Writer's Note: Holy shit, this coming week is awful. Of all weeks in of the year, I had to write this second episode now. Through late March, April, May, and June, all the major and even semi-major companies have great shows planned. But this week, uggghhh *shuuder*...so please bear with me this week. Admittedly, I don't know much about these fighters and I'm watching/rooting strictly for title fights and because i like to see champs retain in a dominant matter. I have pretty much nothing to add this week, so please just hang tough, watch some old UFC or Pride DVDs and wait til next week, when there is a SHITLOAD of MMA events.
THE WEEK THAT WAS
Fighters of the Week:
1. Dominick Cruz (WEC): Became the new WEC Bantamweight Champion after a defeat of Brian Bowles. Weird as the injury stoppage was, Cruz dominated the fight and earned the strap. 2. Jorge Santiago (Sengoku): Avenged his loss to Mamed Khalidov by wearing down the challenger en route to a 5-round decision win to retain his Sengoku Middleweight Championship. 3. Joseph Benavidez (WEC): Pulled off a massive upset by dominating Miguel Torres and forcing a tap out of the former WEC Bantamweight champ. 4. Marlon Sandro (Sengoku): Knocked out Tomonari Kanomata in nine seconds and earned a Featherweight title shot against Masanori Kanehara. Sandro is just scary and has been a destroyer of men since the bizarre decision loss to Omigawa in August. 5. Javier Vasquez (WEC): Possibly retired a legend by putting on a ground clinic against Jens Pulver and submitting him by an armbar. 6. Bart Palaszewski (WEC) The IFL veteran finally got his big win in WEC when he tapped out Karen Darabedyan with an armbar in the 1st at WEC 47. I've been tooting this guy's horn for awhile and it's about damned time he came through. 7. Maximo Blanco (Sengoku): The fast-rising lightweight continued his ascent up the ladder by soccer kicking Chang Hyun Kim out in 70 seconds. 8. Akihiro Gono (Sengoku): Gono has won his last three fights and shows he still has some gas left in the tank with a win over Diego Gonzalez. 9. Jake Rosholt (XFL): One of my favorite fighters gets his first win after being unjustly let go from the UFC with a W over Rudy Lindsey. I really want to see him return to a big promotion, as I feel he's just scratching the surface of his potential. 10. Justin Wren (ROF): Continues his TUF momentum by TKOing Josh Henry in the 1st at Ring of Fire. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the upper-mid orgs came calling.
1. Art Santore vs. Hector Lombard 2. Demetrious Johnson vs. Tyson Nam 3. Yoon Young Kim vs. Yoshitaro Niimi 4. Bobby Favors vs. Johnathan Ivey 5. Nathan Coy vs. Travis Bush
The Final Word:
Like I said before, horrible, horrible week for fighting. Hector Lombard and Demetrious Johnson are both fun to watch, but overall, meh. Alas, I soldier on, unwilling to take a week off and be labeled as a noob, or even worse...a troll! I shall fight on for you, men, bringing you the best of torrent site free message board mediocre informative posts! They may take our interesting fight cards this week! But they'll never take...MY LAPTOP!
