For UFC 137 I will cheer for all my own favorites, even if recently they never seem to win the big fights they really need to win.
B.J. Penn vs. Nick Diaz
I keep think BJ is retired, but always has one final fight lined up…
Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione
Kongo is a good heavyweight gatekeeper that seems to lose that one final fight before a title shot…
Mirko Filipović vs. Roy Nelson
Maybe Roy will finally lean up a bit and get to the top level fighters.

A good main event plus a nice Matt Hughes ‘celebrity’ fight makes UFC 135 look alright.
Great fight. If I could call up Dana White direct and ask for specific fights this is probably one I’d ask for. An overall great entertaining fight.
It’s like a flash-back fight watching the stars from the UFC 5 years ago. Still I hope they both perform great and can make another potential title run.
UFC 135 looks like a show being carried by the amazing main event. Hopefully I’m wrong and they are all good fights.

The home crowd had the best UFC night possible. One favorite champ winning after another. Very entertaining to watch.
Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami
Good fight with a great finish. Yushin deserved a title shot, but I think the UFC promoters knew how this would turn out.
Maurício Rua vs. Forrest Griffin
Even when he loses Forrest is still great to cheer for and watch. I hope he’s back in action soon.
Brendan Schaub vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira
The crowd made this one great to watch. It almost turned into a Rocky movie somehow.
A mediocre card could end up being one of the best UFC shows I remember for the year.

Overall UFC 134 looks good, but this is the first time I’m already reading up on the next event, UFC 135…
Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami
Looks ok. It has been a long time now since those boring Silva wins… so I’m hoping he puts up a good show this time. If he gets a few judging points early and rides out the rest of the fight… so painful to watch.
Maurício Rua vs. Forrest Griffin
Win or lose Forrest should be included in every UFC fight card. (Or bring back Keith Jardine.) Always cheer for Forrest.
Brendan Schaub vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira
Maybe the UFC is backing Brendan Schaub as the rising star in this fight. I’m cheering for him in this one.

One of the few UFC shows where the main fights maybe matched everyone’s expectations. Overall a decent show, but still not quite at the pay-per-view level.
Rory looked great. Already looking forward to his next fight.
Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
Vitor looked great. If he got caught and KO’d by the front kick by Akiyama that might have been a career ender… phew.
Average main event fight. Rashad look great. Tito also looked good, but one step behind Rashad to always be on the defensive. No huge rush to see either of their next fights.
Aug 05 2011
Overall UFC 133 looks like an odd patch up of available fighters to make a fight card. Sometimes these ones can end up being great shows… but the UFC must still need Brock Lesnar to bring in massive pay-per-view buys.
Looks like a great fight. Cheering for Rory to keep moving up the UFC ranks with this win.
Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
Also looks good. Not really cheering more for either fighter. They are both alright.
Is this the main event? Kind of strange how Tito was almost booted from the UFC and now he’s one fight away from a title show. It’s a like a daytime drama show behind the scenes. Just hoping for a good fight, no real favorite here.
