Buying UFC events are a gamble. You're looking for knockouts and submissions to keep it exciting, but getting those results usually means the overall time of the match is short. If you want more for your money, then you're probably looking at split or unanimous decisions; however, those matches tend to drag on and are typically at a slower pace. So...you gamble. Tonight, after a lot of driving around, I stopped by my pal Justin's place where he had ordered UFC 114. I chipped in a little bit and had a pretty fun evening. As for the fights...let's just say just about every match went to the judges. Hell, even the Rampage-Evans fight went all 3 rounds (Rashad ended up winning by unanimous decision). Still, it was worth it with all of the friends around.
In other disappointing sports news, the Lakers finished off Phoenix, which means this Thursday will be the first game in a Boston-L.A. Finals. Detroit lost to Oakland in a shut out. Later in the day it was announced that Dontrelle Willis would be designated for assignment to make room for Max Scherzer (coming back from AAA). I have nothing personally against Willis, but I'm very happy that this move is being made. He just flat out doesn't have it anymore, and hasn't for the past few years. Why we gave him such an outrageous contract is beyond me. Oh, and Roy Halladay pitched the 20th perfect game in MLB history tonight. Wow.
Did you know there is a MMA fighter known as the "Korean Zombie"!? I'm getting that shirt!
