Five Lessons Learned from UFC Fight Night 134

UFC Fight Night 134 in Hamburg, Germany, has come and gone. It was not exactly appointment viewing, even on a Sunday without the National Football League in season. In fact, it was a long and bittersweet slough. However, that does not mean we can’t learn anything from it.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, a legend and indefatigable icon in the sport, got waxed in less than 90 seconds by Anthony Smith. The only thing that felt good about such a pitiable occurrence is the fact that it broke a spell of nine straight decisions on an otherwise forgettable card.
