Luiz Cane VS Steve Cantwell, UFC 97.
- A fairly dire affair IMO, Cantwell seemingly only had one type of combination while Cane never seemed to leave second gear...enough to get him the win, though...

I FINALLY started watching some of my Pride dvds. Went through Pride 29 last night. Pretty good event all around, but there were a few stinkers amongst the group. The Kiyoshi Tamura and Aliev Makmud fight was just terrible. Makmud was looking sloppy and seemed to be fading. A sudden low blow sent him to the mat, and after a lengthy recovery, it appeared as if he was content to just get out of the fight that way.
I'm guessing someone talked him back into continuing, so the fight resumed after about 5 minutes or so. He landed one hard shot to Tamura, couldn't finish him off, and then basically quit. He started motioning to the referee that the low blow was apparently still hurting him, and wanted to stop fighting. The referee ignored him, and the fight continued awkwardly for about a minute with Tamura not willing to attack Makmud much at all. Then finally, with BOTH fighters asking the referee to stop it, Makmuds corner tossed in a towel.
Just a terrible fight. Even Rutten was clearly annoyed with Makmud, but did his best to stay unbiased. I suggest checking it out just to see how amusingly awkward of a fighter was (both appearance and style wise).
I was also a little disappointed with the Ninja/Rampage fight. The decision was fairly odd, and overall it was a bit of a letdown. Though it was kind of funny to see Shogun call Rampage out afterward. Especially knowing how brutal of a beating Rampage ended up taking from Rua.
Overall, it was just awesome seeing Shogun, Igor, Lil Nog, Kharitonov, and Cro Cop fighting at their highest level for the card. Great stuff. I hope to watch Pride 30 tonight, and maybe a few others over the weekend.

Nogueira vs. Cro Cop - PRIDE Total Elimination 2003.
Wanderlei Silva vs. Rampage Jackson - PRIDE 28 High Octane.
One of my favorite fights, then my favorite KO ever.

Condit vs. Hardy.
Hardy, I love you. I really do, but that KO was awesome. Condit needs more credit. He's the real deal.

Patrick Cote VS Anderson Silva, UFC 90.
- Despite the outcome (sad to see Cote go down like that with that injury) I wasn't impressed at all with his striking or movement, whereas Silva looked uninspired and disinterested. The Koscheck VS Alves fight (on the same card) was perhaps my favourite on the card.

Watched a few fights over the weekend, including:
UFC 76:
Chuck Liddell VS Keith Jardine - Jardine's best performance ever, from someone who is not a fan of Jardine; shame that Chuck couldn't get out of second gear.
Forrest Griffin VS Maurico Rua - Great performance and respect given by Griffin, who looked brilliant here against a tired and nervous Shogun.
Jeremy Stephens VS Diego Saraiva - Stephens' impressed me with great defense inside Saraiva's guard, and those two 'Arona-bombs' were simply amazing...Saraiva could've exploited his BJJ, but didn't, which was a shame.

Dan Henderson vs. Babalu Sobral, Scott Smith vs Paul Daley and Matt Lindland vs. Robbie Lawler.
Without spoiling it, this card was 10000000X better than UFC's freebie last night

Anderson Silva VS Chael Sonnen, UFC 117.
- Good to see this again, if only for the chance to believe that the fight with the most hype in quite some time lived up to it, free from Sonnen's PEDs. Amazing triangle from Silva at the end, a great fight that you knew would be a contrast of styles of the utmost.

Yoshihiro Akyiyama VS Alan Belcher, UFC 100.
- ONE HD here in Oz are showing edited cards and matches from past shows, which is great, as I got to see this fight again, which was quite good, even though it slowed down immensely at the end. Belcher looked great here, but Akiyama got the better of him in a great fight.

Nate Marquardt VS Thales Leites, UFC 85.
- Far from the best fight I've seen from Marquardt, the knee to to the head an example of sloppiness from him...the 'piledriver' towards the end was crazy, btu credit to Leites for staying in there.

Gina Carano VS Elaina Maxwell, Strikeforce: Triple Threat.
- Quite a good showing from Carano (and it showed) but Maxwell did her best to weather the storm from Carano's full mount in the last round. Good stuff.

A few, actually.
Cung Le VS Tony Frykland, Strikeforce: Shamrock VS Baroni - Le's kicks were excellent here, as was his footwork. Frykland looked to have no answer.
Jorge Masvidal VS Matt Lee, Strikeforce: Playboy Mansion - Great flurry from Masvidal to end the fight here, great stuff.
UFC 101:
Kurt Pellegrino VS Josh Neer - Probably one of the best performances I've seen from Pellegrino, though Neer's ground game off his back was quite a thing to see.
Kendall Grove VS Ricardo Almeida - A similar fight in scope to the previous, if only due to the takedowns and ground game of Almeida, though at one point Grove's armbar off the ground looked to finish 'The Big Dog'. It wasn't to be, but a good fight nonetheless.
The last two I've seen in full before, Anderson Silva VS Forrest Griffin and BJ Penn VS Kenny Florian, great fights both, moreso the main event.

i've been watching the ufc the best of 2009 over the past week. good stuff. just finished the final wec event. the main event between henderon/pettis was such a great fight to close out the promotion. the leaping from the cage ninja kick in the 5th round was ing insane. i loved that fight. seriously, i was glued to the tv all five rounds.

Joe Stevenson VS George Sotiropolous, UFC 110.
- I have seen this fight quite a few times now, is up there with how good Couture VS Nogueira was (for me), as I rewatch it in anticipation for UFC 127, coming to our shores in February next year. It will be insane, and I will be there, probably losing my voice cheering for George.
;D
