I just think CC wanted a HL finish and he got it, just not the one he wanted.

My thoughts exactly, plus the added effects of Cro Cop (and other former Pride HW's) getting used to the cage is the only problem here... I can't see the fighters being nervous to fight for the UFC crowd, as the Pride audience was always several times larger than those typical at UFC events, but I guess knowing that the fans are going to boo if you're not throwing punches every second
can work the nerves a bit... Give them some time, the former Pride fighters will start performing up-to-par soon... I'm VERY interested to see how Nog fares for his first time in the octagon...
