UFC 81 Breaking Point Review

I've got to say that this one was not as good as UFC 80 First Blood. There were some good fights but the preliminar fights were better than some of the big fights. It also seems like the UFC get stingier and stingier with each event that passes.

They seem to air less and less bouts. I also don't know if anybody notice Joe Rogan's slip up in the very beginning. It was pretty obvious. Brock Lesner really brought out the WWE guys. I think you might see more and more of them cross over as the WWE continues to crash. It is time to do the real deal boys. It either acting or fighting for real. I am guessing more of them pursue an acting career than a career in the UFC.

Well I have reviews of all of the fights aire live and on preliminary bout. I decided to skip the last couple preliminary bouts. My computer has got me in a finger wrist lock.

Well Dana White and Zuffa knew that this was a drama draw with Brock Lesner coming from the UFC. The UFC really needs to start putting multiple championship bouts together like they used too. There are definitely too many oraganizations around for them to start acting like they are untouchable just yet.

Final attempt at futile Stub Hub marketing.

Minotaura Nogueira vs. Tim Sylvia Fight

Before the fight I was just sitting there thinking, "Please, please don't let this be another slow fight." I was also wandering why Cecil Peoples was one of the judges. It doesn't make sense to have him as a ref or judge in boxing. What the hell is he doing as a judge in MMA. I almost wish the mafia would hook him up with some cement shoes. Also, I think they were rubbing it in by showing that loser Jay-Z just before the fight.

Well Big Nog just got his butt rocked by Sylvia in round one. I can't beleive Big Nog survived the beating he got. To his credit he ended up in really good position with no time left in Round One.

You would think that Nogueira would have immediately taken Sylvia to the ground during round two. It didn't happen. Watching this fight in round two my buddies girlfriend mentioned that Sylvia looked like an Ogre. From there on out I picture the bout as Shrek vs Shrek duking it out. Apparently, the second round was pretty slow and uneventful.

Both fighter lumbered into the third round, they looked absolutely beat. Still Sylvia managed to get in a real good right. Shortly, after that Nogueira took it to the ground. He was on the bottom but with a few great moves and some attempts at a leg lock he ended up on top. From there he made short work of Sylvia and caught him in a viscious Guillotine. No blood to the brain for you Mr. Sylvia. It didn't take Nogueira very long to cut off Sylvia's supply. Just kidding I like Sylvia, just not to win this fight.

The after fight interview of Nogueira was absolutely hillarious. He called Sylvia a giant, and with his accent he sound so funny. I don't think anybody will be able to find Nogueira's after party. I have no clue what he said. Tim Sylvia as always shows a lot of class and he actual seemed to get a lot of cheers from the fans for a change. I can't really see why the fans don't like him other than the fact he is a goofy looking fighter, style included.

Frank Mir vs Brock Lesner Fight

Well, I've got to agree with some of the pre-fight interviews. Brock Lesner needs to stop caring about all that WWE crap. Nobody cares who like MMA, this is the real deal. In Brock Lesner's defense Frank Mir needs to worry about those triple X gloves and wrestling skills. A lot of guys have come from Brock Lesner's background and really have wooped some butt in the UFC. Besides Sean Sherk trained at Lesner's place up in Montana, he has got to know something. Plus the guy is huge, and I don't think that he will get the Octagon gitters.

Well this started out off with Brock Lesner pummeling Frank Mir, and Steve Mazzagatti taking a B.S. point away from Brock Lesner. Then Lesner was being wreckless, and the obvious weakness developed. It wasn't long before Mir caught the knee bar. I do want to be sure everyone know Steve Mazzagatti did a terrible job. There should have at least been a warning and he should have pulled of Frank Mir a bit sooner. Even Frank Mir looked at him as if to say, "What are you doing? Did you forget you are the ref?"

I do think that we will see Brock Lesner comeback and he'll be a little smart next time. I know he went to college but I am still not sure that Brock is all that bright. That was a pretty obvious submission.

Tim Boetsch vs David Heath Fight

Well Tim Boetsch is a rising star taking the fight on short notice and David Heath is fighting for his life in the UFC. The traditional makings of a great battle. It worked out. Well I guess that is why the aired this preliminary bout. It did take these guys a minute to get going.

Boetsch did use those body shots I mentioned in an earlier post that were under utilized. Heath was pretty much Boetsch's punching bag. Heath's body just got hacked away at during the first round. I will give Heath credit he can really take knees to the head. Eventually, Boetsch just visciously threw Heath to the ground and pummeled him.

Well this epic battle ends with Heath losing his life in the UFC and I am sure we will see Boetsch in some bigger fights shortly, Boetsch looked absolutely flawless. The underdog takes it with ten days notice and moves up from the ranks of the IFL.

Tyson Griffin vs Gilson Tibau Fight Review

This fight was awesome Tyson Griffin really took it to Gilson. Gilson looked pretty good in round one up until he started getting rocked.

Tyson Griffin is a power house. He should really start using what every fighter under utilizes and that is body shots. You could tell that Tibau didn't want any more of that action. I have got to give it to Tibau I thought he was going to get knocked out several times. That boy can take a punch.

The thing that pissed me off is that the crowd was booing at the end. The people that go to these events can really be a bunch of jackasses. That was a great fight. Tyson put it on and that guy took it.

To the fans that were there if you read this get a clue or sell your ticket to a real fan. MMA fan I think are generally more versed and realize that a real chess match is going on in the Octagon.
