So last night, I watched UFC 116 ppv. All the fights were great but I was kind of dissapointed on how the “Lesnar vs. Carwin” fight ended. Why? Because Shane Carwin tapped out to Lesnar’s arm triangle choke in the second round. I think Shane could have easily escape that triangle choke if he tried, but he gave up for whatever reason. Shane was beating Brock’s ass, big time in the first round, punching Lesnar’s face in like crazy. In the first round when Lesnar was getting his ass kicked, you can actually see the fear in Lesnar’s eyes, yes, he was looking pretty scared and you don’t see that with Brock Lesnar too much. I had a feeling this fight was going to be a quick one like most Lesnar fights usually are. I wish Shane did better to make the fight longer. I know Shane could have beaten Brock last night ’cause he was doing so good in the first round. Shane was impressive… even if Shane lost, Shane proved a few things. He proved that: 1) Brock has fear 2) Brock can be beatable. Those are the two things that Cain Velasquez should have in mind when he fights Brock Lesnar next. It didn’t matter to me who won that fight ’cause I like both Brock and Shane. I’m glad Brock won though. I want Brock to lose the belt to the right guy and I don’t think Cain Velasquez can do it either.

As for the other fights, they were really good too. I loved Sotiropoulus vs. Pellegrino, pretty technical skills there. I was impressed with Bonnar vs. Soszynski, they don’t call Bonnar, “The American Psycho” for nothing, there is a reason they gave him that name, ’cause he just exploded out of no where.

The fight that I was most impressed with last night that blew my mind, yes, it was the fight of the night indeed, was the great Akiyama vs. Leben fight. That was an exciting fight and they put on quite a show. I was very shocked Leben got the win ’cause I thought Akiyama was on top. That was one of the best UFC fights I’ve seen in a long time.

I thought it was kind of funny seeing Stone Cold and Jim Ross in the audience, I think that was the first time seeing Jim Ross without that Black Resistol Hat. I can see Jim Ross saying to Steve Austin, “It’s gonna be a slobber knocker!”

It was a good ppv last night. I’ll probably watch it again on my DVR today.
