Strikeforce MMA: Not rocking me like a hurricane so far

Silva-Verdune is, um, boring. Even Silva looked bored during a leg lock in the second round. The blow-by-blow announcer just called this an action-packed fight. The people booing in the crowd might disagree.

10:05PM UPDATE: So far, Jason Miller has embodied everything that keeps me from being an MMA fan. Are elaborate ring marches supposed to make the audience pray for the fighter to die in the octagon?

10:45PM UPDATE: Miller is not dead, and the fight didn't hold my interest enough for me to know if the judge's scores were bullshit or not. Him not winning the vacant title mean we'll see less of him, right? Yay.

11:06PM UPDATE: I think I see why this Fedor guy is considered so badass. He's been bleeding like a stuck pig since the first shot, fighting a bbigger, arguably stronger fighter in his home town [more or less] and yet he's never not been the most dangerous agent in the ring.

11:10PM UPDATE: No, they did not just cut to a local commercial in the middle of a round. Yes they did. Awfully nice of them to cut back to the fight before Fedor knocked Rogers out.

11:14PM UPDATE: What's the deal with the periodic audio dropouts in this telecast? Is that when somewhere swears within range of a live mic and they have to dump the feed for a few seconds?
