Watched UFC 83 last night.
Best fights were GSP/Serra II, Goulet/Hironaka, MacDonald/Doerksen and Bisping/McCarthy.

Ricardo Almeida VS Patrick Cote, UFC 86.
- I watched this fight on two levels, the first, a brilliant tactic chess match in which you pit the strengths of a grappler against a striker and see who comes out on top, nullifying the other. The other, seemingly uneducated level, meant that this fight was as boring as hell and deriative.

Watched UFC 40 on DVD, which was fantastic. Ortiz/Shamrock I was great, as was the rest of the card, especially Liddell's and Hughes' performances.

Watched UFC 41 on DVD, which was okay.
Was impressed by Matt Lindland's performance, but couldn't fathom how the LW title fight was classed a draw. Oh well...

Quite a bit of UFC over the last couple of days, anything to get my mind over the terrible floods in QLD...
UFC 103 on ONE HD; fights I'd seen before but still good, in their own way, especially performances from Tyson Griffin, JDS and Vitor Belfort.
UFC 42 on DVD; a strange release without Goldberg on commentary, though Baroni and Rogan did okay. Some good fights here, especially the main event of Hughes/Sherk, Spratt/Lawler and Franklin/Tanner.

Watched UFC 43 on DVD, which was pretty good, despite Sims's performance and Lindland knocking himself out.
Couture/Liddell was good, but not as good as I thought it would be.

Any need for you to multiple post? Surely you can just edit your last one if nobody else has put anything...
Last fight I watched was Lyoto Machida/Thiago Silva from UFC 94. Good fight, Lyoto controlled everything though. Stayed elusive, got hit like twice with leg kicks and that's it. Dropped Silva twice, then hit a lovely foot-sweep with like 3 seconds to go in the round before getting the KO at 4:59 of the first round. Silva. Was. Out.
Took Lavigne a few seconds to notice he was out, but that's expected from Yves freaking Lavigne. The dude took 5 or 6 seconds to notice Marcus Davis was unconscious from that Nate Diaz guillotine at UFC 118.
Probably going to watch UFC 88 tonight. Evans/Liddell, Tavares/Pellegrino and Franklin/Hamill are great fights.

Sorry mate, as I'm watching them on different days I feel it necessitates a new post...I'd love it if someone else besides you and me was watching MMA and felt like recording it here, but beggars can't be choosers, eh?
Anyway, I watched Joe Riggs VS Luke Stewart, Strikeforce: Destruction, which wasn't bad, with good striking from Riggs and Stewart doing his best to fight off his back.

The last few have been:
Shinya Aoki vs. Yuichiro Nagashima K-1 Rules and MMA Rules Fight- DREAM Dynamite. What an embarrassing performance by Aoki for the stalling in the K-1 rules round, then getting immediately KO'd flat 2 seconds into the MMA round.
Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar - Oh yes.
Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva- UFC 79. One of my favorites.
Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg - UFC 52. If anyone hasn't seen it, LOOK FOR IT.

just watched Aoki vs. Nagashima, as well. I love Aoki, but he absolutely deserved getting KO'd. I can't believe the sh** he was doing. Dropkicks? I usually enjoy his antics...he just crossed the line that night....hope he doesn't retire though...

Two fights off UFC Unleashed on ONE HD last night (which I've seen before, but good to see again)
Dan Hardy VS Marcus Davis, UFC 99.
- Good battle between these two, with Davis doing his best to get the fight to the ground, as Hardy's striking was far superior...Davis succumbed to Hardy's plot, and it worked.
Randy Couture VS Gabriel Gonzaga, UFC 74.
- Fantastic stuff from 'Captain America', who excelled in dirty boxing and a great clinch which nullified Gonzaga, who unfortunately has fought better than this. Still, a good fight.

Watched UFC 44 on DVD, which was quite good, especially the main event, as Couture was simply amazing at nullifying a 28 year-old Tito Ortiz, who was obviously very upset about his performance, though he was classy afterwards.
Karo's performance was good, as was Hermes' headdrop trip/takedown on Uno...Sylvia and Arlovski's fights weren't bad either...
* * *
Jan 27th:
Yves Edwards VS Nick Agallar, UFC 45.
- A very uninteresting fight, with hardly anything happening until Edwards found an opening in round 2.
* * *
A few fights from UFC 106 as well on ONE HD.
Amir Sadollah VS Phil Baroni
- A great fight here, (which I'd seen before) with a Muay Thai clinic from Sadollah, who weathered the early storm from Baroni, who gassed pretty much from late round 1 onwards.
Luiz Cane VS Lil Nog
- Good showing here from Lil Nog, who excelled in some great boxing here, which clocked Cane good.
Josh Koscheck VS Anthony Johnson
- A fight I'd seen before, which still proved to be a sour fight after all this time.
Tito Ortiz VS Forrest Griffin
- A great fight here, (again which I've seen before) Griffin's performance shining here, despite taking some serious damage in the guard from Tito, who would then do hardly anything in the third round. Classy stuff afterwards though from both fighters.

Watched all of PRIDE 21: Demolition on DVD yesterday, which was a tad underwhelming in parts, but lifted with performances from Bob Sapp, Anderson Silva, Shungo Oyama, Fedor and of course Don Frye and Yoshihiro Takayama.

Just seen Nick Diaz vs Cyborg Stanos from last night's Strikeforce event. F*CKING AWESOME first round, but Cyborg gassed as Diaz started to find his range. And then Diaz proved he's no slouch on the ground either. Taken down, armbar within 10 seconds as if to say, "Take me down, and I'll do this so nobody does it ever again."

Yeah, I remember that show. It wasn't a great card at all despite the names on it then Takayama/Frye made up for it and more. HUGE.

Thanks mate, I was unbelievably underwhelmed by the likes of Yvel, Goodridge, Horn, Sugiura and even the two Gracies, Renzo and Daniel...for some of it I even wondered if any of them knew how to fight effectively...

Four fights from UFC 107 on ONE HD; some fights I'd seen before (Mir VS Kongo, Guida VS Florian)
Struve VS Buentello was good for a bit in the second round, but apart form that, nothing really to write home about. Struve's reach didn't look at all imposing in any way.
Penn VS Sanchez was fantastic, if you're a Penn fan like I am, which seemingly doesn't say much for Sanchez but he really had no answer for BJ's offence, couldn't take him down and was made to look like all he can do is have intense staredowns, which isn't fair, 'cos he's a great fighter, but on this night, BJ proved why he is a cut above.

Yeah. PRIDE had many duds back in 2002/2003. I'd say after PRIDE 26: Fedor vs. Fujita then PRIDE didn't have many duds.

That's a fair call too, I'd agree with that, another thing I can't get used to is Steve Quadros' commentary... As for me, I recently rewatched UFC 45, which was a pretty good card, with a highlight being Matt Hughes' standing RNC on Frank Trigg...the Hall of Fame and VCA's were good to see as well.
