Mixed Martial Arts

Great job Bendo! It took someone with who could match Edgar's pace and cardio. Kicks kept getting caught but Frankie wasn't able to do much other than that so thought it was the right decision.

 

Overall, the card wasn't as exciting as some of the other recent events. Have got to watch that event again though. Looks like there might be some controversy again as far as the judging goes, but what if the mindset was more "Pride" than "UFC?"

True, and Joe Rogan pointed out the same thing. That and the fact that Frankie didn't do too much despite the fact that he was using some pretty good throws on Smooth. In contrast, Ben also pulled off some good guillotine and kimura attempts (too bad none resulted in actual finishes. Guess all those body kicks would also have had some effect on Edgar's spring and cardio, but not really noticeable in the fight itself.

True. That's something Dana White pointed out at the start of the broadcast and injured or not, IMHO the performance hurt Rampage's legend and it happened in front of the fan base that created that legend in the first place. Was trying to come up with a "big fight" that could would have interested him more, but am drawing blanks (Gustafsson maybe).

TUF possibly headed to Philippines

 

I think that this is a first step for a UFC event in PH.. If UFC can acquire a number of talents after this, then they can probably host an event afterwards..

 

Best news I've heard all day. With the inclusion of the lighter weight classes via the WEC (and upcoming flyweight tourney), our physically smaller fighters now have a fighting chance. There also isn't a collegiate wrestling community in the Philippines (AFAIK) but Wushu, Aikido, Karate, Judo, and Muay Thai have been popular for a long time so skills wise, there should also be a pretty good base.
