OK, so after missing the PPV due to a buddy's suprise-party-turned-engagement-party, I'm finally getting a chance to watch the fights. What follow are my thoughts, and they probably aren't original or ground-breaking:

• Akiyama/Belcher
  • Haha, "Sexiyama".
  • Man, that was one heck of a ball shot!
  • OK, now I remember where I've heard of Akiyama before: the Asian Greasegate against Sakuraba. I was undecided over who I wanted to see win before, but now I'm solidly in Alan's corner.
  • 3 fairly good back & forth rounds of striking, I'm a little disappointed to not see more judo from Aki, but o well.
  • Man, Aki looks like Stitch is having to put him back together after the fight.
  • Wow, I guess that decision explains the tweet I got from Dana last night...
• Bisping/Henderson
  • Wow, Bisping honestly believes that Dan's a walk in the park? I hope he's just saying that as hype & not because he's that overconfident.
  • Rnd 1
    • Mike clearly doesn't want to stand still for Dan's shots.
    • BIG SHOTS!!!!! C'mon, end this fight!
    • Dan seems content to be patient & not over-extend.
    • Dan's connecting on some nice straight lefts but itsn't following it up much.
    • Time for some clinch night-mares for Mike.
    • Hahahaha, weakest shot ever!!!
    • 10-9 for Hendo.
  • Rnd 2
    • Mike starting the rnd with som eleg slaps but no real power behind 'em
    • Dan's still pounding away with power shots
    • Mike may be winning this rnd on oct. control, Dan needs to put it on him now.
    • GOOD NIGHT!!! BYE BYE BLACKBIRD!!!!!!!
    • AHHHHHHHHHHHahahahahahaha, I love it! The two most arrogant, annoying, TUF winners in history get poleaxed with just 1 PPV between 'em!!
• Alves/GSP
  • Well, unfortunately, I already know the outcome of this one (thanks for the spoiler, Kim), but not the when or how, so I guess it'll be interesting to see if it's a close fight or if GSP walks all over him.
  • Rnd 1
    • Nice takedowns by GSP early. Great job of following up when Thiago stood up.
    • RNC this early????? No way!
    • I'm impressed with how easily Alves got back up.
    • Man, two kicks & GSP's leg already matches his shorts...
    • GSP's answering with some wicked kicks as well.
    • Thiago's starting to look more comfortable now as the round ends, but I think GSP takes it due to the TDs & taking the back
    • Man, if Thiago's eye-lid is cut & all Goldie can talk abuot is Couture/Belfort, I'm gonna be pissed.
    • 10-9 for GSP.
  • Rnd 2
    • These TDs are looking really easy for GSP, but Thiago's using good defensive BJJ to keept GSP from passing.
    • The GnP here is textbook right now. Although I notice that GreaSeP's not "slipping" through guard as easily as he used to! :whistle:
    • Good to get up, but Thiago looks exhausted
    • I really like listening to Greg Jackson in between rounds. He's very calm & deliberate & precise with what he saysand what he wants his guys to hear.
    • 10-9 for GSP.
  • Rnd 3
    • Shocking, Thiago's coming out more fired up, just like Greg called.
    • Nice job with the TD defense, but I think that now he's been reminded of GSP's plan & he's hesitant now to throw, giving GSP time to set up a much better TD. Thiago looks out of his depth right now.
    • It seems like the only time GSP really has to be scared of Thiago is the 1st 15-20sec of a rnd or after a stand-up. After that panic flurry, Thiago gets scare of the TDs again & gets reserved.
    • Quick 1-2 from GSP drops Alves, can he finish????
    • Yet another rnd easily scored for GSP. He gets those TDs becuase he never gives up on them. He commits fully to all his attempts.
    • Haha, Greg even compliments GSP's nose-blowing!!
    • 10-9 for GSP.
  • Rnd 4
    • GSP is on fire right now. Mount.
    • Thiago's head looks likes it's going to pop it's so purple right now.
    • Armbar attempt lost, how's GSP handle bottom?
    • Defending fairly well, never took much damage.
    • Floors him again. Catches the foot, counters with the right & drops on top.
    • Thiago looks like he's been
    • Oooowwww, pulled ground. That sucks.
    • Hahaha "I don't care, hit him with your groin!" Really impressed with Greg's ability to nuetralized his fighters' worries & get them focused.
    • 10-9 for GSP.
  • Rnd 5
    • GSP needs to be smart here, Thiago's going to be looking for a home run all fight long. There will be a lot of desperation moves.
    • GSP's not showing any signs of groin pain, he's masking it well, not giving Thiago any hint that he's in pain.
    • 9th TD of the fight.
    • The Kampmann/Swick winner gets GSP next? Boo on that, niether of them are ready for GSP!
    • I count that as a 10th TD.
    • I guess no back-flip this fight, huh?
    • This rnd may well be 10-8. Thaigo's done nothing to threaten.
  • I've gotta guess at least a 50-44, maybe more.
• Lesnar/Mir
  • Rnd 1
    • Oooooo $h!t, no glove touch!!
    • OK, Brock in 1/2 guard, but seems to just be stalling right now...
    • Brock looks a litle nervous right now, afraid to open up & get caught.
    • Man, vicious punches to the face, Mir's bleeding a lot already. This arm control Brock's using is crazy. Frank can't be feeling good right now.
    • Brock's doing a good job of not giving Frank space to pull anything off, but he's not being overly exciting, either.
    • Man, Brock's almost as tall sitting as his corners are standing!!
  • Rnd 2
    • Brock looks exhausted for some reason. Are actually going to see a HW affected by the weight-cut?
    • DONE!
    • Man, those were some ridiculous power shots, Frank's still out of it.
    • Wow, has Brock been hanging out with the Diaz bros?
• Fitch/Thiago:
  • Rnd 1
    • O man, Fitch, don't tell me you're gonna tap to a guillotine now.
    • C'mon, Jon, let's go.
    • Nice! Good patience. Time to capitalize.
    • Nice technical battle. Not exciting, but still enjoyable to watch them work.
    • 10-9, Thiago, I think.
  • Rnd 2
    • Nice punches lead to a nice TD by Fitch.
    • Really, Fitch, you're gonna give up another guillotine?
    • Another TD.
    • Man, everybody in MMA these days rides way too high on the back.
    • I'd give this round to Jon, 10-9.
  • Rnd 3
    • More nice hands lead to another nice TD for Fitch.
    • Thiago's got a nice butterfly guard, but Fitch is neutralizing it well.
    • Paulo's getting worked right now. It's like Matt says: "You punch a BJJ black belt in the face a coupla times, he turns into a white belt."
    • 10-9 for Fitch.

Belcher lost, fair and square.

I rewatched the fight 5 times.
Aki got a taken down in the first, and landed a lot more power shots.
In the second and 3rd it was more of the same, Belcher landed leg kicks the whole fight, but thats it. He ate a LOT of shots from Aki, I mean a lot.

Aki landed 99 of 217, Belcher just 78 of 179 (that includes his leg kicks)
He was outstruck, fair and square.

In fact, in the first Aki landed 48 to Belcher's 22,
and scored a take down.. So how did Belcher win that one again?

In round 2, Aki landed 20 to Belchers 14, got a takedown and was on top for 3 minutes.

In the third and final round, Aki landed 36 to Belchers 42 but 11 of those were leg kicks. Aki also got a takedown in this round.


How on earth did anybody give any round to Belcher?
I don't get it. He was outstruck in every round but the 3rd,
and gave up a TD in that one.
Somebody please explain to me what two rounds he won, or how he won all three, or how on earth he was robbed?

Yeah, that's what I had thought, too. I was rooting for Aki at first, then realized he was the greaser against Sak & switched to rooting for Belcher, but still didn't really seeing Alan winning.

Yeah, no robbery IMO.

but Aki will have to show up a little better if he wants to beat the top guys at MW

Belcher's corner about went hoarse telling him to move forward and put shots together.
I thought Aki showed a solid chin and really awesome couter-striking. His intro was cool as hell too.

I love that he drops to his knees for a quick prayer before he fights

Aki took that Superman punch off the cage like it was nothing.
