First watching MMA in a movie theater rocks, I've watched MMA cards in just about every configuration possible and watching fights on a movie screen in HD for 15 dollars is the best value in the land. To the fights...
Velasquez v. Lesnar
Holy shit, what an utter liquidation of Lesnar who continues to panic and do drunken cartwheels any time he gets hit. My pick of Cain was largely influenced by Lesnar's performance against Carwin, I think that fight was an exposé as much as it was an excellent comeback win, it can be both. Lesnar's physicality and rage frighten me every time I watch him, he basically hit Cain with a spear in the first few seconds of the fight. Cain calmly getting up had to have been horrifying for Lesnar, and getting taken down I'm sure was a mindfuck. Cain's pace and striking production just melted Lesnar's will to fight, his game planning with Daniel Cormier proved to be a perfect foil for Lesnar's size and wrestling. Cain looks like he drove an obsidian spear into the face-zone of Lesnar and ate his heart to honor Quetzalcoatl, the feathered-serpent. I wonder how Dana feels about the sport's biggest draw getting destroyed?
Poor Dana. Make an effort to look somewhat happy there. It looks like someone farted in his face.
James Shields vs. Martin Kampmann
Joe Rogan, "If you haven't seen James Shields fight before..."
Lucky you.
Seriously, watching that fight was like having someone shit in my heart. Kampmann, a total moron apparently, passed up a great opportunity to overwhelm a gassed Shields and try to outmaneuver him on the ground, awesome. Also, Rogan needed to take the cock out of his mouth for Shields, good grief. Was that the most milquetoast performance to ever garner a title shot? Have fun with GSP, James, he was NOT empress bai yar parfarmance.
Paulo Thiago vs. Diego Sanchez
Thiago should have thrown a flash grenade into the Octagon before fighting Sanchez. I won't comment much on the fight but I will say that Sanchez is a bonafide retarded fellow. He is fucking weird, dude.
Tito Ortiz vs. Matt Hamil
By the beard of Zeus, why do they talk to a deaf person after a fight, he cannot hear you because he is deaf and he also cannot manage the volume and treble of his voice because he is a deaf person. Noone can understand what he is saying. Also, why are people asking about whether or not Ortiz is relevant anymore? He hasn't been a relevant fighter in close to 9 years. The last ranked opponent he beat was, maybe, Vitor Belfort back in 2005.
My friend Ivan, caught some funny commentary from Goldberg, "He has been in there with the division's best: Machida, Vitor, Chuck, Couture, Cote he has fought them all." Goldberg sounds like AIDS.
Brenden Shaub vs. Napao
Napao sucks.
Also some guy named Court McGee won, he was a TUF winner. WTF happened to TUF? They don't push their winners like they use to.
All said, an average event, with an amazing, electrifying main bout, the crowd in the movie theater was really rocking. Apparently, we are once again, entering yet another age in the heavyweight division after the greatest heavyweight tilt ever, again.
Also, Taker vs. Lesnar in a WWE/UFC co-promoted event?!?!
