On the other hand I don't think it had anything to do with Kajan losing. Laprise fought a very strong fight. But having lost the fight it really crushed him. Quote:

Maybe if it were billed as a super-fight or some such but still, no belt or anything...hmm. |

Fight Night Brazil
Best fight night for a while imo. Francimar Barroso v. Hans Stringer. One of those fights where I couldn't really decide on who won. I gave the first round to Stringer and the second to Barroso, and couldn't make up my mind about the third. Kenny Robertson v. Thiago Perpetuo. Very impressed with the rear naked choke win for Roberston. He looked really agressive going after the sub. Jussier Formiga v. Scott Jorgensen. Another quick sub. Formiga took Jorgensens back quicker than a greased ferret for the rear naked. Thiago Santos v. Ronny Markes. Devestating liver kick followed by ground and pound. Excellent win for Santos. Goddofredo Pepey v. Noad Lahat. Within seconds of this starting I thought Pepey was going to have his lights put out. He was just so wild I thought he was sure to get caught with a well placed counter. Then he goes and pulls that incredible double flying knee out of the bag to get the KO and win. Amazing. Ronny Jason v. Steven Siler. The fourth first round finish in a row!!! I thought Siler was doing pretty well up to the point when Jason pulled out that overhand right. One of those moments where you can nearly see the cartoon birdies flying around his head. Tweet, tweet, tweet!!! Possibly stopped a bit quick as Siler - though stunned - did look like he was defending himself. Michel Prazeres v. Mairbek Taisumov. Very impressed with the strength of Prazeres. Those takedowns from the body lock were amazing. A good fight and win for Prazeres, though the fight was marred somewhat resulting from the point deductions against Taisumov for fence holding. Fabio Maldinado v. Gian Villante. What a fight!!! For me this was probably fight of the night. I thought Villante had it in the bag after the first where he pretty much smothered Maldinado on the ground. How wrong can you get. In the second and third Maldinado gave one of the best striking performances I've ever seen. Maybe "boxing" performance would be a better term. The jabs were just so precise, and the body punches were just rippers, and all put together in amazing combinations. I don't think I've ever seen a fight stopped by a ref while both fighters were on their feet - but I think that should have happened in this fight. Villante though on his feet right to the end was doing nothing that indicated "intelligent defense", and was getting rocked by heavy head shots left right and centre. Great win for Maldinado. Norman Parke v. Leonardo Santos. Too bad Parke got deducted a point for grabbing his opponent's shorts resulting in the draw. I was majorly impressed with his strength and cardio. His grappling was too much for Santos and he did some really nice dirty boxing inside the clinch - particularly in the second round. CB Dollaway v. Cezar Ferreira. Wow!!! Ferreira's opening barrage was so wild I thought he would get caught out, and this time I was right. Dollaway cleaned his clock in just 39 seconds. Dan Henderson v. Shogun Rua. Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! Hendo does it again. I really thought Rua had his number. Hendo looked a bit tentative in the first two rounds and Rua had him seriously hurt in both. But what a punch to end it in the third. Welcome back Hendo. Now there's a bit of a UFC drought. I don't think I'll be getting the fight night from Abu Dhabi - so that means my next MMA fix won't come until 17th April |

Just watched last weeks TUF Nations. Aussie Tayler Manowara fought Elias Theodorou. Probably one of the most boring ugliest fights I've ever seen.
On a brighter note I've just discovered that I will actually be getting the Abu Dhabi fight night on 11th after all (main event only). Strange - it's being broadcast here on ESPN - I was under the impression that the UFC had parted company with them for good when they moved to Fox Sports in the US and BT Sport in the UK. |

On the other hand Weidman vs. Machida sounds pretty tasty. Not a fan of Machida's style but I think Weidman just might have what it takes to open him up. Fight Night Abu Dhabi I thought the main card was really good. A lot of grappling/jiu-jitsu in all the fights except the main event. The Guida/Kawajiri fight was particularly good as it had a little bit of everything thrown in. Nelson - what can I say but WOW!!! I find it strange that all his opponents seem to want to stand and trade with him even though they know what is likely to happen if he connects with his right hand. I was amazed that Nogueira made no attempt at all to get him to the ground given his stellar BJJ credentials. Surprise of the night for me was to see a UFC ring girl in action and she wasn't wearing her burka. TUF Nations Finale April 17 Some interesting fights coming up on that card. Stout vs. Noons. In the prelims - should make for a great fight. I'm leaning towards Stout. Laprise vs. Aubin-Mercier. I'm going for Laprise if he can keep the fight off the ground, and Aubin-Mercier if he gets it to the floor. Westcott vs. Theodoru. I'm going for Westcott in this one. Bisping vs. Kennedy. Definetely think Bisiping has what it takes to beat Kennedy - but he hasn't been in a competitive fight for a year now. Without doubt Kennedy has the power to take out anyone if he connects. I'm a bit on the fence about this one. Haven't seen either Noke or Cote fight before so I have no idea how that might go down. |
