TITO. He’ll be fighting Mark Coleman sometime in the near future.

Kendall Grove almost broke Ricardo Almeidas arm.. who woulda thought. Ricardo Almeida still won a decision.

Referee Dan Miragliotta still sucks.

LOL @ Forrest Griffin running out of the cage… and why does it seem like Anderson Silva’s punches hurt everyone so much worse than other people? I remember a straight right hand that sent James Irvin to the mat holding his face and curled in the fetal position. This one on Forrest was a backpeddling right jab that sent him down…WTF?

I felt embarrassed for Forrest.

BJ Penn vs Kenny Florian was a good fight, as I expected. Penn choked Florian into a tapout with a rear-naked choke. Penn is still dominant at 155lbs, because I believe Florian was the legit #1 contender.

Dana White wants to have a UFC event at Fenway Park in Boston sometime in the future.

George Roop over George Sotiropoulos (seriously?)
Alessio Sakara over Thales Leites
Tamdan McCrory over John Howard
Aaron Riley over Shane Nelson by KO
Kurt Pellegrino over Josh Need by decision
Ricardo Almeida over Kendall Grove by submission
Amir Sadollah
Forrest Griffin over Anderson Silva (what!?)
Kenny Florian over BJ Penn.. by doctors stoppage.

Well, Chuck Liddell got KTFO again. Damn. Get well soon, Chuck. I wish he’d get back on a winning streak, somehow.

Anderson Silva was semi-impressive, in the fact that he didn’t get punched nearly at all, in five rounds of fighting. He won a unanimous decision over Thales Leites. Was Silva trying to finish the fight? Or is he just happy to get a decision?

Other results from UFC 97 are:
Sam Stout defeated Matt Wiman (robbery decision, imo)

i have a bad habit of picking who i want to win, and not who will probably win.. oh well.. how long can Anderson Silva’s winning streak stay intact?
