Started back to work yesterday and it feels good to be out of the house and actually doing something. It will take me a couple weeks to get back into the swing of things but hopefully it goes good this time around.
I was psyced for the UFC PPV event last night with Quinton Jackson and Mirko Cro Cop from Pride fighting joining the ranks of the UFC. Both won their fights but weren't terribly vicious. Most of that would be due to nerves probably, wanting to win their first matches in the UFC. A title match was supposed to be had between Anderson Silva who has the belt and Travis Lutter who wanted it. Unfortuneatly Travis didn't cut the weight and was over by a pound and a half. The fight was still on but not a title deffense for Anderson. Really pathetic that Travis didn't cut the weight. These guys train hard and know what is expected and have the time to make weight so the fact that he didn't is just disrespectful to the UFC who gave him the shot at the title and the fans.
Not only that but Travis was favored to win if it went to the ground because he is great at Jujitso and Anderson is primarily a stand up fighter. What happened? Travis got Anderson on the ground numerous times but didn't get anything done. During the last attempt on the ground Travis raised up and Anderson shot a foot into his face, when Travis came back down Anderson got him in a really nice choke submission and eventually Travis tapped. Needless to say Travis is probably not having a good day today.
