Hindsight - UFC 191: Johnson vs. Dodson in retrospect

Depending on the fan and depending on the fight, your excitement mileage may vary. From a pure action standpoint, things really peaked on the undercard when John Lineker and Francisco Rivera decided to throw all the hands at one another. After that, just about everything else paled a bit in comparison. Demetrious Johnson put on another consummate and technically brilliant performance that once again failed to ignite any interest in him outside his already devoted fanbase. Just what that means for the UFC's future plans for him and for his own fighting career is anyone's guess, but it certainly feels like something has to be done to acknowledge that he's really not a fighter made for carrying PPV cards.
