WEC 51: Aldo v. Gamburyan

[CPT]

Great show!

Lots of surprises:

Garcia actually losing a decision (even though the judges tried their best to **** it up...that should have been 30-27 all around)

Korean Zombie getting KO'd cold, by George freaking Roop.

Cerrone completely working over Jamie Varner, in every area of the game, including wrestling. I don't like Varner, but I thought he would more or less have his way with Cerrone.

Manny lasting as long as he did.

Will be interesting to see what happens next with all of the fighters. I would bet on Zombie vs. Garcia 2, with both guys coming off a loss, and Aldo's next challenger will most likely be Grispi, but other than that, I'm really not sure.

Hominick looked good. **** man, MMA needs to get their judges in order. There's just no sensible way that the one judge could have given two rounds to Garcia. In close rounds, are they just flipping a coin?

Roop vs KZombie is tonight's proof the sport has a long way to go before it's respectable. Exciting fight but largely because basic defense and punching power is so poor. Look at how great Hominick had been at defending when backing out of range or after finishing a combo. In contrast, Korean Zombie looked like ****. His right hand was at his navel when that kick came.

I do not want to see KZ vs Garcia II. At all. This is a sport. You need to fight to win.

A brawl like that serves no purpose other than to watch two guys take years off their lives in order to please an audience. It creeps me out.

Cerrone’s performance was mind-blowing and I haven’t seen such unique and exciting performance in my whole life. His moves are improved now and getting better and better.

Holy hyperbole.

Maybe they should have a Zuffa Grand Prix with Cerrone beating Brock in the finals.
