Barao

Last night was one of those events were you just couldn’t stop shaking your head. UFC 149 in my eyes had the potential to be an above average fight card. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Top to bottom, it was pretty painful to watch. I honestly don’t ever remember thinking to myself, this card stinks. I had that pop into my head a few times.

The main and co-main event were complete busts. For a card that had a ton of fighters pull out due to injury, I thought the UFC still did a great job lining up a solid night for mixed martial arts fans all over the world.

Urijah

UFC 149 is going to take place tonight in Calgary, Alberta, Canada but there will be a lot of fighters that were set to be on this card that are not. Injuries are a huge part of the fight game but never like this. UFC President Dana White has called it the most injured riddled event in the sport’s history.  Jose Aldo was set to fight in the main event and he was injured. Also forced off of the card were Michael Bisping,  Shogun Rua, Thiago Alves, and Thiago Silva.

All of the injures forced the UFC to take a co-headliner from UFC 148 and move it to 149 to be the main event. That fight will be for the interim bantamweight title. Dominick Cruz is the current champ but recently tore his ACL so he’s on the shelf. Urijah Faber and Renan Barao will square off to see who fights Cruz when he returns.

TitoUFC 148 took place last night in Las Vegas and the morning after I’m still shaking my head at what went down in the two main fights. We saw the possible end of the biggest feud in mixed martial arts and the final chapter in one of the best careers of all time.

The main event was for the middleweight title and a lot of pride. Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen truly disliked each other. They have bad mouthed each other for months leading up to the fight. Silva said he wanted to end Sonnen’s career and hurt him, and hurt him bad.

Many UFCs have come and gone and we are now getting ready for UFC 148 tonight live from Las Vegas. It’s no secret that I get pumped up for every event but this one is going to be different.  Tonight could possibly be the biggest night in the history of The Ultimate Fighting Championship. The best mixed martial arts fighter in the world will be defending his belt against a guy he hates and wants to hurt.

 

Anderson Silva versus Chael Sonnen part two. Wow. I’m getting goosebumps thinking about it. The middleweight championship is up for grabs and Sonnen claims to be the rightful owner of the crown, but he’s not.

Bellator-66-PosterBellator Fighting Championships brought their top class mixed martial organization to the IX Center last night for a top notch card. There was a lot of top local fighters represented and they came close to filling up all the seats. What seems to always happen to Cleveland fans happened again as most of the home town fighters were beat.

The top local fighter on the bill, Brian Rogers was stunned in the middleweight tournament after having his way for most of the fight. Andreas Spang, a late injury replacement stunned the Cleveland crowd when he landed a picture perfect left hook that sent Rogers down and out in the second round.
