UFC 107 after thoughts



That was my prediction video for the main event, I had quick picks for the rest of the card and before I got any further. I went 5/5 on the main card :).
To see my quick picks please visit this link:

Anyways lets talk about the main event Bj Penn vs Diego Sanchez First round, damn Herb Dean is a awesome referee half of the other referee's would have stopped it as Diego got seriously rocked and I wouldn't have blamed that referee for stopping the fight it looked like it could have ended any second. Other then the first round, everything else went the way I thought it would except for it being pretty one sided I really did think Diego would push the pace and land a lot of flurries also the doctors stoppage in the 5th round(Pretty damn close to a decision, like I called it). The superior stand up like I said played a huge role in this fight.

Diego showed great heart and I want to see him come back stronger then ever after this loss. BJ I don't want to see him fight Maynard or Diaz or even Edgar, Maynard is basically a wrestler and will get annihilated standing, Diaz has no power in his hands so his stand up won't even touch BJ and Diaz's main strength is his BJJ, Bj won't get submitted by Diaz. Edgar is like 2 fights for me to even call him a contender. Those 3 guys should fight Kenny and winner of that should get the next shot at BJ. Other then that BJ has cleaned out the division after destroying Sanchez. I think Bj should go back to welterweight to see what he can do. Him vs fitch, kos or even alves would be awesome.

Frank Mir vs Kongo was amazing. I watched the weigh ins Mir's size didn't really hit me but once he stepped into the octagon I was saying shit that guy is huge! Mir looked amazing rocked Kongo and then slipped in the choke to put Kongo to sleep. Anyone wanna see Mir vs Nog 2? Call me crazy but who is Kimbo Slice going to fight next? 205lbs or heavyweight or another lame catchweight? If I was UFC I would give Kongo, Kimbo. Kongo is a smaller heavyweight and all he has is a stand up. Its a good test for Kimbo. Even better if they can get Seth into the UFC set up some sort of rematch and save Kongo for later. Don't cut him from the UFC after this loss.

Florian vs Clay was just a shock, in my mind 100% I was thinking theres no way Clay is going to get finished but shit! Florian with his razor sharp elbows overwhelmed Clay. Florian definitely looked good and I would say hes 1 fight away for another shot at the title but in reality he might have to fight 2 more times.

Fitch vs Pierce was boring as shit. I always have been mad for UFC putting Fitch on the undercards but now I remember why his fights are there, his fights are boring. Hes a awesome fighter and brings a lot of trouble for a lot of fighters out there. But shit his style is boring to me.
I think Fitch needs to fight someone that can get him up the ladder. Pierce did nothing for him.

Paul vs Stefan was exciting, like I said best underdog bet on the card. This was fun to watch and it was a bit of a slugfest. This was my fight of the night for the main card. Stefan should fight another veteran, maybe Herring? I would let Stefan grow as a fighter more before throwing him into deep waters.

Thats basically my main thoughts a real good night of fights and we got a little bit of everything on this card for finish's. Great job for UFC making this card. I hope the other champs in the other divisions heal up fast.
