Vitor Belfort angry with Wanderlei Silva's Prediction

I didn’t waste my time watching [Wanderlei's video blog]. It’s just a spectator’s opinion. Spectators can say whatever they want. He just wanted to get some attention for himself. I don’t take it seriously. I will use my best characteristic - that is trading hits, boxing. It’s going to be a great test to strike with him. This is my job, right? I’m training Muay Thai a lot with a world champion and my karate coach is coming next month. I’ll be ready when I get there, you can be sure."

Marcus Davis drops dow to lightweight

It is official.Davis said:

"I think the UFC has me at a 70 (inch reach) and I think they do that because they feel bad for me. My reach is 69 (inches). That's got to be the worst reach at 170. Every fight that I've had in the past year and a half, I think the closest (opponent) to my reach has been six inches longer than my reach."

UFC Fighter Reggie Warren Jr. Violent Attack on Reporter

UFC 121 Preliminary Fights Results

Chris Camozzi vs. Dongi Yang - Camozzi Decision (Split)
Sam Stout vs. Paul Taylor - Stout Decision (Split)
Daniel Roberts vs. Michael Guymon - Roberts Submission (Anaconda Choke)
Tom Lawlor vs. Patrick Cote - Lawor Decision (Unanimous)

Court McGee vs. Ryan Jensen - McGee Submission (Arm-Triangle Choke)
I watched that fight and this is how I saw it - Jensen startet very well dominating MxGee during the first round showing superior stand up game. At that point McGee didn't have anything to offer in response. But suddenly druring the next two rounds McGee seemed fresher and pushed the fight.He completely smashed Jensen and managed to choke him. A good win for Court but still he is obviously not experienced enough and I think it will be good for him to have a few more fights in the preliminaries before going with the big names.

UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez results and recap

All right this was crazy event. Here we go:

Lesnar vs. Velasquez
Did you SEE that?!? Man, this was so unexpected. The match starts and Brock rushes towards Cain swarming on him with punches and kicks even managed to take him down. The Mexican didn't lose his composure even for a second and remained calm fighting his way up from the take down and in every exchange Lesnar was the one getting hit with big shots. After the first minute Brock was gassed out , had cut under his left eye and was obviously not ok losing balance and not defending intelligently. On the other hand Velasquez took him down a few times and hit him with heavy shots and unlike the Shane Carwin fight this shots were very precise. Total dominance from Cain Velasquez and late round one stoppage sealed Cain's title. Brock didn't have any chance here and gave credit and respect after the loss. As usual I was wrong with the prediction on this one as well as the results from the poll here on max-aggression :)
Result: Cain Velasquez TKO.

Jake Shields vs. Martin Kampmann
Kampmann gave a very good welcome party. Shields as expected was the better grappler, very calm and confident in his ground game, impossible to submit. Though he won very close without dominating Martin. His win was deserved but not convincing at all. I am not sure if he deserves the title shot after this performance but he will get it anyway.

Ortiz vs. Hamill
Honestly I don't like much both fighters because they are not so well rounded. Both are wrestlers with good ground and pound but lack many other qualities. Though Ortiz showed great desire to finally win he was just not good enough. Maybe its time for him to give up. If you can't beat Mat Hamill then what title shots are you talking about, Tito? Hamill is a good fighter showed superior boxing skills but we all saw what happened in the Jones fight. I don't think both guys are any threat in the light heavyweight division. They are just not good enough.The UFC also knows that and this fight wasn't that important for the overall situation in the division.Good for Mat and huge loss for Tito.
Result:Hamill via decision

Diego Sanchez vs Paulo Thiago
As I expected a good performance by Diego dominating Paulo during all round and getting deserved decision win.Still has to prove himself after the loss from BJ though.

Brendan Schaub vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
As I expected the overrated Gonzaga was a punching bag for three rounds. Brendan was so much better in his boxing and dominated the whole fight giving no serious chances to Gabe though at the end Gonzaga almost pulled the submission.
Result: Scaub decision
