OK, this "AA lost his killer instinct" stuff is pissing me off. He fought with exactly the same one-shot KO style he always does and had a few close attempts. The majority of Couture/Liddell 3 looked exactly the way rounds 2-3 of AA/Werdum went.
It boggles my mind that anyone thinks AA was just trying to outpoint Werdum rather than setting up a KO shot. Just look at his footwork and the shots he picks throughout the fight. It's pretty much the same thing as Rashad Evans when he fought Sean Salmon. The only difference is that AA wasn't able to land the shot he was looking for. It doesn't mean he wasn't trying. Hell, he came close a few times.
