OH: UFC 142 Post-Fight Commentary From Fighters

Well, that was fun and exciting! UFC 142 turned out to be much better than that silly Broncos-Patriots game I had planned to watch. Thank goodness I decided to go ahead and get the fight card, too. Lots of fighters were watching it, as well, so check out what they were saying below. Be sure to read the extended entries at the bottom from Jason High and Derek Brunson - they had a lot of fun things to say. Also, the UFC has confirmed that Erick Silva will indeed get his win bonus.
