in training. Surprisingly Silva looked very good standing up, but DC literally just laid on him for 90% of the match. Silva was content just to play defense which I can't blame him, but DC should have tried to do more or should not have taken the fight.
Lesnar looked good especially for having a 4-5 year lay off. Hunt is one dimensional, but Lesnars biggest problem was crumbling after being hit. He seens to have fixed that a bit. On a side note Hunt is a tough dude. Lesnar was pounding him pretty good, but couldn't put hunt away.
The women's division seems to be a merry go round of who gets the belt next. Nunes destroyed Tate...without rousey in the mix seems there is no one capable of holding the belt in that division unless Cyborg droos weight and rousey comes back.
 
On a side note I was impressed with Lesnar after the win. Usually he is a total meat head / jock, but he was extremely humble, gracious, and even appeared to choke up. He thanked the servicemen and also said the whole nation all nationalities need to stand together.
I also believe nate Diaz has to be one of the dumbest people in sports. His interviews are terrible unless he is high / drunk all the time.
 
I rarely watch UFC, but I did catch the last two fights. Lesnar did look pretty good after such a long layoff and I am right with you on Hunt, he took some shots and hung in there. I know Tate had the belt, but did anyone even think she had a chance at winning? After seeing the two next to each other in the ring, it just looked like it was going to end very badly for Tate.
