UFC 87: Lesnar Owns in 3!

Now the OWNAGE wasnt as bad as that picture, but Lesnar took his time and picked apart Heath Herring.

The desperado theme song for Herring didnt put fear in the eyes of Lesnar for he had his hometown crowd backing him up. Herring said that he wanted Lesnar to trade punches with him, but after the first 2 minutes into round, 1, he thought differently. Lesnar’s straight right in the 1st round took Herring down. While Herring didnt get “rocked” he was punched silly and Lesnar took it from there. With a little showboating at 0:07 seconds left in the final round Lesnar sent his hometown crowd back home with a smile on there face. It went to the score cards, but the decision was obvious. That first punch made Herring bleed at the mouth by the way.

Seriously, this guy got Owned and was completely overpowered. It wasnt close at all.

EliteXC Primetime Disscussion: Kimbo vs Thompson

Yeah, I know not everyone here is interested in MMA but if you are tonight should be interesting. For the first time a MMA organization is featured in prime time on a major network. UFC president Dana White has been trying to get this done for years but has been beaten to the punch by EliteXC and CBS.

There is almost no doubt that the 3-0 Kimbo Slice will destroy the 14-8(2-6 in his last 8 matches) James Thompson in the main event so I wont even bring that up. What will probably be more entertaining is the undercard match up between Scott Smith(13-4) and EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler(15-4). These two are both heavy handed power punchers so I wouldn’t expect the bout to end in a submission. Also on the card is Gina Carano a.k.a. “Crush” from the new American Gladiators I don’t know much about her as a fighter but she was voted “Hottest Woman In America” by Big Biz Magazine whoever they are. Here’s the rest of the card:

  • Kimbo Slice(3-0) vs James Thompson(14-8 )
  • Robbie Lawler(15-4) vs Scott Smith(13-4)
  • Phil Baroni(10-9) vs Joey Villasenor(25-6)
  • Gina Carano(5-0) vs Kaitlin Young(4-1)
  • Brett Rogers(6-0) vs Jon Murphy(4-2)

Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle MMA Fight?

Although the reports were that TNA wasn’t trying to play up a MMA angle for the Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle match at Lockdown you’ll see from these clips that they clearly were. I’ll save my opinion for my rant on this weeks podcast but here it is Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle(c) from last night’s Lockdown PPV. Also, TNA is usually pretty cool about these YouTube video’s but I can see why they would pull this down so watch it while you can.

MMA Hits America’s Most Watched TV Network

I’m not surprised because of the growing popularity of MMA it was only a matter of time before this happened but what is surprising is who’s involved. While the MMA fans were waiting for the UFC to ink a deal with NBC, ESPN or HBO ProElite was finalizing a deal with CBS. The a deal was officially announced today by CBS and ProElite, who produces MMA events, all the detail we have right now is CBS will broadcast two-hour live specials four times a year on Saturday nights. If your not familiar with ProElite they are partly owned by Showtime(which is a CBS Corporation subsidiary) and they promote live MMA events for a few different organizations the most noteworthy of which is EliteXC.

Of course this isn’t the first time MMA has been on a broadcast network the International Fight League(IFL) did have a deal with MyNewtworkTv but their is a major difference between MNTV which is the lowest rated network and CBS which is the highest rated network. I have a feeling UFC president Dana White is somewhere very pissed off right now he’s been trying to get a major TV deal for the UFC for over a year. The silver lining on this cloud for the UFC is it might force the hand of whoever the UFC is currently negotiating with. But seriously, who would have thought that Kimbo Slice would be seen fighting on a major TV network before Chuck Liddell.
