UFC 111 Post-Fights

Well, the UFC finally put on a good fight card.. and it even delivered! Ben "Killa B" Saunders never had a chance against Fitch. Fitch, it his usual fashion, laid on Ben for three solid rounds and got a decision. It is by no-means an exciting style of fighting to watch, but hey, he got the "W"and he would have been an idiot to stand with Saunders so I can't fault him for that.

Shane Carwin proved that he is the one who deserves to take on Brock Lesnar and not Frank Mir. The fight was relatively even until Carwin unloaded uppercuts onto Mir's chin and then finished him off on the ground, eerily similar to the way Brock beat Mir in their rematch. Brock seemed to think he was being tough when he told Shane that what he had was a "make-believe belt" and that he held the real one. It kind of back-fired when Shane agreed to this statement. Well, it's obvious, Brock does have the "real" belt, no one is denying that. The fight between Shane and Brock should be a good one, they both have a similar stand-up-and-bang style. It's hard to picture someone as big as Brock getting knocked out, but I'm sure Carwin will try his hardest to do it.

The main event featured welter-weight Stud Georges "Rush" St-Pierre taking on Dan "How the hell did I get a title shot" Hardy. Georges, as predicted, won the fight; but it wasn't quite in the fashion that Georges, nor I wanted. Georges easily got the decision and was close to finishing Hardy with two submissions but Hardy refused to tap. The most annoying part was that after the fight you couldn't even tell that Hardy had been in a fight, there wasn't a scratch or a bruise on his hideous face. Georges is obviously unreal, and like Fitch he also laid on Dan for the whole fight, but unlike Fitch, GSP made it exciting. However, I can't believe that GSP couldn't even finish off Hardy, and seemed to enflict no damage on him the entire fight. GSP needs to throw some more elbows and punches to the face in the guard instead of constant body punches. Those would obviously hurt, but don't expect a tap from those, they would be more annoying than anything. GSP will most likely take on either Kos or Paul Daley in his next fight, in the words of 80's classic Three Ninjas, "FINISH HIM!".

Overall, it was a good fight card and was finally worth the $44.95 pay-per-view price.
