my thoughts:
Kendall Grove looked awesome. Much better ground game and great use of his reach for one
Okami vs. Swick: both were too hesitant and too defensive. Okami should have been more aggressive in tryintg to get it to the ground, Swick should have been more agressive in striking. Okami has some promise though.
Why would anyone stand toe-to-toe with Huerta? The guy is a moster, he was dropping bombs the whole fight, and he took a lot of shots and just shook them off. Reminds me a lot of Crocop. If Huerta can improve his ground game / subs, he should be a serious contender. His striking is already among the best. Garcia has to be given credit for lasting as long as he did. He took a ton of punishment and kept fighting.
Koscheck will be a champion very soon. He made Diego look like shit and if you knew nothing about the fight you would have thought Koscheck was the -200 fav 30 seconds into the fight. Kos looked awesome on his feet and you know he has an A+ ground game to fall back on if he needed it.
Serra - I threw a small bet on him. I thought St Pierre was overrated but I never thought Serra would blast Georges like he did. Hell, this is the first MMA KO I can remener seeing on sportscenter. |
