UFC 121: Cain Velasquez Dethrones Brock Lesnar

   One big array of punches from Cain Velasquez is all he need to take down the "baddest man on the planet", UFC's heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar. And as the whole crowd of Anaheim, California explodes to joy of  Cain's victory, the former champ Lesnar leaves the Octagon, bruised and bloodied on UFC 121.

   Lesnar started and showed why he is the champ by barging right into Velasquez using his strength as his advantage. But on every Lesnar offense resulted into Velasquez's instant defense-offense combination of punches. As the two traded punches in the middle of the first, Lesnar had a bad left eye already. Velasquez had Lesnar with a big punch that sent down the champ. But Lesnar got up again. And with Velasquez sensing the end of Lesnar, he followed it up with a set of punches that sent Lesnar again. As the challenger pummeld the champ, the referee had enough and stopped it at 4:12 of the first round.

   With the win, Velasquez became the first Mexican heavyweight champ of the UFC.



(TheBloggerSays: Really good fight. I was really rooting for Cain to pull this one up. Good overall performance by Cain really paved the way for him. I think Lesnar just didn't expect this kind of opponent.)

Vitali Kiltschko Decisions Shannon Briggs

It was all business again for Ukranian WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko after he pummeled former champ Shannon Briggs in 12-rounds of one sided action at Hamburg, Germany. It was all Klitschko right from the opening bell. Briggs didn't had the chance to unleash a flurry and was bloodied and beaten down. The only chance he got was in the final seconds of the fight as he let it all what he had left in him.

With the win, Klitschko retained his WBC title and improved to 41-2, 38KOs while Briggs dropped to 51-6-1, 45 KOs.



(TheBloggerSays: Another big win for Vitali over a big name in their division. But obviously, Shannon is another heavyweight fighter who just came back. Absolutely an over the hill fighter. Boxing's glamour division really needs someone who can match the Vitali-Wladimir tandem. If only can Manny, Floyd and Juan Manuel can fight their way up there.)

Morales To Fight Again On December

   Former multi-division champion and Mexican legend Erik "El Terrible" Morales is really eager to get back on top as he is expected to return to the ring on December 18 against a yet to be determined opponent for the WBC Silver super lightweight title at the fighter's hometown, Tijuana, Mexico.

   This will be Morales's third fight since his return last March and a win against his opponent will make way for a title fight against the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez-Michael Katsidis bout.



(TheBloggerSays: Erik is really squeezing what's left on him. A true warrior indeed, with this kind of attitude, I think Erik will stay for a while.)
