Things We Learned While Watching UFC 110

by Donna on Feb 21, 2010 11:30 AM EST in Random Thoughts and Ramblings

I know you all desperately missed our live blogging last night, but we watched 110 from an Australian Bar without interwebs access. So as not to fully ruin your weekend, we decided to post the things we learned last night.

1. Throwing a wadded up napkin at a woman's head to get her attention is never an effective means of communication.

2. Cain Velasquez is a beast.

3. Matt Serra doesn't like to be called a drunk (see Middle Easy for more on that).

4. In a room of 200 people, Beth and I, along with one other brave soul, were the only Bisping fans.

5. Cro Cop looks really good when the guy he's fighting only has two days notice.

6. A taxi from 79th street to wall street at 1 AM costs $20.

7. This isn't really a thing we learned, but a classic story that needs to be told. Met a great lady named Lisa last night. A total badass that trains Jiu Jitsu in New Jersey. Some dude tried to approach her, cause, you know, she's purtty. She, being the polite lady she is, asked him if he trained. He said, "Yes." She said, "Where?" He said, "Some anonomous trainer." At which point Lisa points out her Gracie Jiu Jitsu t-shirt, which is where she trains. GENIUS!!!! I've heard of this happening, but I've never seen it in person.

8. If you're under 25, have a vagina, and live in NYC, you cannot hold your liquor.

9. As much as I dislike Bader (because of his CB Dollaway affiliation) he looked pretty good last night. If you had told me yesterday morning that Bader would win by knockout, I would've slapped you in the face.

10. UFC 110 kicked UFC 109's ass.

the fights were excellent and no major problems except maybe bonnars head.

bispings footwork has gotten much better and silva needed those last 25 seconds to win that fight. cain velasquez also went to arizona state university. 3-0 for them(asu) bader who i picked to win and dolloway won also. i would put cain v. vs jds and winnner gets winner of lesnar/mir-carwin winner. the top five heavyweights are looking good. if you put fedor vs those top 5 guys he loses 2 of those matches. just like they closed the door on noguiera when he got beatdown by cain the same thing will be said of fedor if he were to ever face one of these guys. i can’t get enough mma. i want more.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"

Brave being Bisping fans. ;)

Serra got angry, huh? He’s one of my favorites but when you give an interview f’ed up, you get what you get dude.

Main thing I learned

I’m completely burned out on MMA. I don’t know what it is but I haven’t been able to get excited for the last two PPV’s even though two of my favorite fighters were fighting. To me it’s become less about wanting to watch the fights and more doing it out of habit. So I bid farewell to PPV’s for a while.

Last night was the first UFC PPV event that I haven’t paid for in awhile. It was really nice to not have to shell out $50, and I swear I enjoyed it more. When you pay, it’s like you’re constantly waiting to get your money’s worth.

yup

What really sucked is that i DID pay for this!!!!

My stream died after a year of being up :-( (right when I shared it with somebody. coincidence? shifty eyes) So I need to fidn anew one, but that take some time and I got home at 10:05 and NEEDED to see Cro Cop rape some poor Aussie so I just forked over 45 bucks

No offense, gals, cause I know you’re under the spell and all… but my $50 was well spent on seeing Bisping lose. It felt weird though… it was like it wasn’t Wandy who fought, it was some other dude with a normal nose.

Of course, I had to admit (once again), in front of my hubby and a roomful of other ppl, that no matter how much I dislike AKA, those guys can sure fight.

LOL I totally agree on Bader… poor Jardine. He looked so lost after the fight.
