i genuinely suck at keeping up with this ughhhhhh sorry this semester has been completely exhausting

anyways

chael and bones will fight again in my opinion, if sonnen succeeds in beating old wandy

Jon Jones OUT, BJ Penn IN

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:03:05 -0400

So, I believe that Chael Sonnen has nothing to worry about now that he is fighting BJ Penn who is stepping in for Jonny Bones due to injury.

Cannot wait.

i am really sorry about being negligent with this blog. i hope to pay more attention to it, but i’ve been so busy! work, school, rehearsals, shows, more schoolwork. ridiculous.

i really want to watch GSP fight tonight! don’t know if i’ll be able to catch it though :(

y'all

post surgery//in recovery and coming back to school, my life has been so busy!

but, i am catching the last few fights of ufc on fox!

so,

Sun, 30 Dec 2012 18:17:25 -0500

I had surgery almost two weeks ago, haven’t been able to really do too much on the internet. (I’m fine though, it was out patient!)

I didn’t get to go watch UFC last night:(

But I found out that Cain Velasquez won via decision, the belt is back in his possession I wonder if he’ll keep it for a long time again!

Seems like a lot of fights went to the judges last night.

UFC on Fox! (live-blogging)

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:35:21 -0500

Currently watching, for once!

Didn’t get to see any of the bouts on FX because I had my last final exam to take. Now that I’m on break for a month, I will actually get to keep this blog somewhat relevant.

Beautiful KO by Matt Brown (defeated Mike Swick), he dropped him too quick! It was LIGHTS OUT.

Preview for Velasquez vs Dos Santos II is on, and I just got so hype, y’all. Saturday Dec 29th, PPV. That should be interesting.

Lolz guise, come on, let’s say PRO-DIG-Y right!

Let’s see if BJ Penn still has it, he’s been in the game for a while, he’s still trying to prove himself relevant. I’m rooting for you BJ (except everytime you fight Mr. Edgar), I wanna see what ya got! Oh, okay, I see you, had to warm up a little bit? You’re letting Rory beat up on you BJ, come on now! BJ you’re done bro……or not…your stumbling has confused everyone. If this goes to decision, you just lost bud. There’s a good connection, keep it up. Will this even go to the third round, BJ is done…I LIED. Damn, he’s still going, he’s ducking out, but going. And round 3, BJ has proved that he’s stronger than we think. Well, BJ, if you don’t do something quick, it’s going to decision and you lost. BJ, he threw his hands down giving you enough time to get him…really? Over.

I see you trying to challenge Carlos Condit, Rory MacDonald.

I don’t know about y’all, but when UFC uses slow motion it cracks me up.

I don’t know how I feel about women fighting. I mean, I think it’s dope, because us women should be equals, but, I don’t know if I’d want to watch them as a headlining event.

Shogun Rua vs Alexander Gustaffson- I’d like to see Rua take the win. Well, I seem to speak soon, Shogun tripped, but recovered with holding and a knee to Alexander’s face. Get your fingers off that fence, Alexander! Points off, ref, why aren’t you saying something?! Finish the fight strong, Shogun! You’re getting your ass beat. What’s up with these older fighters tonight?! Damn, that was a good kick by Alexander though. And Alexander Gustaffson won, obviously.

I want to see Urijah fight again and win……and the people are so awkward behind Jonny Bones.

Let’s get to the main event yo, before Fox changes the programming.

Nate Diaz vs Benson Henderson- let’s get it poppin! Dramatic walk outs and ALL! Nate has a 6 inch reach advantage, wonder if he will use it to his advantage. Benson looks way more built/toned, but Diaz is in the clinch. OOh, is Diaz sayin come at me bro while on his back?! It’s just back and forth now. Benson in a split! haha. 4th round leggo boys. And now the 5th. Been meaning to live blog it way better than this, but, when you get drunk texts from your boy it’s a bit distracting. As of right now, I don’t see the belt changing. Didn’t change.

of course the one fight night i REALLY WANNA SEE isn’t playing across the street from...

of course the one fight night i REALLY WANNA SEE isn’t playing across the street from me….gotta love college football!

I'm so bad at keeping up this semester.

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:10:43 -0500

Including internet problems, loads of schoolwork, rehearsals, and all that jazz….

Finally got a moment to look at upcoming fight cards, just freaked out slightly.

So excited.

Dos Santos and Velasquez are going at it again for the belt (Dec 29)

GSP is coming back and going after Condit (Nov 17)

UFC on Fox is stacked (Dec 8)

Didn't get to see UFC 153, but,

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:58:27 -0400

the results are what I expected.

Wins from: Anderson Silva, Noguiera, Fitch, Davis and Maia

Knockout in the first round from Silva, not surprised, yet again.

Wish I could’ve watched. My school had a really big home football game and the local sports bars were not playing anything but that, as well as the game was still happening at the same time UFC came on.

So sorry

Sat, 29 Sep 2012 19:45:28 -0400

I’ve been caught up with school and rehearsals lately, I don’t mean to neglect this blog :(

I’m about to do a big post on things right quick.

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:29:26 -0400

Please keep everyone that’s been affected by Hurricane Isaac already and those that are in it’s path in your thoughts!

probably won’t be able to post for a bit once the storm hits. sorry y’all!

Hey guys,

Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:36:49 -0400

Just finished with my first week of school (2nd year hollaaaa, and no friday classes) and see that UFC 151 is canceled.

Jon Jones turned down fighting Chael Sonnen (which would be an interesting fight), and I think that’s kind of childish in my opinion, a fight is a fight, you’ll get to fight your original contender (Dan Henderson) once he’s healthy to fight. Maybe he’s scared? Hmm.

So, hopefully, I’ll be able to post more with everything going on!

so,

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:05:21 -0400

there was definitely a PPV on tonight.

i worked 8.30 am-6pm this past week, and today was spent packing. if i get some time tomorrow in between packing, cleaning and getting ready to go back to school, i’ll try to look at the results and comment on it. if not, once i get settled into school and have some downtime- then.

this is me apologizing in advance for slacking for probably the next week, i won’t have much computer time till friday.

I watched UFC on Fox last night

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:51:11 -0400

Didn’t post about it before hand cause I’ve been doing things around the house/getting ready to go back to school in a week/we have company.

BUT, HERE’S MY THOUGHTS:

Mike Swick was too clutch with those punches on DeMarques Johnson, I called it when I saw the KO that he would be getting the ‘knockout of the night’ title.

Joe Lauzon got Jamie Varner with that triangle choke, I had expectations for Lauzon, there were some good hits in this fight, and I knew Varner was going to tap because the hold was good.

Lyoto Machida turned the lights out on Ryan Bader, I knew this would be a good match up because both of these fighters are great, and I enjoy watching them fight. It was interesting to watch each fighters demeanor, and how they carried themselves during the bout. Bader sort of trip-slipped when trying to come at Machida, which turned out to be bad news for him- Machida didn’t hesitate to knock him out.

(Mauricio) Shogun Rua took a while to get Brandon Vera (who if y’all don’t know, is REAL TALL) out, but he got him with a TKO. Rua was dominant 98% of the fight, and Brandon Vera had some good moments, but obviously it wasn’t enough to stop Rua. I’m pretty sure the last time I saw Brandon Vera fight was when Jon Jones broke his nose real badly, I don’t remember if I saw him in more recent ones or not.

—-

So, I’m also looking at upcoming fight cards,

none are as stacked as I’d like them to be, but what can you do, there’s only so many fights/events scheduled for the remainder of 2012. (I mean, there can be changes and injuries, but still). I think 2013 will deliver some very stacked cards and feature some people who were notable in 2012.

I’ve been waiting to see GSP fight again for a while now (haven’t we all?!) and if all goes according to plan, his fight night will be one of the last ones of 2012 (late november).

Will we see anyone challenge Anderson Silva for the belt? Only one who has come close was Chael Sonnen, and they’re not going to do a third fight. I say they hold interim fights for the belt that will be theirs once The Spider retires.

And so on and so forth, I’ll try to post some more random MMA/UFC things throughout this week (and then I won’t be able to until I’m all settled in at school…warning y’all now…)

and UFC 149/other MMA news~

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 23:13:09 -0400

Like I said, I didn’t watch UFC 149, my friend texted me updates prelims-main card while i was at a MLB game.

Looking at the results, it seems like a night of decisions, few submissions, and few knockouts. I don’t have much to say other than I’d probably really disappointed if I watched the card…I really don’t even want to comment on it, other than the 7 second knock out, better look out for Jimmo- up and coming.

After reading lots of articles and posts, here’s what I think/FOUND

-Dana White is getting frustrated with the refs. “It’s the ref’s job to protect the fighters, making the right calls, and making sure they fight.” Which apparently, last Saturday, some refs were not doing.

-The prelim card delivered, the main card did not- unfortunate to those who ordered it PPV, embarrassing for Dana.

-What’s going on with Urijah Faber….

-Dana White believes that Chael Sonnen has some big fights left before he walks away from the sport (and, he’s the only one to ever challenge Anderson Silva)

-Chael may change weight classes

-Rampage days in the UFC are coming to a close

-Anderson Silva— WHAT’S NEXT?!

UFC 149-

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 00:24:01 -0400

Hey y’all!

I’m so sorry that I didn’t get around to posting about this fight card….I’ve been working and driving and doing errands all week and really haven’t been online as much as I’d like.

I went to an MLB game tonight, so I didn’t get to watch the fights. BUT, my friend, has been texting me updates from the prelims-now, I’ll go through and talk about what he says/when I see results come up online after.

sorry!

post-UFC 148

Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:41:55 -0400

What a night!

Bantamweights: Mike Easton defeated Ivan Menjvar by unanimous decision…I was slightly bored for a while, and it was obvious who won the fight. I expect to see Mike Easton as an up and coming fighter.

Featherweights: Chad Mendes defeated Cody McKenzie via TKO (punches)…quick fight! Cody McKenzie to me looked like he needs to bulk up a little more, he just seemed weak and I somewhat expected more from him.

Welterweights: Demian Maia defeated Dong Hyun Kim via TKO (painful looking injury)…that was a painful looking knock-out…the way Kim landed on the mat (almost face first into the fence) and got his rib(s) injured in the process made this fight end quickly. Even Maia said he thinks that Kim landed funny!

Middleweights: Cung Le defeated Patrick Cote via unanimous decision…for a 40 year old to fight for 15 minutes, props! This was the bloodiest fight of the night (on the main card, in my opinion).

Light Heavyweight: Forrest Griffin defeated Tito Ortiz via unanimous decision…Tito Ortiz, hall of famer, who went from glory days to almost washed up, made a comeback and then, unfortunately, RETIRED with a loss, but, he made the fight go the distance and ROCKED Forrest multiple times! I think if Ortiz had taken advantage of the moments where Forrest was stumbling/had been rocked pretty hard quick enough, maybe the odds would’ve been more in Ortiz’s favor. I think that Forrest storming out of the Octagon after the 3rd round was really unprofessional of him, but, I’m glad he came back and paid his respects to Tito Ortiz.

Middleweights: Anderson Silva defeated Chael Sonnen via TKO (strikes)…I was so nervous for this fight. The moment I’ve been waiting almost 2 years for finally was here. Chael wasted no time in getting Anderson to the ground for some ground and pound, but I wished that Chael had thrown more hard hitting and destructive blows while he had control and opportunity to do so, to set Anderson back, or even knock him out! Anderson wasn’t even phased, which was crazy. Anderson got to Chael in the second round, and Chael staying on the ground rather than getting up quickly was what led to the knock-out, otherwise, I feel that this fight would’ve gone on longer, and maybe we would’ve seen a new middleweight champion of the world. But for now, Anderson remains the best in the world, and there’s no denying that. I don’t know how many fights Anderson has left, cause no one can beat him. (So, although, this was the only rematch that we’ve wanted to see Anderson in, Chael can still be considered one of the best and has had Anderson on his back for now, 5 rounds).

I think once Anderson retires (which will probably be in the foreseeable future, still undefeated), Dana will pick contenders whom he thinks should become the new middleweight champion of the world, and whomever wins, has the belt until he is challenged in the next title fight.

I’d like to see Chael Sonnen contend for the belt, he still has a good amount of time in the UFC. Also, I admire the professionalism of Anderson Silva at the post-fight interview in the Octagon, making peace with Chael and encouraging his fans to do the same. BBQ at the spider’s house! Chael is VIP!

UFC 148

Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:14:52 -0400

So, of course my laptop decides to have internet connection problems the past few days…I took it to geek squad today. Hopefully it’ll work better now, if not, back to geek squad.

And, the sports bar I go to was full. So, I’m splitting the PPV cost with my dad…its 54.95 for anyone who is curious/ever wants to order UFC PPV!

UPDATE for UFC 148/9

Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:47:57 -0400

Most current fight card (I don’t think it will change unless anything happens last minute and it absolutely HAS to be changed) for UFC 148 (PPV, this Saturday, the 7th):

MAIN CARD:

Ivan Menjivar vs Mike Easton
Chad Mendes vs Cody McKenzie
Dong Hyun Kim vs Demian Maia
Cung Le vs Patrick Cote
Forrest Griffin vs Tito Ortiz
Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva (II)

This is a fight card worth watching. Urijah Faber is no longer on the card, but will be fighting in UFC 149 on Saturday July 21st, which is a PPV, which he is HEADLINING.

I will go into details about the Main Card for UFC 148 in another post before the night of the fight! (And post my reactions afterwards, cause I have been planning for MONTHS to go see this!)

there are changes to a lot of the upcoming fight cards

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:33:00 -0400

And I will make an updated post later on tonight or sometime tomorrow about it!

Oh, and the trash talking between Silva and Sonnen has begun!
