MMA Fans??

It was a pretty good UFC card. Brandon Vera looked like a huge pussy, but other than that they were all pretty good fights. The Spider is one of my favorite fighters. He's so respectful and humble. He can sure bring the pain, though. He caught that leg and BAM, fight's over.

Did anybody catch the fight they showed right after the Spider-Sandman? The head kick? Ouch!

After Pride folded, the UFC took over as the premier league for MMA. It was interesting that a small upstart company called Affliction held their first pay-per-view event last night. Dana White (president of UFC) quickly threw the Silva fight together to try and crush them. Pretty much the only thing they had going for them was Fedor, who is still considered the best heavyweight in the world, even though he hasn't fought any real competition for 2 years. Last night he went against former UFC heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia and destroyed him. They also had Andrei Arlovski and Babalu, two former UFC studs who had petered out and been let go. I heard it was a decent card, but it's doubtful they can stand up to the UFC. Interesting side note, former UFC referee "Big" John McCarthy is heavily involved with Affliction. I wondered why I hadn't seen him calling any fights for a while.
