UFC 144 is in the book and we have ourselves a new lightweight champion of the world. It was a great night of mixed martial arts action capped off by a dominating performance in the main event.

Benson Henderson dominated Frankie Edgar over five rounds and twenty five minutes to become the new title holder in the 155 pound division.

Henderson was the bigger, stronger, more skilled fighter in every area and used great striking and phenomenal take down defense to take the belt from Edgar. Benson had an answer for everything Frankie tried to do. The scores were 49-46(twice) and 48-47 and I honestly would have had a hard time giving Edgar one round out of the five.

Live tonight at 10pm on the east coast UFC 144 takes place in Saitama, Japan. Due to the time difference the fights will be actually be happening  on Sunday morning at the Saitama Super Arena. 

Two fights on the card have me jumping for joy. I believe when it’s all said and done, Ben Henderson versus Frankie Edgar and also Joe Lauzon versus Anthony Pettis will be fight of the year candidates. All four of the fighters have extremely well rounded games, like to entertain fans with their exciting styles, and always come prepared. It just so happens that both fights will be in the 155 pound division, the deepest in the UFC.

The second UFC on FOX went down last night and the two main fights went according to plan. That is the UFC’s plan for upcoming fights that the fans will want to see. The more cards the UFC holds, the more questionable decisions we are going to see, and in my opinion we saw a terrible one in the co main event.

The fight in question is the Michael Bisping versus Chael Sonnen to determine who is next in line to contend for Anderson Silva’s middleweight belt.

Live tonight from Chicago, the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings us their second card to air on Fox. They have two great fights that will determine who is next in line for title shots in both the light heavyweight division and also the middleweight division. Two pay per view caliber contests, live on free TV, not much to dislike about that.

The main event will be former title holder Rashad Evans taking on undefeated top prospect Phil Davis. Both fighters have very similar backgrounds, great wrestling pedigree and striking that improves every time they step foot into the octagon.
