OCC Aftermath: UFC 64 Unstoppable

The show is in the books so lets take it apart and examine it.



Best Fight: Sean Sherk Vs. Kenny Florian
I don't like Florian's nickname, Sherk's either for that matter but this was a tremendous fight. There was no spot where I thought they needed to pick up the pace any and the end of the third round was a hot one.
I wasn't surprised by the outcome and I think the length of the fight definitely worked to Sherk's favor as I thought he dominated the later rounds more than he did the early ones but I always thought even though Sherk won every round that Florian was always in the fight.

Worst Fight: Cheick Kongo Vs. Carmelo Marrero
I hate giving out the title of worst fight on this show as nothing was really bad but of all the fights I saw I'd call this one the worst. There was a lot of times where the ref stood them back up because they weren't doing anything. Marrero is a really good wrestler and Kongo is not. Things like this matter and things like this are also why you shouldn't follow my UFC picks ever if you're smart.

Biggest news: Anderson Silva Def. Rich Franklin
Yes, I picked Silva but it wasn't because I knew what was coming it was just a hunch. I also thought the fight would go the distance which shows again what I know. Silva is going to be one hard guy to beat and I don't know who is out there that is going to do it.

Most impressive victory, undercard division: Jon Fitch
Fitch looked real good in his fight with Kuniyoshi Hironaka. Spencer Fisher is also a high ranking candidate in this category as is Clay Guida as they all looked good to me but Fitch is a Beast as was said during the show.

Most impressive in defeat: Kuniyoshi Hironaka
I want to see this man fight more, he was in with a better man tonight but I hope we get to see him again.

Overall: I think I liked this show better than last month's which is something I write about UFC a lot these days. Hughes/Penn was a better fight than Silva/Franklin but I don't think anything on UFC 63 was as good as Sherk Vs. Florian. I've said this so many times that I'm sure you're all tired of reading it. I am a huge mark for the lightweight division.

Special note: It appears that today may have been one of the most successful days in terms of traffic that the corner has ever had. I very much appreciate anyone that logged on for coverage tonight, I hope you enjoyed what you read.
