UFC 119 adding Chris Lytle vs Matt Serra rematch

July 11, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   No comments

Just days after announcing the main event and co-main event for UFC 119, the UFC added another very solid main card matchup. A native of Indianapolis, Indiana Chris Lytle (28-17) was long rumored to be on the card in his hometown. His fight was made official on the card and his opponent is an old friend, Matt Serra (11-6).

The two appeared on season four on the Ultimate Fighter: The Comeback and meet in the finale. During that season the twist was the season winner also got a welterweight title shot against Georges St. Pierre. In the finale Serra took the title over Lytle by a very close split decision, earning the title shot against St.-Pierre.

Who Will Rise to the Occasion at 205 lbs.?

April 02, 2010   Jake Russell   3 Comments

An undisputed champion currently dominates all but one weight class in the UFC. At heavyweight, Brock Lesnar has solidified himself as a dominant champion after capturing the belt from Randy Couture and defending it against Frank Mir in devastating fashion. Anderson “The Spider” Silva has sat atop of the middleweight division for nearly four years now and looks to continue that dominance at UFC 112 when he faces an experienced grappler in Demian Maia. The king of the welterweights and the man who is widely considered to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is Georges St. Pierre. Since his loss to Matt Serra in April of 2007, St. Pierre has become a completely different fighter. After winning the belt back from Serra, he has dismantled every opponent put in his way. Last but certainly not least is the lightweight “Prodigy” BJ Penn. Every time we see a challenger emerge at 155 lbs., Penn’s title seems to be up for grabs, yet every time he fights he continues to prove himself and show us all why he is the greatest lightweight champion in history.

UFC 109 Fight Bonuses and Tito being Tito

February 06, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   1 Comment

A good night of fights tonight at UFC 109 with some good finishes sprinkled in with a lot of decisions. The finish by Randy Couture was a bit of a pleasant surprise as many thought he’d win but by a decision and to pull out a submission was nice. That was only the second submission is Couture’s UFC career (21 fights) and that’s saying a lot. The great thing was that wasn’t even the submission of the nightas that went to Paulo Thiago for his D’arce choke submission of Mike Swick.
