UFC 116 Fight Ratings
Lightweight bout: George Sotiropoulos vs. Kurt Pellegrino
Looking forward to this fight as Sotiropoulous is a 10th planet guy against a Marcelo Garcia guy. Marcelo Garcia is pretty much accepted as the greatest sport bjj guy ever, gi and no gi. 10th planet jj is designed for MMA and no gi only and hated by Brazilians mostly because it was made by an American dude on weed that really never won anything except a semifinal ADCC win over Royler Gracie. I seen all of Marcelo Garcia’s tapes and while its pretty bad ass, I don’t think any of it is useful to an MMA guy whereas a lot of Eddie Bravo 10th planet stuff is immediately useful for MMA. Long side note, but only because I’m totally into this fight.
Oh also, Pellegrino was quoted begging Sotiropoulous to not tap out and to let his arm break or get choked out and he’d do the same so they could show how real BJJ guys do dis. Moron.
Sotiropoulous is a legit boxer with good boxing combos, and Pellegrino should use leg kicks to counter because Sotiropoulous’s head seems to be in the wrong place for an MMA fight but not for a boxing match. 1st round, Sotiropoulous knocks Pellegrino down with a jab, tries to get his back but does some side control thing and Pellegrino gets up. Back to boxing and Sotiropoulous is landing with the left hook a lot. Pellegrino with a takedown, but Sotiropoulous just gets back up. USA chant by Vegas crowd, which is stupid. George with a nice knee. His left jab and hook are doing well. Kurt with a takedown. George into crackhead control and unloads punches on Kurt so Kurt correctly pulls out and then goes into half guard. George pulls full guard easily and the round ends.
Kenny Florian told Kurt he gives George too much respect standing, but George is owning boxing. Kurt with unconvincing leg kicks. George grabs a leg and then after some hopping, Kurt goes down. George has awesome passing and eventually passes into quarterguard. George just unloads punches, hammerfists, and elbows from quarterguard. Kurt almost scrambles out but George holds him and Kurt’s pinned on the cage allowing George to get side control. George trying to get the back but Kurt stands up with the cage. George tries to lift Kurt to take him down but doesn’t work. Ref says advance position because Kurt cries but that’s because George is owning him Rashad Evans-like. Back to boxing. Kurt with a nice knee to George’s head but then eats a left and the round ends.
Kenny Florian tells Kurt has to finish the 3rd. Eddie Bravo tells George “HE DUN WANNA STAND WIT YOU.” 3rd round starts with boxing. George has legit boxing with a really stiff jab, but I really don’t like where George’s head is after he throws his combos. Kurt needs to bust some leg kicks and stop punching. George left hooks Kurt again and Kurt takes George down. George attempting mission control but Kurt’s stacking nicely to prevent it. I like George’s offensive guard. Kurt tries to pass but fail. George gets crackhead control, Eddie’s yelling for George to put the foot on Kurt’s hip to release the stacking. Kurt slams George to get out and they both stand again. Kurt gets a huge knee and a punch to the face as George hits the ground to convince one judge to steal the round, but George wins by decision. This was just George controlling every aspect of the fight, but the end of the fight could have been bad for George because his head is in the wrong place after his boxing combos. Against BJ Penn he won’t pay, but if they match George with a leg kicker, George would probably lose. ***1/2
Light Heavyweight bout: Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Stephan Bonnar
Mr. Kimura vs. Mr. Lifetime Contract. This fight as basically two guys trading punches. Soszynski should have made it a grappling fight, but his pride and concern for a good fight got in the way and decided to trade blows with Homer Simpson. Entertaining fight because they just traded punches, but stupid for Soszynski. ***
Welterweight bout: Chris Lytle vs. Matt Brown
Matt Brown tries to make this a clinch fight whereas Lytle is trying to trade. Matt Brown wins the first round with his dirty boxing clinch bullshit, but Lytle doesn’t look like he cares. Lytle gets mount on Brown, then side control, then reverse triangle from the top. When I saw this I was like, “WTF IS HE DOING GIVING AWAY MOUNT FOR SIDE CONTROL? Oh…reverse triangle from mount is worse.” It is worse because Lytle gets free shots to Brown’s head if he wanted, but he instead finishes with an armbar using his arms, which usually never works, but if Brown didn’t tap, Lytle would have punched the shit out of him anyway with hammerfists. Extra half star for the reverse triangle from mount that no one ever uses. ***1/2
Middleweight bout: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Chris Leben
So Leben takes Wanderlei Silva’s place because Silva broke 3 ribs and injured his knee in training. Oops. Leben just fought two weeks ago, sooooooooo wtf. Akiyama says he’s disappointed. Dana White says Akiyama is the type to trade blows just to show he can when people says he can’t. Great, another “pride” moron. Akiyama beats the crap out of Leben, but Leben’s another Homer Simpson. Akiyama looks gassed after the 1st round. Akiyama gets caught in a triangle and doesn’t even try to escape because he’s gassed. My god. Leben calls out Wanderlei Silva. Call out old, famous fighters. That’s how Tito does it. Easy wins. Akiyama was good as his judo takedowns, but his ground work really sucks. **1/2
Heavyweight Championship bout: Brock Lesnar (c) vs Shane Carwin (ic)
I have legit chills for this match up. I want Brock to win because he’s good for the sport, but Carwin’s knockout power is Mike Tyson-like. Brock gets punched in the face and tries to take down the Division II Wrestling Champion, but Carwin still has energy. Brock gets knocked down and Carwin unloads 101 punches to Brock’s head. I thought twice the ref might have stopped the fight, but I’m glad he didn’t because Brock looked like he was okay and was blocking a lot of them and fighting back when Carwin stopped punching. Some scary shit for Brock though. Joe says Brock’s wife isn’t watching anymore and put her head between her legs, but the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are still watching. Carwin with almost full mount and Brock takes that time to escape. Very nice. Round ends and this is the first time Carwin is past the 1st round.
Carwin looks TIRED the start of the 2nd round. Uh oh, is he gassed. You can’t be gassed if trained with Greg Jackson can you? Well, maybe you will be gassed if instead of training you went to your engineering job instead. Brock takes down Carwin and Carwin doesn’t even struggle. Ho shit, Carwin’s fucked. Brock in Carwin’s half guard. Brock looks like he’s going to get mount but instead moves to the other side and has a head and arm triangle. UH OH. Wait, Carwin’s got this, he looks comfortable. Oops, Carwin’s face tweaks as Brock does an adjustment and Carwin taps. Brock’s obviously been working with Erik Paulson. Modern age rope a dope as Brock waited for Carwin to punch himself out and gas and then tapped him. Didn’t even need to throw another punch in the 2nd round. No ring rust there for Brock. Afterwards, they show the Rock in Brock’s locker room saying something like, “MAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE” and Brock looks like he said, “Yeah me too.” I’m paraphrasing, but Brock obviously is more humble around the Rock than to the public. If Carwin’s punching power can’t take out Brock, maybe less punching power but full cardio on Tito Ortiz look alike Cain Velasquez can give Brock some problems. Great fight. ****
After so many terrible cards, this one was awesome. Next card looks like it might suck my ass, but I want Anderson Silva to beat the shit out of Sonnen and dance doing it so he dares Dana White into firing him.
