UFC 89
October 18, 2008
Folks,
It is time for yet another night of fights. No I am not talking about a bunch of people getting hammered and fighting in my Apt (although that is always a possibility). I am talking about UFC 89 (hence the title of this post: UFC 89) Bisping vs Leben.
Let us start:
Bisping vs Leben: This should be a pretty interesting fight with both fighters enjoying a good old fashioned brawl. Bisping has chosen to fight middle weight since his loss to Rashad Evens it has been good for him, having won both his fights at this middle weight level. Leben has always been one to give a show to the fans, always standing toe to toe. This could prove to be his demise. I will have to say that Bisping will win this fight, he is a 205 fighting down to 185. He is big, strong, fast and very smart. Bisping wins. Oh yeah, I got this one, Bisping proved to be a little to much for Leben, getting a decision win. 1-0 for this card and 8-8 all time.
The next fight features one of my favorites, Keith the dean of Mean Jardine!! how can you not like this guy. He is fighting Brandon “The Truth” vera. This will be a pretty explosive fight, Jardine is willing and able to trade shots with anyone, just ask forest griffen, Chuck liddel. He is however, susceptible to knock out, Wanderlei Silva. He tends to leave his chin open when he starts swinging for the fences. If Vera can keep his strikes sharp and technical he will win, if not, Jardine will destroy him. Jardine wins look for some heavy ground and pound. Jardine takes out Vera in points. 2-0 for the card 9-8 all time.
Rameau Sokoudjou Vs. Luiz Cane
How can you not like a guy named the Assassin? Rameau Sokoudjou (pronounced SO-ka-jew) is fun and energetic if not technically sound. He brings tons of energy and some terrible dreads. Luiz Cane brings a 9-1 record to the octagon and I think you will see him fall to 9-2 before the night is done. The Assassin wins. Luiz Cane wins by TKO. 2-1 for the card, 9-9 for all time
Paul Taylor Vs. Chris Lytle
I am a fan of Lytle, however he has been on a win, lose, win, lose tear with his most recent loss coming form Josh Koscheck. I haven’t seen much a of Taylor, but I know he likes to come out and bang so it should be a great fight with both men standing in the middle of the Octagon trying to punch the others head off. Paul Taylor wins. I should have stuck with my gut, but I didn’t so we find that Paul taylor won, and I am now 2-2 on the card and 9-10 all time.
Paul Kelly Vs. Marcus Davis
Marcus Davis “the Irish Handgrenade” is fun to watch, loves dishing out and even enjoys taking a little punishment. Look for him to try and stop Paul Kelly early. If Paul Kelly can weather the storm I think he will win a late round submission. Paul Kelly Submission win. Well, I lost again. The Irish Hand grenade beat down and then submitted Paul Kelly. It was a great fight, but I am now 2-3 on the card and 9-11 for all time.
None of the other fights are worth talking about since the odds of us seeing them are slim to none. Hope you can enjoy this, check in tomorrow night to see how i have done and see my running total!
OH Dear!

I figured it was high time I got some time in on the ol’ blog. I haven’t written anything in some time and I can’t say that I have been too busy. I have merely had nothing I felt like putting into words. While I have little to say at this time I feel it is high time I wrote something for my readers… …all three of them! (Thanks Lover!). First of all a few shout outs to my peeps!
For my lovely Girlfriend, see (Thanks Lover)
I have a few friends that are always looking for ways to change the way we do things on the Internet, From creating high quality web addresses, to this new thing that is launching in a few weeks. This is called Nectar. I would tell you what it is but why listen to me, as my friend, one of the masterminds of this en devour, and one of his partners in crime explain it on tasty logic. Great stuff. To get updates you can look at the blog site for Nectar here. Good luck my friend!!
Over the last couple of weeks I have started watching some vlogs. for those of you that don’t know what a vlog is here is an example. My friend Josiah, has started some of his own and I must say, they are funny! Here is a taste. I would suggest watching the birthday one, it is great!
Oh, and did anyone see Kimbo “I can’t fight, never could, shouldn’t be allowed to degrade the MMA world that Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Dan Henderson, Randy Couture and countless others made such an amazing sport, and I should just stop know and go back to being a bouncer at a Porno Club!” Slice totally get his faced beat in for 14 seconds against a Scrub Fighter. ( I don’t even know his name, me, the guy who watches every fight he can, reads every story, and studies this sport with the enthusiasm of a 2 your old trying to get at his/her birthday cake). Kimbo, if you can read this, stop fighting, unlike Brock Lesner, who has shown he belongs, you fight in a chump league, with chump fighters (no Offense Mr. Shamrock- I do appreciate you being willing to go down a few levels in order to show the world that Ho bo, I mean Kimbo, is a chump!) go back to bouncing, I know a club that needs a big scary guy… …err, well wait, get your eye taken care of first!
And I am Spent!
Sorry that so many of the links are not working my friends, I will get to fixing it as soon as possible!
