It wasn't unbelievably horrible, but the main event was pretty bad. Julius Francis was completely outclassed by Turner, Turner ended the fight by some kind of choke, looked like Julius just gave up. Vitor Belfort was rather lackluster, but Zikic had zero takedown defense. He had no sprawl and just went down at will. Daley was being dominated by Weir until Daley landed a huge head kick/punch combination, and then later landed a stiff left hook that dropped Weir. Jean Silva won with some impressive submission escapes and ground and pound. He was able to mount Brennan a number of times and kneed Brennan, giving him a nasty cut, that dropped Brennan early.

The production of Cage Rage needs a ton of work. They had too many strippers running around, and it was more like a rave on acid than an actual MMA promotion. EliteXC needs to send their team over there and class it up a bit. Quadros wasn't bad at all, he actually was a voice of reason during the fights as far as judging went.
