Ultimate Fighter- good TV

UFC 196 is Feb. 6th, and the Heavyweight Championship belt is on the line.

Febricio Werdum (Champion) faces Cain Velasquez again, and I can't wait. Their last meeting was pretty damn epic.
Someone beat Cain! Will history repeat itself? Who knows? I have huge respect for both men. (Febricio is the first fighter to decisively defeat Fedor. That commands instant respect). I won't even dare to predict an outcome.
But it should be awesome. I'm watching it Live on PPV.

Ronda Rousey has publicly stated that she isn't retiring and that a re-match with Holly Holm WILL HAPPEN in 2016.

OK Sweetie. I can't wait to see that. You'd better be boxing your ass off until fight night!
Because I don't see a damn thing in your toolbag that will help you beat Holly Holm.
Holly already put an exclamation point on your suckitude...what do you think will happen next time?
If you don't learn how to box, the only chance you have is to take her down...and you're not strong enough Ronda.
I will watch the re-match with Glee...

My favorite idiot Frank Mir will face Mark Hunt on UFC Fight Night 84 in March.

I read that Mir had "career-saving wins" against Bigfoot Silva and Todd Duffee.
Um, Hello...Frank's career was over when he faced Overeem. His career was OVER.
Dana White must've felt pity for him, sad that Mir couldn't put food on his table anymore.."Let the boy fight" must've been Mir's Dad's plea...

Mark Hunt was never wanted by the UFC- they didn't want him on their roster when his contract was included in the Pride deal.
That angers me. The UFC is elitist, but I watch it just for the joy of seeing goombah's I hate get beaten up.
Mark Hunt has faced Febricio Werdum and lost (Mir hasn't), so I give the edge to Mark. He hits like a Mack Truck.
And Mark, if you're listening, knock that Vegas idiot out, Please.
Put a definitive stamp on it. I want no judges scorecards for a decision. I want that idiot KO'd like he deserves.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you that the UFC didn't want you in the octagon.
Lay a sinister beat-down on a coddled little child for me, will ya?
I'll buy you a case of beer- your choice of brand Mark!

Sunday night was UFC fight night 81, held in Boston. I didn't see it, but I've seen the results.
Dillashaw lost his bantamweight belt to Cruz and Matt Mitrione was defeated by Travis Browne, and received a brutal hematoma and broken orbital bone for his troubles. Browne played dirty, using his fingers as a rake- poking Matt twice in the eye. (And the ref didn't deduct a point or declare a no contest-WTF?) Is being Ronda Rousey's beau making you a heel, Travis? I predict Ronda will dump you in the future. I see your relationship as a temporary thing. Please prove me wrong. I had respect for you- you KO'd The REEM! After being pummelled like a ragdoll. You earned my respect for that. But your recent fight with Matt was disgraceful. You won, but so what? I want a re-match between you two when Matt heals up! AND A NEW REF!!!!

Mark Hunt has spoken! On his fight with Frank Mir, he said an hour ago:
When Frank fails to take me down, I'll Knock him out.

Right On, Mark! You got the right headspace. You're a KO specialist. Mir isn't. You hit real hard. I've seen it.
That's why I'm super stoked about this fight. Mir's a snake...beware...his head is full of concrete. Make sure you tag his temple or straight on the chin. Mir's got a thick skull.

Here's more reasons to be in Mark Hunt's corner:

- he fought Alaistair Overeem, like Mir, but instead of being pounded to a pulp, like Mir was, the REEM felt Hunt was a big threat and moved fast to submit him. (and did- Overeem is a freak of nature)

-His fight with Junior dos Santos (which Mark lost) is considered by many to be the best heavyweight fight the UFC ever had.
How did Mir fare with dos Santos? Riiiiight. Hammer fist! Get out!


-Mark KO'd Roy Nelson. Nuff said. he KO'd Big Country. Mir didn't.

Who wins UFC fight night 84?

Mark Hunt. By KO.

Frank Mir said in an interview (a bad one, where he's lounging at a spa or something with shitty sound) that Mark Hunt is a dangerous guy, especially his left hook.
Glad you're aware of that Frank.
Try not to tagged with it. You tend to forget who your opponent is in the octagon.
Kiwi Mark knows your only shot is to take him down and try to submit him. Good luck with that.
