George St. Pierre vs Dan Hardy UFC 111

April 4th, 2010 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2010, Dan Hardy, George St. Pierre, MMA, Sports, UFC

George St. Pierre vs Dan Hardy UFC 111Is George St. Pierre too nice for MMA? Or did the UFC ask him to drag out this easy victory by stretching the fight a full 5 rounds. THE BREAKDOWN: Dan Hardy hit George St. Pierre once with an ineffective straight right. One touch, that’s it! So much for Dan Hardy’s theory of connection. George St. Pierre landed more strikes in their less than 2 minutes of stand-up, and George St. Pierre had several easy take downs each round. Dan Hardy could not defend the shot. On the ground George St. Pierre did nothing. He crawled lazily over a purple belt in jiu-jitsu, and he threw less than a dozen ground strikes in the entire fight. It appeared St. Pierre did not want to finish the fight.  George  St. Pierre’s ground and pound was never displayed against Dan Hardy as it was against BJ Penn and Matt Serra, both of whom are well qualified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts. George St. Pierre dominated them too, yet no finish.

What’s the fuck, George? 25 minutes later Canada’s own, George St. Pierre, won a unanimous decision over England’s previously undefeated middle weight hero, Dan Hardy. Hats off to Dan Hardy for surviving valiantly and escaping two scary looking submission attempts,  George St. Pierre’s armbar and kimura. Truth be told, George St. Pierre could’ve finished this fight at any time, he just didn’t!

George St. Pierre vs Nick Diaz

February 8th, 2010 by Brotherlove | 1 Comment | Filed in 2010, George St. Pierre, MMA, Nick Diaz, Strikeforce, UFC

George St. Pierre vs Nick Diaz isn’t likely to happen. George St. Pierre is the UFC welterweight champion ranked #1 in the world. Nick Diaz is the Strikeforce welterweight champion, ranked 3rd in the world, according to FightMagazine.com. I doubt the organizations will unify the title belts by putting there champions to the test. In my opinion, Nick Diaz wins by submission or TKO do to punches. If George St. Pierre wins, it’ll be a slow process with George St. Pierre controlling the ground game with his wrestling, but he’ll be unable to submit/finish Nick Diaz. It’ll go to the judges.

Both George St. Pierre (above) and Nick Diaz (below) have faced the highest caliber of MMA competition, and both have persevered. George St. Pierre has wins over, BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck, and several others, while Nick Diaz has wins over Robbie Lawler, Takanori Gomi, Frank Shamrock, and Scott Smith.

Rashad Evans VS Thiago Silva

January 3rd, 2010 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2010, MMA, Rashad Evans, Thiago Silva, UFC

Rashad Evans VS Thiago Silva, UFC 108, Fight Video is worth the purchase. I have to eat me words and admit UFC 108 was a worthy card. All the fights were competetive or ended with a great finish. Unfortunately the main event between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva, was the only snoozer. Both these light heavyweight fighters should have finished the fight. UFC 108 undercards were far more enthusiastic.

Rashad Evans VS Thiago Silva

January 3rd, 2010 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2010, MMA, Rashad Evans, Thiago Silva, UFC

Rashad Evans VS Thiago Silva, UFC 108, January 10, 2009. HAPPY NEW YEAR is not quite the way 2010 started for Light-Heavyweight Thiago Silva. Too little too late is the Brazilians nickname in this fight. An unfortunate decision favoring his opponent, Rashad Evans, earns Thiago Silva a second loss in his MMA career. I personally feel that this fight should not have been decided on, by the judges. Both Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva should have fought for a finish. The fans got gypped.
