UFC 94

So I just got back from the bar. Full from the Wendy's after and half intoxicated....

Anyways this UFC overall was alright. There weren't any spectacular knockouts or submissions but it was well worth the watch compared to the Franklin vs Henderson fight. But anyways the fights I put money on (GSP vs Penn and Machida vs Silva) both of my guys won. Both of the fights were one sided.

But I was really surprised at the Machida fight, as Machida was the one giving out the punishment. After Silvas's brief aggression at the fight. Machida knocked him down once. I was very surprised as I could not see Silva getting knocked down. But thats what happend. After the first knock down, I was surprised at Silva getting knocked down but not for Machida not finsihing. Machida is not a finisher. But he proved me wrong in this fight. At the diying seconds of the first round Machida hit Silva right on the button. And then pounced on him from gaurd and gave him a stiff jab right to the jaw and another punch right at the bell. I thought of it as nothing as first and was expecting a second round. Until the ref waved the fight as over. I was totally shocked, I totally thought this was going togo to the decision with Machida winning. But this is was makes MMA so great to watch, you can never expect the unexpected.

The main event was next with GSP vs Penn. When I made the video I already talked about the strengths and weakness I saw in both fighers, I knew after the 2nd and 3rd round Bj was done if he could not submit GSP. But I could not say I would have imagine one of the top 5 pound for pound guys in the world get controlled like he did. GSP totally destroyed Penn. On the standup and on ground. The standup I really did though Bj had the advantage but nothing came from it except a few good combinations/jabs. I could not tell what happend after the 4th round. I just assumed BJ was gassed out and could not continue(He was gassed in the diying seconds of the 2nd round) But I heard his nose was broken! GSP Rocks!

The bar I was at was in Calgary you could only imagine how loud it got as a fellow Canadian won. It was ridiciouls and usaully I would frown upon loud crowds as it took away from my experince from watching the event, but this time maybe it was the cash at stake but it got me pumped up.

I hoped everyone got to see the UFC event. Overall its really worth the watch but if your into real exciting finishes this may not be the fight for you as pretty much every fight ended in a decision.

$80 richer MrISIB! hahaha
