If anyone reads this today, tonight there is free UFC on Spike TV starting at 9PM. Check it out, good shit. And let me tell you why its good shit. On any UFC card, be it pay-per-view or like tonight, (FREEBIE!!) you will see 5 to 6 fights on the televised main card. Additionally, since MMA can be unpredictable, depending on the outcome of the undercard fights (another 4 to 5 fights), you might get to see some additional fights. Good bang for your buck, if you like to watch people kick the shit out of each other. MMA is so unlike boxing, which sucks ass nowadays. On any boxing card, you have like 3 maybe 4 fights. Nobody knows or cares about the undercard or who's fighting in it and these days even the main card sucks. MMA rocks.
I'll give you a quick breakdown on which fights to watch, if you're interested.
#1 - Main event Diego 'The Nightmare" Sanchez vs. Joe "Daddy" Stevenson
in the lightweight division (155 lbs)
The Nightmare is the real deal. This guy is awesome. Great ju-jitsu, good wrestling, superior stamina and vastly improved boxing. I've seen him whoop some serious ass. He's 21 & 2. His 2 losses went the distance and he didn't get his ass kicked in either one. The only thing is he normally fights at welterweight (170lbs) and he's dropping weight, almost 20 lbs.
Joe "Daddy" is a really good lightweight with tons of experience (he's been fighting for like 15 years) who also has really good ju-jitsu, good ground & pound and a nasty guillotine choke. His record is 34-9. One of his drawbacks is he's kind of short, which hurts his boxing. Unfortunately for him, his last 2 fights have been losses where he tapped out to a rear naked choke in both fights. And in both fights, he was fighting top flight guys, the current lightweight champ BJ Penn and the #1 contender to the title, Kenny Florian.
Prediction: The Nightmare by submission sometime in round 3.
#2 - Nate "The Great" Marquardt vs. Wilson Gouveia
The Great is a well rounded fighter who was King of Pancrase 7 times. Pancrase is some mma japanese org that held tournaments and well, the results speak for themselves. The Great is one of the best middleweights in the world. But, he got smoked by the best middleweight in the world, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, a year and a half ago. He is trying to get a rematch.
Wilson Goveia is another well rounded fighter who has a good record and is on a roll since he dropped down in weight from light heavyweight (205lbs). This guy throws bombs and he usually wins that way. His weakness is suspect stamina, which in MMA if you don't have, you will lose. Supposedly, his stamina is up to par now. We'll see tonight. The winner of this fight will be a contender to The Spider's crown.
Prediction: The Great by submission in sometime in round 2
#3 - Damein Maia vs. Chael Sonnen
This is a good match-up. Maia is a ju-jitsu master who has submitted all 5 of his oppenents in the UFC. This guy is a gentlemen but don't get into an MMA ring with him, he'll submit your ass. This is going to be a good test for him.
Chael Sonnen is a guy who fought in the UFC years ago and was let go after going 1-2, I believe. Regardless, in his last 2 fights, he whooped this guy twice who was considered the 2nd best middleweight (Paulo Filho) in the world, although Filho now seems to be a fucking headcase. Sonnens strength is in wrestling and he has trained with the best for years. This is a good fight. The winner of this fight is also going to be considered as a contender to The Spider's crown
Prediction: Maia by submission in round 2.
The other 2 fights are good as well but I don't have time to bore you with the details. But if you're interested, just check it out. Funny, the 3 fights I mentioned here are the 3 fights they're promoting on the UFC website. I know my MMA. I'm stoked. I had the shittiest week at work (which will be my ex-job very soon, future post) and I get to have some free entertainment tonight. Anyway, have a nice weekend bitches. Club 420 beckons and I'm on my 3rd beer..... and its noon. Yeah, baby!!!!
Until next time, peace. I'm out....
