Watched UFC Unleashed on ONE HD last night:
Mark Munoz VS Kendall Grove - Interesting matchup, and initally, not a good showing from Munoz, who ate a huge uppercut from Grove, but weathered the storm and submission attempts to unleash some vicious GNP from top position. Not bad.
Frank Trigg VS Matt Serra - Great fight, Serra's one of my favourite welterweights and fighters all round, and showed that his standup is not to be underestimated. Nice head movement and quickness on the feet, whereas Trigg was like an arrow; straight up and didn't mix it up. Good stuff.
They also had two fights which I've watched recently, Pat Barry VS Antoni Hardonk from UFC 104 and Minotauro Nogueira VS Cain Velasquez from UFC 110 - great fights as well.

Watched all fights bar the main event from UFC 81 on DVD on the weekend:
Rob Emerson VS Keita Nakamura - Not that bad of a fight, Nakamura's striking improved as the fight went on, and his takedowns were good. Emerson's striking and distance were very good, and this helped him win a pretty good fight.
David Heath VS Tim Boetsch - Boetsch's debut, and impressive at that. Good leg kicks and effective strikes, whereas Heath did what he could to catch up, but Boetsch was too good.
Marvin Eastman VS Terry Martin - Not a good fight at all, way too much clinching, awkward striking and just that feel of 'this is gonna suck.' And it did. Chris Lytle VS Kyle Bradley - Along with Serra, Davis and Hughes, one of my favourite experienced welterweights, Chris 'Lights Out' Lytle, in a superb showing. Bradley was simply outclassed. Tyson Griffin VS Gleison Tibau - Having been impressed with Griffin's performances so far (apart form the Gomi fight) this was another good showing from him, despite Tibau controlling most of the action on the ground. Tibau's conditioning is incredible, and his takedowns were great along with his striking, but Griffin weathered the storm.
Ricardo Almeida VS Rob Yundt - Almeida's experience was a huge factor in this fight, and the ending was just insane, in what could only be described as a 'Canadian Destroyer-esque' guillotine choke/slam. Good stuff.
Nate Marquardt VS Jeremy Horn - Marquardt has always impressed me with certain nuances, and his standing guillotine choke on Horn was proof of this. Horn was good, but Marquardt was the better man in this fight. Frank Mir VS Brock Lesnar - We've all seen this fight before, but to see it again after UFC 116 is a sight to behold. Despite Mir winning, his face busted up by powerful striking from Lesnar who made two critical errors all within 90 seconds, it's amazing to see how much Lesnar has improved since here.

Vera Vs Cotoure GREAT fight. Vera was robbed though. At the most it should have been a draw.

Watched UFC Unleashed on ONE HD last night:
BJ Penn VS Georges St Pierre I - Amazing to see how far both men have come since this first fight back at UFC 58. Was really impressed with Penn, but GSP's takedowns and clinch game were solid too.
They also had two fights which I've watched already, GSP VS Matt Hughes from UFC 79 and BJ Penn VS Joe Stevenson from UFC 80 - great fights in their own right.

Watching a replay of Cruz vs Benevidez I on Versus. Jorgensen vs Pickett was a WAR.

Paul Taylor VS Paul Kelly, UFC 80: Rapid Fire
A tremendously hard-hitting fight from two welterweights who have consistently impressed me, great to see a fantastic fight in their home country go down so well.
Very classy showing from both men as the third round ended and post-fight too.

Goran Reljic VS Wilson Gouveia - Have not been impressed with Gouveia in the past fights I've seen of him (this one included) though Reljic's UFC debut was one that saw him win, I saw a load of things he needed to improve on. (which he never did, based off of his fight with CB Dolloway at UFC 110)
Ed Herman VS Demian Maia - Maia's BJJ was superb, though his takedown attempts were largely stuffed by Herman, whose win over Joe Doerksen previously was great. He survived quite a few submission attempts, but not all, losing via triangle which was a thing of beauty. KenFlo on commentary was great too.
The main event was a fight I'd seen before (as well as all of you), which was Chuck Liddell VS Rashad Evans from UFC 88, which was okay, though Rashad's KO was definitely the highlight.

Renato 'Babalu' Sobral VS David Heath, UFC 74: Respect
'Babalu' showed anything but respect at the end of this fight, which despite the bloodloss from Heath and the fight climax wasn't too bad. Heath's standup wasn't too bad but his ground game let him down here.

Aldo/Faber on the WEC DVD. I've been catching up on my MMA like crazy the past 2-3 weeks. I'll probably pop in the Best of WEC dvd after Raw tonight, it's official release is tomorrow and for 9.99 at Best Buy you can't go wrong. It's a must get if you're into MMA/UFC.

Watched all prelim fights from UFC 82 on DVD last night:
Jorge Gurgel VS John Halverson - Great showing here from both Gurgel and Halverson, though by the third round both men were visibly gassed. Great Jiu-Jitsu from Gurgel, but some nice escapes as well from Halverson.
Luke Cummo VS Luigi Fioravanti - The story of this fight was Fioravanti's takedowns, and that was about it. Pretty boring fight despite the takedowns, and Cummo did not look up to the task.
Diego Sanchez VS David Bielkheden - One of the most intense men in MMA, and this was further proof, as Sanchez was brilliant throughout, and Bielkheden had no answer whatsoever for the intense all-round game of 'The Nightmare'.
Josh Koscheck VS Dustin Hazelett - A fantastic scrap, Koscheck's striking was very good, as was Hazelett's (who caught Koscheck with a big knee early on). Koscheck returned the favour with a crisp headkick, then pounced on a dazed Hazelett for the win. Poor bloke cried as well as the announcement was made. Good effort all round.
Andrei Arlovski VS Jake O'Brien - Good sprawling from Arlovski, and caught O'Brien with a wicked elbow from inside his guard before the end of Round 1. O'Brien did well, but couldn't contain 'The Pitbull'.

Watched the rest of the main card bar the main event from UFC 82 on DVD on the weekend:
Chris Wilson VS Jon Fitch - Great fight here, Wilson looked very good, tad unorthodox in his striking, and landed some big shots on Fitch a few times, but Fitch's ground game was very good, excellent passing in Wilson's guard.
Chris Leben VS Alessio Sakara - What started off as a slugfest ended as one too, at least for Sakara, impressed with Leben here, though he ate quite a few shots to get the TKO.
Evan Tanner VS Yushin Okami - Okami looked very good here, his Muay Thai clinch was impressive, which he used to beat Tanner, who tried hard but was hard on himself for getting tagged. Good fight.
Heath Herring VS Cheick Kongo - Herring rocked Kongo within the first 5 seconds, and looked great, especially his ground game despite Kongo getting top position from time to time. Kongo was impressive here, but Herring even moreso.
Also watched UFC Unleashed on ONE HD last night:
Shane Carwin VS Christian Wellisch - 0.43 seconds of nerves and then an awesome left hook from Carwin which dropped Wellisch in spectacular 'mouthpiece-flyin' fashion.
Martin Kampmann VS Nate Marquardt - Fantastic stuff from Nate 'The Great', kept up a relentless pace which saw Kampmann unable to do anything whatsoever. Good stuff.
They also had two fights which I've watched recently, QUinton Jackson VS Wanderlei Silva and Rashad Evans VS Forrest Griffin from UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 - great fights as well.

Learning about Duffee's release made me want to go back and watch his fight with Mike Russow. Looking back at it, he messed Russow up pretty bad up until he started to gas out from throwing those wild wild uppercuts and such. Props to Russow for sticking in there and remaining offensive.
I loled at the little hammer fist he gave Duffee just as he realized he was out.
