UFC 99 Review(with stream)

Watch live video from UFC 99: The Comeback on Justin.tv




Heres a stream that I found and they told me they were going to keep replaying it a few times so enjoy it while you can. Below is my review so don't read further or else it will be a spoil!










Well the ppv is over as it was broadcasted in Germany. I watched it on Ustream. It was a decent night of fights no way near what ufc98 was but it was fun.

To review the fights I had money on.
Cheick Kongo Vs. Cain Velasquez
I really didn't think it was going to go to a decision as Cain has proven himself in his past other fights he has the power to knock people out. But it didn't happen he was throwing lesnar punches. Which are punches thrown but they do next to nothing in damage. The fight clearly showed that Kongo had a superior stand up and Cain and the ground game. I was actually scared when the fight was standing up. As Cain got rocked 2 times in the first and 2nd round. But I knew Once the fight got on the ground it was over. Kongo had nothing to answer the ground game. I was excited throughout the whole fight because I had money on it. But it could have been a snooze fest and it was a bit of a lay and pray as Cain's punchs didnt do damage.

Rich Franklin Vs. Wanderlei Silva
The kid that I had betted on didn't get back to me so I had no money riding on this fight but still would like to give my thoughts on it. Again another decision which I was surprised about. 2 fighters that said they weren't going to take each other down and just have a stand up war, didn't really follow through. Rich clearly had more technical boxing and surpisingly Wanderlei was throwing kicks and even threw a knee. I would have loved to see a muay thai clinch with knees but it didn't happen. I was really impressed at how Wanderlei fought. He was fighting smart, keeping his hands up and still at points fighting the "classic wanderlei style" The only thing I hated about how this fight ended was the judges. It should have been a split decision as I gave the 2nd round to Wanderlei. Which is B/S. Still it was fun to watch. I give this fight, fight of the night. Expect me to post a video of this once I find it.
