So, I guess UFC is having a PPV here in Columbus. Like, this Saturday. It's Friday, and I'm just finding out aboot this. Not that I'd be jumping at the opportunity to give any assclown by the name of "Liddell" or "Sylvia". And there's not even any CroCop, Rampage, or Anderson Silva! What a rip!

I am confused and filled with an urge to consume pie. I, too, share Mr. Duff's sentiments.

Actually, Liddell isn't even on the card. The card is garbage, man. Tim Sylvia vs Randy Couture is the only real fight on the card, the rest of them seem to be cans for Rich Franklin and Matt Hughes.

The only fight I'm interested in seeing is Jason MacDonald (aka - a can) versus Rich Franklin. MacDonald is listed as being from RIGHT HURR (same place as Benoit BEFORE the Atlanta BS, home of the storied (yawn...) Oilers), and he's been whuppin' ass latley (last guy to hand Leben a loss). I really want to see if Franklin has stepped it up since losing, or if he's the paper tiger champ I've always seen him as. I'm not comparing MacDonald to Silva, because there is no comparison, but I thought MacDonald/Franklin should have happened quite some time ago, then Silva showed North America what a real MW can do Okay, I lied a bit, I'd also like to see my boy Renato "I faced death himself, and he smelled like vodka and perogies" Sobral (he fought Fedor in RINGS), but again, with my luck, I'd order this bitch and it would end up that Babalu's fight wouldn't be shown or some shit. Sylvia can go fuck his hat, and for some reason I don't even care if Coture wins. Who's a 40 something guy who just came out of retirement going to defend his title against? Jeff Monson? Cabbage Correira? Paul Buentello? Arlovski? Even worse, Mirko Filipovic? Just m ail CroCop the title and call it a day. The Huges/Lytle fight might be okay, too, but I don't really care. ;D

Arlovski's the only guy he'd probably face, and then - yippie fucking skippy - we'd get another Arlovski/Sylvia fight.
Also, why the hell is it 2 in the morning, and neither UFC's website, or Sherdog, have results posted?

If the UFC were worked, Sylvia would have smashed Couture's head and then bragged about how he was unbeatable and that he's been laying back until someone were to challenge him. Enter pissed off Croat to challenge.

HAHAHA!
Dana White: Trust me, UFC 6X will showcase the greatest matches of all times, and will easily be marginally more interesting than doing your taxes on a Saturday night!

Another UFC in the books. 19000 + fans in Moto's back yard (you've got a BIG yard, dude.), a great crowd that showed some class and fight knowledge, unlike the drunken mob typical of Vegas. There should be more events held in Columbus, the crowd was hot and full of smarks! A real nice change for once! Kudos to Columbus!
Babalu is officially done. Poor bastard, he had the upper hand early on when he stung the dude he was fighting with some good shots, got his back, but couldn't capitalize. Once sausage tits got his composure back, he rocked Babalu with some good shots, and just about pounded him out before the end of round one. Round two came, Babalu threw a nkee with his hands down, and ate a BIG hook! Lights out for Sobral. Brutal. Side note, Sobral came to the ring to the same music Samoa Joe does, the other dude must have had Johnny Cash as his guardian angel, because "God will cut You Down" was his music. God didn't even need to get involved in this one. Too bad for Sobral.
Well, one of the best fights of the night was between Drew McFedries and Martin Kampmann. McFedries threw some BOMBS, but the former Danish Muay Thai champ weathered the storm (I still don't know how...), got a take down, and pulled off one of the SLICKEST side chokes I've ever seen! He had the arm position from a left side mount, looked like he was going to pass into a full mount, but just kept going to a right side mount and choked out McFedries! Great sub!
The Huges fight sucked, I swear they just gave some homeless guy a ref shirt and a bag of empty cans and told him to stand there for the duration of the fight. Huges laid on Lytle for the entire fight, and the ref didn't stand them up once, regardless of the fact that Huges did nothing to finish the fight or improve his position (Lytle has good ground defence, and neutralized Huges' multifaceted (ie. half a face) offence of laying on his opponent and trying to cut him with weak elbows). Brutal fight.
MacDonald looked lost for most of his fight with Franklin, he should have worked on his stand-up prior to the fight. Franklin looked pretty good, but you could see that he was nervous to be back in the cage. This fight didn't look much different than any of his other fights, so Franklin had better step his game up before he gets his rematch with Silva (apparently in Cincinnati... Franklin dropped that on the crowd after the fight.).
Batista sighting... Wait, wouldn't Batista being at a UFC event acknowledge the existence of other combat sports besides WWE? Continuity issues ensue for the WWEff writers...
Well, now the guessing game begins. DOMINANT, five round decision victory for your new, UFC HW champ, Randy Coture! Great fight all around with a MIND BLOWING, left inside leg kick -> overhand right knockdown of Sylvia with the FIRST punch thrown by Coture in the first few seconds of the fight! Fucking amazing! They showed Coture warming up with some dude holding focus mitts, and I commented that those hands don't look like the same ones Randy brought to his other fights! WOW! Coture out-punched (despite a FOOT reach deficit!), out hustled, took down, and outclassed Sylvia on every level. Sylvia sure as hell wasn't expecting that punch (and the dozens, maybe a hundred or two more) that Randy landed, and his confidence was broken very early on in the fight. Amazing performance by a super patient, well conditioned veteran, who if I hear Rogan call "over the hill" again, I'll eat his festering spleen out of his body like a Friday the Thirteenth episode of Fear Factor. I know Rogan doesn't have a body like The Natural, nor does anyone else who can be called over the hill... Sylvia tried to blame his loss on an injury (which elicited a HUGE chorus of boos from the fans! AWESOME! That's what you get for being too much of a coward to admit your shitty half-a-game was outclassed. Fucking pylon.), but the only weakness that Sylvia showed was exactly what Coture has said all along, Sylvia has NO HEART! I think from now on, Sylvia should be called the Tin Man.
So, who the fuck knows where things go from here. I was really hoping to see CroCop kill Sylvia for the title, but now what? I guess he'll have to ace Coture for it instead! ;D
Pretty weak card, but Coture saved the day.

That rules. Couture winning made my day I'm not even surprised, I've said it multiple times that I thought he could win. He may have been outweighed, but he has more skill and experience then Sylvia did. SO much more skill that it was ridiculous. The fact the fight ended so early and so CLEANLY is what's amusing. Sylvia making excuses after is just great, the crowd booing is just perfect Batista sighting? The heck! Thats kinda odd Especially so close to WM!

The fight was five rounds, and Sylvia's face showed all 1500 seconds of it. Coture was really heads up in this one, at one point, Sylvia looked like he had Coture lined up for nkees to the head as they were getting up off of the ground, but Coture had the sense to put both hands on the mat, so that he was on ALL FOURS and it would be illegal for Sylvia to nkee him! Heads up! I think Batista was there with the lil' guy who waxes his big muscles or something. Maybe it was a make a wish foundation thing? j/k, he was there with some scroungy lil' prick, but all of us know he should be at home, in the gym getting ready for THE N EVENT!!!
