Yeah, I wonder what the crowd's reaction to A. Silva will be at UFC 117. He pissed off a lot of people at his last fight. I hope Sonnen can kill him but I have a feeling Chael Sonnen doesn't have a chance
As for Lesnar vs. Carwin....I have more respect for both fighters after this fight. Brock took a severe beating in the 1st round- I thought the ref was half a second away from calling the fight because Brock was getting murdered. I literally could not believe my eyes, both because nobody's ever seen Brock bleed like that and be controlled like that, AND because I could not BELIEVE that Brock survived that. Very impressive, he is one tough bastard. Also, I have more respect for Carwin even though he lost, because he did what nobody else could probably do. He made Brock bleed all over the place and totally, totally controlled Brock from on top.
The 2nd round it was becoming obvious that Carwin was very tired from trying to finish Brock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when Brock got full mount for maybe 1 or 2 seconds, and then HOPPED OUT OF FULL MOUNT to get an arm triangle choke on Carwin. I have never seen anybody do that....I don't know if he was trying to trick Carwin into thinking some ground and pound was coming?? Anyways it was a great submission, great fight, totally unexpected to see a submission from Brock Lesnar.
Did you see any of the prelim fights?? Seth Petruzelli got his arm broken, and some black guy (haha sorry I don't remember his name) got KO'd by a body slam
The Bonnar fight was exciting...he had to win this fight or face possible loss of his UFC contract. It seems like Bonnar enjoys bleeding
Every fight he's in he seems to get some nasty cuts, win or lose.
I was dissapointed by Akiyama against Leben. Leben got rocked on his feet in the 2nd round...hahaha he looked like a zombie!! He was stumbling around for like a minute straight, it was actually really funny. Akiyama is another exciting fighter to watch, he had a lot of good judo throws in this fight but he ended up getting extremely tired. BTW did you know his nickname is 'Sexiyama'?? I'm not joking
I thought his entrance song was also very cool. Most people go with retarded rap or mainstream 'metal' songs, but he went with some opera. Strange, but at least it's something different
