UFC 100

Well after counting down the days and then the hours UFC 100 has come and gone. It was the card everyone was talking about, but did it live up to all the hype? To me I don't think it reached all the hype, but it was still an amazing PPV.

First off the match that started the night: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alan " The Talent " Belcher. This was Akiyama's UFC debut, but he is no stranger to MMA. He fought in K-1, and DREAM. So this was my first time ever seeing him fight and I must say I was impressed. He took on Alan Belcher in a hell of a fight. It was a close battle in the first round, both showing great skills. As the fight progressed it got even better, plus seeing Belcher use the cage as a push off for his superman punch was quite the thing to see. But Belcher was not able to put Akiyama away, who remained tough as nails throught the fight. So time has expired and it comes to a descion. Lets jsut say Alan got robbed and Akiyama got a very lucky victory.

Next fight was the one I was looking very forawrd to and it was between the coaches of the Ultiamte Fighter, Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping. So of course I'm rooting for Henderson in this one, and let me tell you probably the greatest fight of the night. Bisping gets through the first round, but kept making a very risky mistake by circling into Henderson's massive right hand. He was lucky enough not to get tagged in round one. His corner preached to him not to circle into his right hand. Well round two is underway and eventually Bisping falls into that same trap, but this time there was no escape. Henderson connects and knocks Bisping to the ground and then puts the kabash on it with a diving punch. Wasn't surprised to see Henderson win, but how huge the K-O was did.

Alright next was the co-main event between GSP and Thaigo Alves. Surprisingly I wasn't that pumped for this one. I think I was just looking to forward to the real main event. Not a groundbreaking fight, but wasn't too bad. All you really need to know about this fight was that GSP plain out dominated. Don't get me wrong Alves is a great fighter, but GSP is just in his own league when it comes to the welterweight division. His takedowns were textbook and Alves had no answer for GSP. He won in a dominat unanimous descion, but did pull his groin in the process. I was surprised to see how he fought through it, its a very painful injury and I was just astonished, becuase you would never know if he didn't say anything. So GSP retains his title, and more talk comes around of him moving up to Middleweight.

Well here it is the fight I was waiting to see all night. Mir Vs Lesnar 2 was coming. I am a big Frank Mir fan, first off and was gunning for him the whole time. Mir looked great coming into this fight he looked amazing, and without a doubt the best shape I have ever seen him in. He looked confident, but at the same time still had that fan favoirte charm to him. Brock comes out and just looks like he is in is own world. After waiting they are brought to the center of the ring. Mir puts his hands out to hit, but Lesnar just walks away leaving Mir hanging, just the tip of how unsportsman he is going to be tonight. The fight begins and they feel each other out, but eventually the fight goes to the ground. Lesnar locks Mir down, and it begins. He punches Mir with so much force, it is actually hard to watch. Mir keeps giving the thumbs up sign to his corner signaling he is alright. The round is over and Mir is already looking like the fight is over. Round two starts and Mir thows some strikes that shake Lesnar up a little bit, but after trying to land a big knee he is brought to the ground and its round one all over again. He strikes Mir with even more force and Mir can't defend himself and the fight is over. Lesnar cheers himself on and then gets in Frank's face and yells something to the effect of "Who's talking shit now." He talks about how he is the best and how bud light won't sponsor him, so he is going to drink Coors light. He gives the crowd the finger and says he is going to get on top of his wife. Hey sounds like WWE? At this point I am just disgusted. It was hard to sleep that night, becuase I was just so angry, and the image of poor Frank in my mind.

Well after all that the fight between Jon Fitch and Paulo Thiago was here. Mostly a grappling fight, that had numerous submission attempts. Fitch looked great showing better striking and some great ground game. He picked up the win by descion, and moves his way up.
