UFC 100 and my day

Well I decided to skip UFC 100 and catch the replay on the internet. Go watch the fights before you even read any further as im going to give my thoughts and they will contain spoilers.

So i skipped the fights because a few friends invited me too go to the Calgary stampede. Which is basically a rodeo with rides on the side for all those that don't know. I went there to see Bif Naked. My thoughts. It was really crowded. Really crowded. I was cold at first because I only wore a t-shirt but there was so many people around me I got warmed up and it felt like I was wearing a hoody. We got there 20 mins before she came out and yet we were about halfway from the stage. But some reason me and my friend Ryan advanced each 5 mins and got closer and closer as the clock ticked down.

One thing I was not impressed by was the amount of mary jane that was going around the stampede. Its a family event. I don't care if you smoke it outside of a bar but a public place where pregnet women and kids are is not the right place. The cops did thier best to control that but the amount of people was just to overwhelming.

Finally when Bif got on stage. we were about 1/4 to the stage but that tallest of tall people were in the very front. Lammmeee... We just stood there and could periodically only see her head. It was pretty lame. Then for some reason people started moshing. It was quite annoyying. As a wet... yes wet from sweat, Native american guy kept pushing me into my friend. Where did this mosh start? who the hell said I was going to mosh. Friggin idiot. I was tottally grossed out as everyone was wet. People even began to surf the crowd. The biggest perverts were in the crowd all the girls got groped as they went up.

Seriously I found it very offensive because once again its a family event.... I even saw a boob. Once again if it was at a concert. A real concert I would not complain but a family event and a boob pops out. Classy... Basically the whole time a wet guy was pushing me into my friend and I was like man I should have sat in the back these guys are friggin wet and annoying. I even fell down once as seriously someone goldberg tackled me.

Not to good. The rest of the stampede we just walked around. As none of my friends wanted togo on the rides, because their poor or afriad im not too sure which one it is.

I got home at around 12ish and then started finding the UFC 100 replay.

Im going to talk about the whole card in genereal. It sucked. For UFC 100 I was expecting to have my socks blown off. UFC 98 was way better.

So heres my break down. I started watching the Hendo vs Bisping fight first. It was a closer fight then I expected and I seriously thought it was going togo decision but My guy Hendo KOed Bisping it was a good start for me as it got me pumped up.

the 2nd fight I saw was the GSP vs Thiago fight. This for me put me to sleep. I seriously was watching from my bed and I closed my eyes in between rounds and found myself awakinging and seeing the same stuff. GSP taking Thiago down and working ground and pound. It wasn't lay and pray, but lets face it. it was boring to watch as Thiago did not have any answer for it. It would have been better if GSP could finish Thiago. But Thiago was way to strong, so he would power out and get back to his feet and GSp would take him down again. I don't care what you say. This was a boring fight. Anderson silva vs thales leites wasn't even this bad, because Silva was toying with Leites with messed up kicks.

the 3rd fight was the main event with lesnar and mir. By the time GSP fight wrapped out I was out cold due to boredom and the long ass intro to the fight didn't help either. I found myself missing the whole first round and only watching the 2nd round mid point to finish. I just saw Lesnar pin down Mir and finish him. It was lame.

the last fight was cut out but it was paulo thiago vs jon fitch and it had a amazing first round but the stream got cut out so I defineatly want to see that fight again.

All in and all it might have been my fatigue level but I really didn't get into tonights fights. it was boring. But I'm so happy Hendo shut Bispings cocky mouth. So glad.

UFC 100 prediction


A milestone in MMA. This event is stacked and no body that is even a avid fan should miss these upcoming fights! So here are my predictions on the main card and quick picks for the undercard.

Brock Lesnar Vs. Frank Mir
Lesnar is going to win this fight as he showed in the first fight he can take the fight to the ground. If the fight goes to the ground expect Lesnar to do his masterbation hammer fists on Mir's face. I know what your saying Mir's going to submit him again if he goes to the ground as Mir has more knowledge on the ground. But if you watched the Herring fight, Lesnar has more patience and is more wise now to rush things thats why he didn't go for the KO finish. Instead he went for the decision. I do belive this will be a exciting 3 round fight and if Lesnar does not get a TKO by then it will be Lesnar do lay and pray in the 4th and 5th round for a decision. Lets be honest if someone as big as lesnar can take you down and just lay on you. you cant do anything hes just to huge.

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Thiago Alves

GSP will just sneak away with a fight here. Stand up Alves is better. The thing GSp usaully has in his fights is physical power, but in this fight Alves will be the bigger fighter and im assuming the stronger fighter. The fight really comes down to the wrestling. If GSP can take Alves down he will win the fight in the decision. If Alves can shrug off the take downs. Alves will run through GSP. GSP for some reason performs his best when his opponent has amazing attributes in those areas, so thats why I predicit GSP will win. IF your making a online bet this is the underdog fight you would want to bet on as Alves has a legitimate chance to win thsi fight. Don't be surprised if you see GSP Koed.

Jon Fitch Vs. Paulo Thiago
Jon Fitch will win this fight. Thiago got lucky against Koscheck and got in a lucky punch against Koscheck who was head hunting only tring to show off his boxing skills and earn KO of the night not even utilizing his wrestling backround. Jon Fitch is a friggin machine if you seen his fights and even his fight against GSP he showed his heart even though he was getting decimated. Call me a nut hugger but I don't see any way Fitch can lose this.

Dan Henderson Vs. Michael Bisping
Henderson is going to win this fight. Because of these reasons
1. He has more experince against higher level opponenets.
2. He can take a punch(never been Koed) and he can throw a hell of a knock out punch.
3.his wrestling is outstanding.

Bisping is someone that the UK fans can cheer for and he became a star that way. He is not on par to Henderson. The only way he can win the fight is to keep the fight standing, which I find really hard to see as Matt hamil could take down Bisping and Henderson is a much better wrestler then Hamil. Theres no way Bisping can win this fight.

Yoshihiro Akiyama Vs. Alan Belcher
Akiyama is going to win this fight. He has more experience and by far has more tools to use in the cage. Alan who is the welcoming commity for all the new UFC entrants got lucky against Denis Kang. Kang killed Belcher everywhere but then got caught in a submission. Kang is in my top 10 in middleweights and Akiyama is also in my top 10. I can't see another lucky win that Belcher can pull out. Expect to see Akiyama show off his skills in this fight.

undercard quick picks
Mark Coleman Vs. Stephan Bonnar
Mac Danzig Vs. Jim Miller
Jon Jones Vs. Jake O'Brien
Dong Hyun Kim Vs. TJ Grant
CB Dollaway Vs. Tom Lawlor
Matt Grice Vs. Shannon Gugerty
