Looking Back at UFC 100

Warning: Don’t read this if you’ve DVR’d UFC 100 and haven’t watched it yet.

 

Wow, UFC 100 has come and gone, and it was pretty entertaining. We got to see Dan Henderson totally knock out Michael Bisping, George St. Pierre dominate Thiago Alves, and Brock Lesnar convincingly beat up on Frank Mir.

I have to say the best parts of UFC 100 for me were:

1. After Henderson dropped Bisping, seeing Henderson fly in the air and drop one last power punch on Bisping — that was crazy.
2. Laughing at Lesnar’s totally off-the-wall comments when he was interviewed after his fight.
3. Bruce Buffer’s 180 — why don’t we get to see this more often?, and he actually did a 360 when announcing Brock Lesnar as the defending UFC Heavyweight champion. The 360 was sadly not televised — Joe Lauzon posted it on youtube only for Zuffa to have it taken down soon afterwards — which is dumb.
4. 2 rounds into the first fight, finding out that crazy tatoo of some guy’s head was a Johnny Cash tatoo. Lots of laughs from the guys I was watching the fights with that night.

 

 Fighters that weren’t in UFC 100, but that I’ve enjoyed

I’m looking forward to seeing Anderson Silva fight in UFC 101 in August. Here’s a highlight vid of him:

 

And here’s Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on Jimmy Kimmel Live from June 4th of last year (2008) after he beat Chuck Liddell for the Light Heavyweight Belt. I always get some good laughs listening to him speak.

 

Lastly, a highlight video of Mirko Crocop — who used to be “the man” from the Pride fighting organization in Japan, back in the day before they were bought out by the UFC (too bad Crocop has been very disappointing in the few fights he’s had in the UFC). Put it this way, if Lil’ Mac (from Mike Tyson’s punch-out Nintendo Game) was Croatian, taller, heavier, and had a wicked high leg kick, he’d be Mirko Crocop.
