UFC Fight Night 21 Thoughts...or a little less than that

RANT: I hate having tape delayed MMA. It sucks. I live on the west coast in a beautiful city. Why should I be punished for that?

Very disappointed that Jason High lost, but he's still young and will be back.

Gerald Harris is sneakily becoming a special fighter. He beat a tough guy in Miranda tonight. Very impressed that he actually finished him.

Yushin Okami actually finishing someone is very impressive. The loss to Chael Sonnen was a wake up call for him. Linhares was the kind of opponent he needed to get back on track.

Caol Uno's return to the UFC hasn't been exciting nor has it been impressive. He went to a stalemate with Spencer Fisher (something I never expected) and he got worked a bit on the feet by Gleison Tibau and then muscled on the ground. We haven't seen Tibau be that aggressive in a while. Not a good sign for Uno's future in the UFC. Tibau was able to do what Fisher couldn't which is kind of puzzling. Fisher had the stand up to pick Uno apart but yet Tibau hit him with a big shot and worked him on the ground. Very odd.

I can't wait to see the Volkman vs Torres and Andre Winner fights. I'll hold my comments til then.

Ross Pearson looked very good. He's slowly building on his game and used fakes effectively to catch Siver off guard. Siver never could get Pearson's timing down and was pretty much helpless the whole fight. I definitely underestimated Pearson coming off of TUF. I'm sorry Ross Pearson.

I'm pretty much done with seeing Nate Quarry fight. It's just too sad now.

Big Country did what I thought he would do. He hit Struve hard. It was pretty. I know Dana hates that he wins in impressive fashion but if Nelson keeps winning he could become a huge draw. I like it. I like it alot.

The fight went exactly the way I thought it would except that Kenny actually finished Gomi. Very impressive. Kenny is a top 5 lightweight but unfortunately can't beat BJ Penn. Until then we get to see him beat up lightweights with his jab. I'm down for it. Gomi looked like he was trying to goad Kenny into something into brawling but it wasn't working. Kenny is too smart. I want to see him fight Diego Sanchez. Diego will definitely quench his thirst for a brawl.

I went 6-3 putting my total to 12-7 for the year so far...at least on the blog.
