Rampage Jackson vs Forrest Griffin Review
A former Pride fighter turn UFC Champion Quintin “Rampage” Jackson and original Ultimate Fighter winner Forrest Griffin collided last weekend in what many expected to be a quick bout ending with Rampage keeping the belt over a knocked out Forrest Griffin. Already proving that he has the ability, heart and determination to be victorious as the heavy underdog, can lightning strike twice for Forrest?
TUF7 Finale: C.B. Dalloway vs Amir Sadollah Review
The long awaited rematch between the All American wrestler and favorite to win the whole thing, C.B Dollaway and the self deprecating yet personality filled muay thai practitioner, Amir Sadollah took place last night on Spike TV’s broadcast of The Ultimate Fighter Finale. When all is said and done, the brief fight summed up exactly what each fighter was about…
TUF7: Amir Sadollah vs C.B. Dollaway
Update: Check out the The Ultimate Fighter Finale reivew of C.B Dollaway vs Amir Sadollah right here!
The last episode of The Ultimate Fighter we jump right into into the thick of things: CB Dollaway vs Amir Sadollah. With the mystery of The Ultimate Fighter’s “most shocking twist in history” - this quick start to the action foreshadows the upcoming bombshell that is sure to be revealed later on in the episode.
CB Dollaway lets us know in the prior episode that Amir is his biggest threat, and rightly so. Amir possesses a level of striking that is a least a notch above everyone else’s in the house, and since being tested against the power of Gerald Harris and the formidable standup game of Matt Brown - Amir’s true strength comes from his never say die attitude. Is Amir’s superior striking and fighting spirit enough to defeat the number 1 pick or will CB Dollaway ’s explosiveness and wrestling prove too much?
TUF7: Jesse Taylor vs Tim Credeur
The first semi-final match up we have a classic wrestler going up against a JUjitsu practitioner in Jesse Taylor and Tim Credeur. One of the more colorful characters in the house is Jesse Taylor, a genetic freak - able to get completely bombed, wet his pants in the hot tub, and eat all kinds of crap the night before the fight AND still make weight. On top of that - he’s able to impose his will on his opponents with his sheer strength and tenacity. The owner of multiple nicknames including “JT Money” - for when he means business and “Coco the Monkey” - for when he’s zipping around the house with a bottle of vodka in his clutches. For all intensive purposes I will be referring to Jesse Taylor as Coco (The Monkey) as much as humanly possible.
Matt Hughes vs Thiago Alves
It wasn’t that long ago that Hughes dominated the octagon with his tenacious wrestling, shooting in on his opponents taking them down at will then systematically employing his renowned ground and pound to grind them into submission. Those times may be over…
Gina Carano vs Kaitlin Young
Posing in Maxim magazine photoshoots, appearing in the upcoming Red Alert 3 video game, and spewing really bad one liner’s as an [tag]American Gladiator[/tag] personality - she also happens to beat other chicks faces in. She is Gina “Conviction” Carano and she is doing it all in style…
BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk
With nearly 3 to 1 odds favoring BJ Penn the outcome was a no brainer. How the fight developed and ultimately came to an end however, was a complete surprise. What was expected to be a showcase of high level Brazilian Jujitsu vs Wrestling - never materialized, instead a display of boxing from both fighters ruled 90% of the bout.
