Ultimate fighter finale!!
According to rumours Kimbo Slice will be facing Houston Alexander at the ultimate fighter finale,If this fight comes to fruition then i have no doubt it will be a war,Both love to plant their feet and swing for the fences although i feel that Alexander will have a slight advantage as he has good knees and elbows as well as his punches.A win for Alexander would see Him back in the main stream with the ufc and Kimbo most likely would get another fight on the next fight night,should Kimbo win then he could find himself on a future under card.I hope it happens.

ufc 106 Co-main event
Now that Brock Lesnar has pulled out of the main event at ufc 106,Tito vs Forrest has moved up and replacing them in the co-main event is one I'm looking forward too...Josh Koscheck vs Anthony Rumble johnson,Johnson has been tearing through people but Koscheck is as tough as they come and if he can stand the initial onslaught could give Johnson some trouble.I look forward to that with baited breath.

Brock vs Carwin OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right people Brock Lesnar has called off the title fight between himself and Shane Carwin due to being ill and not being able to train for 3 weeks,Lesnar says and i quote "I have never been so ill in my entire life",What seems strange to me is why this news didn't come out like 2 weeks ago or at least a week ago,he cant of been hanging on to see if it would get better,after 2 weeks it would of dawned on the camp that it was serious.,Right now we don't know how Carwin is feeling, if he will get a new opponent or if the ufc will remove the fight altogether.Lets see,I'll keep you all updated.

The scoring system
Should the ten point scoring system stay?? As all those who witnessed Shogun lose by a dodgy judges decision to Lyoto Machida this weekend could clearly see the mma scoring system needs to be replace or radically changed,Shogun landed twice as many strikes as Machida but still lost,its possible that as the champion Machida already had an advantage in the judges eyes or that when he dodged punches and kicks he scored that way.Don't get me wrong i don't have the answer,i don't know of many other scoring system but i think the top bods should get together and devise a new one then implement it at perhaps a fight night as appose to a main ufc event just to see how it goes down.Any ideas chaps I'd love to hear them.
UFC 104 review!
Well what a great night of fights,albeit slightly marred by two possible dodgy judges decisions,in the co main event Cain Velasquez looked absolutely amazing,he was up against a veteran in Big Ben Rothwell and gave away reach, height, and about 25lbs in weight but that made no difference as Velasquez came out and simply dominated Rothwell both on the feet and on the ground and eventually the ref jumped in early in the second round as Velasquez was punching Rothwell repeatedly with no response from the fighter at all so the ref jumped in and called a halt to proceedings although there were unhappy calls from Rothwells corner who stated and quite rightly that Rothwell was getting to his feet so couldn't stop the punches,but never the less Rothwell was outclassed and Velasquez must now face surely the winner of Carwin vs Lesnar.
In the main event Everybody (myself included)thought that Machida was going to come in and dominate Shogun from start to finish,as it was Shogun came out and with some of the best leg kicks seen since Thiago Alves started wearing down the more and more frustrated looking Machida,Every time Machida came forward with a flurry Shogun answered with some well timed counter strikes,When it got to the fifth round Machida looked tired and had caught some big punches and was a bit bloodied.The judges came back with a unanimous decision for Lyoto Machida and he got the result he wanted,Many felt that shogun had possibly won it(me included) but as has been said many many times the ten point scoring system does not work well for mma and if you really want the title belt you will have to defeat the champion,never leave it in the hands of the judges,there are calls for a rematch and although i have no doubt it would be a great rematch i fear Machida would of learnt from this lesson and will be better prepared next time.
In other results a huge looking Anthony Johnson won very quickly when he ko'd yoshiyuki yoshida,think Johnson may have to move up to middleweight.Gleison Tibau defeated Josh Neer via unaminous decison and Spencer Fisher lost to Joe Stevenson via strikes in the first round.
