UFC 78: MEDIOCRE

I should have listened to my inner self. He’s much brighter than I am. He kept saying…”Don’t get this PPV!” “What are you stupid!?” “Definitely don’t spring for the HD telecast!” “Even in high def, crap still looks like crap.”

I didn’t listen, and it was 50 bucks wasted.

The fights…
Frank Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher – The oral fellatio being performed on Spencer Fisher by Joe Rogan was ridiculous. But it was all worth it when Fisher was completely over-whelmed for 3 straight rounds in losing a unanimous decision. Lame boring fight.

Ed Herman vs. Joe Doerksen – I loathe Ed Herman. I don’t know why, but he just irks me. I was almost rewarded for my hate when Doerksen slapped on a quick, beautiful triangle choke/armbar and Herman was done…then the bell rang, saving his pathetic life. Next round, Herman landed a nice left hook after ducking a punch and Doerksen was KO’d.

Parisyan vs. Chonan – Karo Parisyan isn’t as good as he believes he is, hell nobody is that good. And Rogan annoyed me the whole fight with his commentary. Chonan has horrible standup in this fight. It’s never been great, but his punches were very telegraphed. Boring fight with Parisyan winning via unanimous decision.

Thiago Silva vs. Houston Alexander – Houston got KTFO…twice. Quick fight with Silve quickly gaining full mount then raining down fists of fury.

The main event of the night. The battle of mediocrity, lay and pray vs drunken boxing…
Rashad Evans vs. Michael Bisping – Another bore fest that goes the distance, and another gift decision only this time Bisping gets the short end as i had him winning the fight. Rashad got alot of takedowns but didn’t do any damage, and Bisping was the more effective striker, especially in round 2 and 3. Evans won via split decision and remains undefeated.
