Rashad Evans just won! Yes everyone he is a Michigan State guy. The other guy who got knocked out with a head kick was an Ohio State guy. Rashad is slowly moving up the chart and probably will get a title shot very, very soon.

Seriously though when the interviewed Rashad the other guy was still out so I hope that he is okay. (it is just a sport after all)

Yes, I noticed that. I hope he is alright. I would hate to hear about a serious injury. It wouldn't bode well for UFC either.


This next show should be interesting.

I missed the second hour, but the first was ok... the second fight, the heavy weights, was quite boring actually.

I would not know Terry but he certainly has improved his game in the last year or so from being just a wrestler to incorportating striking with his hands and feet. That was a really good fight!

Ok, break down:

Heath Herring- overrated or what?
Ed Herman- nice move from a rear naked choke attempt to an arm bar, that was fast
Rashad Evans- one of the greatest rounds to the head I have ever seen, the guy was out before he hit the canvas, I think he might still be out
Spencer Fisher- a little disappointing for someone who was suppose to be one of the top contenders

I think so. The guy is whining about fighting on the ground. Thats a big part of MMA! You need to be able to deal with that... the guy may be a great striker, but we did not see much of it during his fight.

I have never seen him fight, all I heard was how good he was and the only guys he lost to were the cream of the crop out of Pride. I was not impressed, but that is why I was asking was that just a off night and the pressure got to him, has he lost it, or did he just really never have it?

I think Herring just got paired up with someone who was a difficult matchup for him. O'Brien was able to get Herring down and then move to a dominant position. Once there O'Brien did nothing to really win the fight. (nor did Herring) If O'Brien had been really opening up once in a dominant position then their would have been space to work with. Instead he pretty much got a position and did not force it. It was a smart move on his part because I do not believe he has very good submission skills at this point. I think Herring was upset because he wanted a fight where there was alot of action and that did not occur here. That being said neither fighter impressed me at all.
