UFC 121: Cain Velazquez Vs. Brock Lesner

After constantly having to prove himself, it is great to see Cain Velasquez finally getting what he desereves. HARD WORK PAYS OFF..

*Tonight was not only a BIG win for Cain Velasquez, but for an enitre race, Velasquez coming in as the underdog became the first Mexican (-American) Heavyweight champion of the UFC.

Imposing his will right from the beginning of the fight, Cain Velasquez had incredible accuracy. Landing nearly every one of his strikes on Brock Lesner.

 Lesner struggled to fight back, seeking takedowns hoping to turn around the fight in his favor, but surely it was not enough. Velasquez was relentless with his attack and ultimately broke down Lesner and used great ground-and-pound, making his face into a bloody scene.

After continuously beating down Lesner, referee Herb Dean had no choice but to stop the fight at around a minute left in the first round and Brown Pride coming off with an impressive win over Brock Lesner and becoming the new Heavyweight champ of the UFC.
In other news, Matt Hamill defeated his former Ultimate Fighter coach Tito Ortiz via split decision. And speaking of Ultimate Fighter, Ultimate Fighter: Season 11 winner Court McGee obtained a win over Ryan Jensen through submission by an arm-triangle choke. And also Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights contender Brendan Schaub defeated Gabriel Gonzonga by unanimous decision.

Also edging out with a big win was Diego Sanchez (finally) with a unanimous decision over Paulo Thiago.

UFC 118: BJ Penn Vs. Frankie Edgar 2 [RESULTS]

*WOW,, as you can see I cought the fight on my computer via online stream.. I Know I'm CHEAP lol. Well Frankie Edgar (White Trunks) proved himself yet again but re-defeating the future Hall of Famer BJ Penn (Black Trunks) with a great display of athleticism, showing no signs of ever slowing down throughout the fight. While Penn on the other hand, might have just showed us how he is just not the same GREAT explosive fighter that he once was. All in all I'd say it was a good fight, I have new respect for Frankie Edgar, but still I expected more diversity from BJ Penn, at least more kicks and take downs, but again just like most of his recent fights, he relied heavily on his hands, which I think Penn is still one of the best if not the best boxer in the UFC, but that might have been what had costed him the fight.
*RESULTS:
Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar [WIN] vs BJ Penn (via Decision)
Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture [WIN] vs James Toney (via Submission)
Middleweight bout: Demian Maia [WIN] vs Mario Miranda (via Decision)
Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs Gray Maynard [WIN] (via Decision)
Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz [WIN] vs Marcus Davis (via Submission)
