Warning: UFC 100 spoilers alert. Do not read if you haven't seen the fights yet but are planning to see them.


So, I know I've never really talked about UFC before and I probably don't seem like the type of guy that is into fights but my friend threw a party for UFC 100 since it had a good line-up and it was the 100th show. Let me tell you, it was a good show.

Now, for those of you who don't know this there are supposed to be 5 fights on a card. From what I understand a card is basically the matches that they have planned to air. If it runs short then you can see preliminary fights if they're good enough and what not but the five on the card you're supposed to get to see. That means that we were supposed to see five nights at least with the possibility of more. They have the fights listed so you know who's going to be up and what not and one of the fights didn't show when it was supposed to so my friends were pretty upset. Basically, we thought we'd been jipped a fight. Luckily, it was shown at the end of the night becuase of a timing conflict so all is well. On to more important matters.

The first fight was a split decision after three rounds. Not very intense. I think they were afraid of getting countered quite a few times. One of the judges gave the winning fighter a perfect score which he definitely did not have.

The second fight was awesome. Henderson threw one hell of a punch that just destroyed Bisping. He fell like a ton of bricks. Then Henderson jumped into the air and came down first first on the guy's face. It was total chaos. If you look closely you can see Bisping convulse like he was having a seisure. He does it two or three times. All my friends were screaming like we'd just won a million dollars. Apparently there's a lot of hate for Bisping.

GSP vs Thiago was pretty good too. GSP is one hell of a fighter. He's got some awesome ground game. He apparently hurt himself in the fight but did a good job holding it together. He won by unanimous vote.


The Lesnar vs Mir match was pretty good too. We were all voting for Mir. Lesnar is just too much of a blockhead for my tastes. The guy needs to relax. He's not everything just because he can throw some serious punches. He caught Mir off guard because normally his ground game is small, quick punches and this time he was reeling back. He fought fair and won and there was no controversy about this fight but his styel (GS won't let me spell it the right way) was definitely different from his previous matches. I think if Mir was prepared the fight would have been a lot different.


The final fight was the one that was moved around twice. Fitch vs Thiago (different Thiago). Fitch did a good job but there was nothing exciting about this match. They clearly were both tired because they had been moved around and warmed up too early. Oh well.

So anyway, good night all in all. I just wish there was more brawling and at least one great submission. For UFC 100 it could have been a little higher in the intensity. Oh well. And that's all for tonight.

@Mr_Fujiv1: Sad part is, best submission went to an off-card match. Lame. Not a single sub or really any groundwork at all for the main five. Boo. GSP tried but when he hurt himself he just couldn't work at all.

Henderson rocks.
