UFC 130 Recap: Rampage, Hamill and Roy Nelson’s Belly

A packed MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada witnessed an action packed card featuring the UFC’s elite Light-Heavyweights.

Some others want to judge rankings on more of a “whom would beat whom” basis. Personally I don’t abide by that philosophy, but certain folks do and the endgame is always in one way or another “agree to disagree”.
