UFC 100 thoughts, part 1.

Well, I made several predictions, so now I'll talk about what actually happened. I have yet to watch the prelims, so I'll post part two after I see those.

Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir (chapter 2)

Ok, so I was entirely wrong. Lesnar's strategy for neutralizing Mir's BJJ was excellent. It's very scary to see someone as good off his back as Mir look as helpless as he did in that first round.

Lesnar post-fight was a disgrace. Treating a fighter as respectful and admirable as Frank Mir with such disrespect is highly offensive. At this point I have no idea who can take this guy out, but I hope they do it quickly and send him running. I have high hopes that a heavy handed striker such as Shane Carwin might be able to do this. I was quite impressed with the sportsmanship and commentary provided by Carwin on his blog entry about UFC 100.

Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves

I called for fourth round stoppage, but instead it went the distance. In my defense, had GSP not pulled his groin in the third round, he may well have finished Alves in the fourth. Alves is an amazing fighter who has torn through the ranks at 170 pounds, and then GSP totally destroyed him. The man is unreal. He is also the perfect picture of how a champion should act pre and post fight.

Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping

I called for an early third round KO of Bisping and instead he was knocked out mid-way through the second. Not a bad call, if I may say so myself. I don't approve of the follow through punch, but after the way Bisping acted I can certainly understand why Henderson did it.

Now he probably gets to fight for the title again. Silva will finish him. Again.

Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago

Fitch, as I called it. I was impressed with his control on the ground and his constant search for a submission.

In other news, I had a job interview yesterday. It went VERY well. The principal interviewed me, then took me straight to the superintendent for a second interview. At one point I answered a question and the prinicpal actually squealed and clapped her hands. :) So I have high hopes for that one.

VBS is next week. I feel very unprepared. But I think I should be ready by Monday. See y'all later!
