3. The third round of Romero vs. Costa was the most exciting round in that fight; Romero doing the Cuban version of the drunken master fighting style was definitely entertaining.
2. I think Diaz had a bit of rust to shake off in that first round against Pettis, and he looked noticeably slower compared to say his performance against Johnson, which could be attributed to age/weight/rust. And while Diaz' knees and elbows were nice to see, the grappling between him and Pettis was so fun to watch, it reminded me a lot of Nick Diaz vs. Karo Parisyan (which is one of my favorite fights).

1. Regarding Cormier vs. Miocic, this is what I said prior to the fight starting:
But then:
Miocic spamming those beautiful body shots in that fourth round, after losing the last three, before managing to get the finish was probably my favorite moment of the PPV.

After Cormier's first eye poke and his subsequent pawing at Miocic's face for the next three rounds, I wanted Miocic to win, because I'm not a fan of cheating and there would've been controversy (again) had Cormier won.I don't care who wins, I just hope it's without controversy.
But then:
While I thought Cormier was eating a lot of punches unnecessarily, I didn't see how Miocic was going to pull off the win, and then he landed a very nice body shot. A part of me thought back to how weak Cormier's been to strikes to the body in the past, but thought it had more to do with him cutting too much weight at Light Heavyweight (I was later reminded by a fellow Sherdogger that Mir had hurt Cormier with a body shot). When Miocic landed the second body shot I found myself saying: "those are working".3-0 Cormier, he stole it in the last minute.

I'm not a Jon Jones fan, so don't even bother trying to label me as some Cormier hater.
