| | Last Saturday, I watched UFC 78 at Hurricanes. I'm a big fan of Hurricanes. They have happy hour (I guess it's really happy hours) on Saturdays until 7:30, and the waitresses are all really hot. Well with one exception, the waitress we had on Saturday wasn't that hot, but she's the only one thus far. I think Max and Grant will agree with me. Overall the fights were pretty good. The main event was a high energy fight. It was a close fight, but I'm surprised it was a split decision. Then again, I was surprised that Bisping won the fight against Matt Hamill. Maybe I'm biased, but I think if you can take a guy down at will and keep the stand-up battle a draw, you are the better fighter. The way it looks right now, I think Rashad Evans should fight Keith Jardine, and if Jardine dominates, he should get a shot at the title. Ed Herman shocked Joe Doerksen and the rest of the world with a nice left hook. He hadn't come close to knocking anyone out before then. Fight of the night was Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva. Like all of Alexander's fights, this one was quick. Silva took him to the ground, passed his guard (way too easily), and beat the shit out of him. I think Alexander learned that you can't knock everyone out. Still he'll be in the UFC for a long time, because none of his fights go longer than three minutes. I'd like to see him fight Keith Jardine again, and Chuck Liddell, and Wanderlei Silva, and because it'd be funny, I want to see him knock out Michael Bisping and Tito Ortiz. I'm trying out Fantasy UFC. It's not really fantasy UFC because you don't have a team or anything. Instead, you just pick the winner, winning method (e.g. submission or TKO), the round, and the minute. You get points for each on you guess correctly--even if you pick the wrong guy to win the fight. I'm not doing too bad. Out of about 14500 players I was ranked 72nd for UFC 77, and 84th for UCF 78. I was feeling pretty good about that, until I realized that when two players tie, they don't bump everyone else down. So there could have been 10,000 people tied for 60th place. I wont know exactly what place I'm in because they only show the people who are in the top 20. Top 20 get stuff like UFC jerseys and signed posters. If you want to try it out, you can join my league. It's free. Just let me know. As a matter of fact, if my league is the best (I'm still not quite sure how they determine that), we win something. |
