Holy crap! Is it just me or is this gap between UFC73 and UFC74 waaaay too long!? It is DRY out there! I mean bone dry. They didn’t even toss in a Fight Night to appease us…its just barren, vacant landscape. I feel like I’m a fan of the Iditarod instead of the most exciting sport in the universe.
Sure I’m enjoying summer, and maybe the UFC needed a bit of a break but c’mon…this is really getting out of hand.
I’m getting the shakes and food’s starting to taste different.
Is this delay too much? Talk amongst yourselves….or just comment.

Are you freaking kidding me!!??
Less than a week after one of our resident bloggers MikeyD wrote an article about Steroids in MMA we find out that the current UFC Lightweight Champion of the freaking world, AND his opponent, Both were freaking juiced during their freaking title fight at freaking UFC73.
I think I’m gonna go home an punch myself in the dick till I pass out.
Now BOTH these guys are suspended for a year, fined $2,500 and have pissed off the entire MMA community. Sherk has not yet been stripped of his belt, but he might (and should) be by the UFC.
Check the statement that Hermes Franca issued to the boys over at MMAWeekly.com about his positive test.

I am a little hungover from last night and my neck hurts so chill and I’ll get the rest of the fight play by play for the undercard later. I have to watch it again - third time (stacked and) lucky.
I hope 07-07-07 was good for you guys.

Round one: A little dancing around and Nate kick low to Silva’s leg, followed by a right punch from Silva. Nate shoots for the takedown and gets Silva’s guard.
Silva is on his back early but is hitting home with some solid body shots. Silva pushes him off but Nate gets back in the guard, watching out for some of those vicious kicks up from the back he is still in there looking for a goof position to hit from. The referee stands them up which I was surprised about. Silva hits with a nice solid right and has Marquardt on his back a few shots later and Big John McCarthy stops the fight.
Anderson Silva beats Nathan Marquardt via TKO in round one with 10 seconds to go.

Time for Tito to STFU and fight.
Round one: Tito throws up his leg and it actually looks like a good kick (for once). He shoots and wrestles Evans down to the mat. Evans is pressed hard against the Octagon and skilfully defends against Tito’s attack, which is the best in the business – Evans stands it up. I always said if it stays stood up then Evans will win it.
Tito’s in a deep low stance back foot ready to push forward to shoot for the takedown. Tito tried for the takedown, and Evans sprawls and stops it. Evans reverses it and has Tito’s back to the Octagon. He hit’s Tito with a right but you can clearly see Evans’ thumb poke just under the eye and this is what cuts Ortiz. Ortiz is bleeding just under his right eye. Evans’ takedown defence is working for now and the round is over and Tito was by far the more dominant fighter.
Round two: A few shots thrown but nothing lands. Evans tries to take Tito down Tito’s defence is good and stuff it. A few more shots back and forth but again, nothing lands. Tito grabs Evans in the clinch and he works it over to the Octagon for the takedown dropping in a big shoulder shove into Evans face. Evans tries to get the leg and take Ortiz down but Tito stuffs it. Tito takes Evans down and pushes him right up against the Octagon and bring him into his zone. This is dangerous for Evans, this is where Tito wins his fights. Ortiz on top of Evans and is dominating the fight but isn’t hitting home with anything effective.
Evans reverses and Tito grabs the fence and has a point stripped for that. They’re both still hustling and Ortiz locks in a heavy guillotine choke but there is no time left in the round. The referee stops it and I thought it was a Tito victory by submission because I didn’t hear the bell. It WAS the FREAKING BELL.
Round three: they trade off a few shots and I think Evans needs a knockout here to win this. Tito forces Evans onto the side of the Octagon only for Evans to work it into an advantage and get some knees to the body from the clinch. Tito is leading the fight and pushing Evans all the time but he looks a little gassed from those knees from before. Evans swings some big shots at Ortiz but nothing hit’s home. Ortiz is throwing weak kicks but Evans is keeping his distance.
Evans shoots and scores a takedown late in the round and manages to work in some big elbow shots but it looks a little too late for it to take away from an Ortiz win.
The result comes in and because of that one point deduction, it’s called a draw and that’s complete bullshit.
