Well deserved! Great job guys!

"That was not the fight of the night" It's weird that you guys keep saying this...no matter how many times I read the link, or what websites I check, they all say Jlau and Sots were FOTN and got an extra 80k.

100% correct.

They should all thank Matt Hughes for the additional 5 grand they got. Glad to see BJ showing so much respect to Hughes in the post fight interview on UFC.com...

Soto and lauzon deserve it in my opinion.

Good for Joe, a fun fight to watch. Personally, I thought that the Simpson/Munoz and Brown/Foster fights were both exciting and FOTN caliber, but don't see a problem with Joe/George getting it since it was such action packed.... I am a fan of seeing decisions get the FOTN for some reason, I think to really reward both guys for showing up and putting it out there (I realize neither Brown/Foster or Lauzon/Sots were decisions).

^ Lytle I think.And I agree, no way Joe should get 80k after gassing 3 minutes in, Dana should have just handed out two Sub of the nights.
