UFC 130: Edgar vs Maynard III

[Deezy]

Seeing as Vancouver doesn't play until wednesday, I might get this.

 

[Troy]

Stann defeated Santiago via KO (punches) at 4:29 of round 2.
Story defeated Alves via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
Browne defeated Struve via KO (superman punch) at 4:11 of round 1.
Mir defeated Nelson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26).
Jackson defeated Hamill via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).


So in the end Jackson proved too good for Hamill and now the talk will all be about who Rampage will face next.

Shame that Struve and Nelson couldn't win. I was hoping that they would both move up the rankings and get closer to title matches.

Brian Stann impressive again and I want to see him face a top contender in his next fight.

Frank Mir is a fucking goon yet against. Walks in there with a cocky smile on his face, pretty much dominates Big Country (Not as impressive as Roy was gassed though), makes his entrance song get 100K plus new views on youtube and wins. And Dana still critiques his performance, which I didn't think was as bad as the Cro Cop fight.

Anyways, I didn't hate this card. Overall, if you truly think about it, I thought it was better than the UFC 126 card.

Travis Browne gives us a sick KO that makes Sportscenter's top 10

Brian Stann, American hero wins against Santiago and dominates, makes me interested in seeing him possibly fight a top 10 guy now.

Rick Story vs. Thiago Alves was a good fight imo. Rick Story has a strong chin, and Alves remains just like Kenflo at 155 and Nate the great at 185.

Rampage vs. Hamill wasn't really a good fight, and I was hoping Rampage would finish him, but Rampage said he had a fractured wrist.

If Rampage's doctor says he can start training soon, he'll fight Jon Jones, but if he can't, Lyoto Machida will fight Jon Jones. And Rashad Evans loses his shot I guess.

Interested in seeing where Stann goes from here he is picking up a lot of momentum every time he fights.

 

[Troy]

He has to fight a contender next. He has impressed in UFC so far and he needs to come against a top opponent to see whether he is a chance to win the title or not. He needs a bigger challenge and I am sure he is up to it.

Where does Mir go from here? With Lesnar out it is JDS vs. Carwin to face Velasquez so who is left for Mir to face?

 

[Deezy]

I wouldn't mind seeing Stann take on a brand name in his next fight, Vitor/Wandy someone along those lines would be a good matchup for him.

I don't think Rampage should get a title shot, he was hardly that impressive in this fight. Since his opponent was just trying to survive and not actually have a fight.

 

[Troy]

Stann vs. Wandy I can see happening. Not sure if Stann will be given Belfort this early, maybe another win before he gets a shot at him.

I agree, I don't think that Rampage deserves a title shot from this fight. Rampage should have to fight a contender before he gets in the title picture.
