Well, UFC 126 ended on Saturday 02-05-11 and with a bang, with a straight kick that flattened out Vitor Belfort in the first round, compliments of Anderson Silva who learned the move from Steven Seagal. During the weigh ins, Silva put on a white mask to stare down Vitor with and that is why I dub him the Phantom of the UFC. I thought Vitor would win because Anderson had to be weakening from his other fights.... Wrong..WRONG WRONG... AND MORE WRONG. The Spider looked better than ever but will he be able to stop GSP, or Shields, if Shields beats GSP??? Probably so....
The fight before the main event was Griffin vs Franklin which I got right exactly, and ended up Griffin overpowering Franklin and Griffin winning the Unanimous Decision.
Next, we have Johnny Jones Bones vs Ryan Bader, and of course I predicted that it wound end in a TKO first round victory for Jones. Nevertheless, Bones won a by Guillotine Choke and then was offered a gift.... Bones will be facing off against Sho Gun Rua, since, Rashad has now been injured.
Rashad must be kicking himself to be seeing his own teammate get a chance at the belt, but, Rashad should have tried to at least fight someone else while Sho Gun was injured (at least to pay the bills if for any thing).
